mushroom risotto for valentine’s day ❤️

so Shopsins (in Essex Market) makes a BEC with two mac-n-cheese pancakes instead of a roll. oh and it's covered in broiled cheese and served with homemade hot sauce and make syrup

has anyone made a literal heat-map for the max planes? i feel like half the plane is roasting while the other half is freezing and i’m curious if there’s any predictable pattern…

birthday pho at saigon social

for a couple hours today it was above freezing for the first time in a few weeks. the east river (yes, flowing “backwards” as it likes to do) has chunks of ice floating in it
