West Village eats
MUG highlights Cornelia Street's array of moderate restaurants today. Though they sound tempting, I've yet to explore any of them except Home, where last October (on our visit to find an apartment) we stopped in for some comfort and warmth during a downpour after a brutal altercation with a real estate broker. Home was homey alright, alas Jason's macaroni & cheese had plastic in it. They apologized and gave us free desert and coffee, but the damage was done and our appetites disappeared. We slogged back to my cousin's apt. in the rain, wondering whether we had the stamina to live in NYC. I think I'll try Le Gigot if we dare eat on Cornelia Street again.

Strawberry Fields Forever
Food traditions bind my family; I'm reminded of that every year when I drive to north-central Massachusetts to pick strawberries with my grandparents.
Comparing Frozen Fish to Fresh
My mother swears by frozen fish. I was unconvinced, and decided to put her statements to the test: could flash-frozen fish taste as good as fresh local fish from the Greenmarket or even fresh fish from a local supermarket?
