Lissy's Graduation Party

Beautiful backyard party for Lissy's high school graduation! Even with caterers (first time ever??), still lots of good mom cooking and tons of baked goods:

Gajillion cake balls plus unphotographed pies, kulfi popsicles, pecan bars, and others.

Delicious NYC summer lunch at Gramercy Terrace, with a soft shell crab sandwich and a surprisingly awesome pulled pork:

Taco night at Deepa's

Fish steak avocado wine yum yum

Jacob's Pickles!

Yummy Friday meal w John,Yayone, and Jenn at Jacob's Pickle. Started w this assortment of pickled items - carrots, jalapenos, cucumbers, and green tomatoes, all good:

Then fried chicken and honey and hot pickles on a biscuit w cheese grits:

Sandwich was decent - biscuit was too crumbly, chicken wasn't as juicy as I'd like, and the grits were way too liquidy...still can't find the southern meal of my dreams up here!
