I have a good feeling about 2012. Most people I know would ask me to quantify my feeling. I will do so by saying I’m more than 75% sure the world is not going to end on the Mayan calendar, leaving 25% probability that it could occur. Being  realist I’m certain there’s so much more we need to learn before things come to an end. According to the quantum physics the end may never come.

Now that you understand the logic of my thinking and that I enjoy using my brain. I’ve been thinking that I would like preserve my ability to think logically for a long time considering I may have another 50 years to live in this world. My New Year’s Eating Resolution is to eat more:

• Spinach
• Carrots
• Fish
• Walnuts
• Berries
• Drink more coffee

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I have good feeling about 2012! Despite reports of doom/gloom. I think 2012 is going to set the steps for our future. Let’s kick this off by celebrating what we learned from the past by something new and exciting to clang our glasses too.

<class=”msonormal”>In 2008, Daily Eats explored everything from hot dogs (there were a few hot wars over best of the hot dogs), to the fine fine art of fine art dining. It was a good year for a variety of foods in 2008. This was the year SPAM resurfaced as the caviar of hard times. NYC restaurant owners reached out to bloggers. Even Blake the Cat had an opinion on eating.

You can say 2008 was the best of times and the worst of times.

Perhaps in 2009, we will see resurgence in dining at home, and the home dinner parties where friends will take turns cooking meals for each other to save on the cost of food. In which good neighbors will bake an extra casserole for a neighbor who may need it. Or provide a meal for a homeless person.

In 2009, we all know we are all in this together so faster we realize our strength is in helping each other the faster this economic crisis will be over.

I will look forward to reporting for Daily Eats on all sorts of types of food events from my new location, Chicago.

have a great 2009!

Yeah that’s right I hulu too. I hulu while I’m cooking, but I’m not watching cooking shows I usually watch sci-fi. According to some researchers women don’t usually watching sci-fi…yeah right.

Here’s a list of my favorite sci-fi on hulu:
Firefly – why did they ever cancel the series when it was on tv?
Battlestar Galactica – finally! A sci-fi show with guts
Total Recall 2070 – which is really so bad it’s good
Eureka
American Gothic
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles – I think it’s better than the original
Medium
New Amsterdam
Chuck

Old favorites like Highlander. I even watched The Sixth Sense – was weird.

Movies I watched
Astro Viz: Black Holes
Naked Lunch
Titan AE

While not cooking and watching I’ll watch and eat. While watching the season start of the Battlestar Galactica I prepared a pesto penne with a mixed green salad. I poured my self a glass of sparkling apple cider. For dessert I had double chocolate chocolate chip cookies.

BTW hulu doesn’t require a TV just a computer and I don’t have TV.

I went to Market Café for the first time. I read about the quality of food from this Hell’s Kitchen eatery. I also heard about the service. Despite the pros and cons I wanted to experience this for myself, this is my neighborhood after all.

First Market Café is all about the food and the food is awesome. I had the fresh fish of the day which was Tilapia with golden potatoes and green beans. It was great!

Since this is a neighborhood place the service is the same service you expect from a “hometown” diner, waiter tries to make small talk and has to manage all the tables in the restaurant.

But Daniel was full of surprises. When I ordered the chocolate cake I was expecting “just” a slice of chocolate cake nothing exceptional. When Daniel finally brought me the chocolate cake, suspected they were still baking the cake when I ordered it, I gasped, it was the biggest slice of chocolate cake I’ve ever seen. So big even I was embarrassed.

The table next to mine sat four, one of the gentlemen, Richard Schoeller, offered to help with the cake if I joined his table. It was all kind of magical. There is something about chocolate cake which makes most people smile and something about a big slice of chocolate cake which makes most people want to help dig in. I loved to offer to share.

The chocolate cake lived up to my expectations of delicious cake. Go to Market Café go there to relax and enjoy the food, remember relax and enjoy! And try the chocolate cake with a friend or two.

NY, NY - Early morning train ride I can not resist getting my favorite smoothie and chocolate crossiant from Dishes located on lower level of Grand Central. The lower level of Grand Central has some fabulous places for food! Take a look for yourself…
