Food trucks at the NYPL

Top marks to Milk Truck for the grilled cheese sandwich!!

The daily rotation at the NY Public Library, 40th and Fifth Ave.  An autumn event that goes along with a library exhibit on the history of the NYC lunch hour (there's an Automat!).

Tried a chicken parm sub -- meh.  Will try the pizza next time.

Lots of options--meat (chicken, brisket, carne asada, pulled pork), carbs (burrito, taco, rice), sauce (5 kinds of BBQ sauce) and various sides. I had brisket over rice with Mexican BBQ sauce, slaw and guac. Then I needed a nap.

.

Awesome lobster roll (big chunks of lobster w/homemade lemon mayo) but pricey ($16)

Pork and chives dumplings! A solid B+ (pretty darn good considering it's from a truck)

Israeli falafel sandwich in a pita with tahini sauce and hot peppers.  Almost as good as the falafel I had in Paris!

Bolinas- August 2012

Two weeks in Bolinas as part of a house-swap from last summer...    Bolinas is just south of Stinson Beach in Marin County. The house is on a bluff overlooking Bolinas Bay and the Pacific Ocean.   

J. came for labor day weekend.  We had a family gathering on Sunday for M's birthday. Below: tidepooling at Agate Beach, about 15 minute walk from house.

 on Monday J and I drove out to the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse, reputedly the foggiest point on the Pacific coast.

Below:  The cheese at Cowgirl Creamery in Pt. Reyes Station; and the 2 mile walk to Tomales Bay. Egrets and hawks everywhere.

 Agate beach, when the sun is out.
