Blood Oranges and other important snacks

We are making a very slow crawl into the beginning of spring and the end (FINALLY) of winter.  You may find you need a little something special to keep you going.  Might I suggest that you stop reading this (STOP NOW!) and go find some blood oranges.

You actually do need to hurry because the blood orange season is ending pretty soon.  But really, when you bite into a blood orange its like a burst of magic in your mouth.  When you open your eyes there are chihuahuas, smiles and rainbows everywhere.*

If you saw TONY this week, you’ll know that Astoria on 30th avenue was mentioned as being one of the New Yorkiest blocks in NY.  That’s cool, but they missed alot of awesome places, which luckily you can read about here on the blog and of course at Joey in Astoria.  They mentioned Tereizzi bakery, which is pretty cool.  But right now we are pretty obsessed with the almond horseshoes from Frank’s bakery . You’ll want to hurry and eat that.  Passover starts Weds evening.

You too can be a graphic artist even if you don’t understand anything about photoshop or other complicated programs. All you need is a basic understanding of MS Paint and how to cut and paste.  A love of pac-man is helpful, but not required.
