when laundry doesn’t get done.

Friday, January 30th, 2009

i admit i have a tendency to let our laundry get out of control, at the present time it’s pretty behind. but last night i knew it was really bad when i was in the shower and i heard stu ask me the funniest question. i looked out behind the shower curtain and he is wearing my sweatpants and asks: “do these look like ladies pants?”

i laughed and laughed. they did look like ladies pants but they were clean and warm to sleep in and he wore them. so this weekend LAUNDRY.

p.s. look for our weekly shop update on Monday!

black sesame ice cream + hopia

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Happy Chinese New Year!
One of our favorite places to explore and wander around is in Chinatown in New York. Almost every weekend when we lived in the city we often found ourselves there satisfying our cravings of dim sum, fresh baked delights and ice cream in flavors like almond cookie, lychee or black sesame ice cream. I miss Chinatown the most. Here are our favorite two places to visit in Chinatown.

Golden Fung Wong Bakery. A tiny unassuming bakery on Mott Street. There is a filipino treat called Hopia that they make here. It is a delicious bean filled pastry. They come wrapped in wax paper and are filled with either Mung Bean, Black Bean or Lotus Seed. My favorite is filled with black bean.

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. Delicious and unusual ice cream flavors like Almond Cookie, Avocado, Lychee, Taro and Black Sesame. Mmmm.

*Shop update today, see what’s new.
