The Best Breakfast

Lately, I have been totally addicted to low-fat cottage cheese and berries for breakfast. This is so light, so filling, and so nutritious! You have to try it. I recommend fresh blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries all mixed together. Don't OD it on the berries, just use a medium size handful per 1/2 cup cottage cheese (one serving).

Some Words of Wisdom from Nick Kristof

From his latest Editorial A Scare, a Scar, a Silver Lining Nicholas Kristof shares his close call with cancer and some really good advice everyone should follow

"Stop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. Slather on sunscreen and avoid tanning salons. Avoid charred meats. Check yourself over for lumps, changes or irregularities, whether in breasts or testicles or skin, and consult a doctor if you have doubts. Try to microwave food in glass or ceramic containers rather than plastic. Toss out plastic food containers that are marked 3, 6 or 7 at the bottom (unless they say “BPA-free”). Buy a radon detector to check radon levels around your house."

Beckhams Enjoying Whole Foods

Sputtering Back in Time

Woke up this morning to find my block lined with Ford Model Ts. They are filming Boardwalk Empire the new HBO series with Steve Buscemi, but unfortunately I didn't get to see him. Crazy how much these cars leak oil, it was flowing down the block and they were sputtering and bumping around, the brakes didn't seem to work all that well either, but still pretty good for 90 years old.

Sleigh Bells drops debut album TREATS

Sleigh Bells played last night in Bushwick Brooklyn and the show was so insanely good even if MIA didn't show up like we thought they would. The band from Brooklyn is Alexis Krauss (vocals) and Derek Miller (guitars/production). Their album TREATS is out today on itunes. Look out for Ring Ring my favorite song!

Big Bambú @ the Met

Took a tour of Big Bambu yesterday on the roof of the met. This work by Doug+Mike Starn is so completely organic--a rooftop bamboo jungle gym made only out of bamboo and held together by special rock-climbing string. Walking up in the sky on these narrow wave-like pathways felt so free and ethereal and so ancient-day yet forward thinking. This installation is really really fun and the experience is a must. I plan to revisit it a couple more times this summer as it expands further across the roof of the met and up to 40ft into the air.

Afterward hit up the cafeteria for the AMAZING salad bar and some beers.
