NOT YOUR GRANNY'S QUILT

IT IS NO MYSTERY THAT I AM A HUGE A.P.C. FAN AND I LOVE THIS ADDITION OF QUILTS THEY ARE DOING. THE QUILTS ARE MADE FROM 50 COLLECTIONS' WORTH OF UNUSED COTTON, TWEED, CORDUROY, AND PRINTED SCRAP COTTON FABRIC. HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITES.

UPDATE: MC SORLEY'S

TYRING TO OUT RUN THIS F'ING WEATHER I DUCKED OUT OF THE COLD INTO MC SORLEY'S FOR A WARM SPOT BY THE FIRE, A SNACK AND A BEER. CHEDDAR CHEESE, RAW WHITE ONION AND HOMEMADE MUSTARD (WITH A KICK). I WALKED OUT A LOT MORE TOLERANT OF THE FRIGID WEATHER.

POTTED MEAT

THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN THE GAME FROM SEASONS PAST IS EMPTIED OUT OF THE FREEZER. A LONE RABBIT IN THE CITY FRIDGE WAS TURNED INTO A GLORIOUS RILLETTE. THE RECIPE, THAT SOAKS THIS LITTLE DEVIL IN GIN AND HERBS FOR 48-72 HOURS CAME FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS, AMERICAN CHARCUTERIE BY VICTORIA WISE. (SEE RECIPE ON PAST POST: ADVICE FOR RABBITS) THESE POTTED MEATS GUARANTEES THAT THERE IS ALWAYS A QUICK, GOOD MEAL IN THE FRIDGE. SERVE WITH A COLD CHABLIS, YOUR FAVORITE MUSTARD AND BREAD.
