My daily breakfast is fairly humdrum and ordinary (grapefruit, oatmeal, tea) but succinctly displays why I so love Heath Ceramics: clean-lined, simple yet brilliant pieces that make even a measly Monday morning meal worthy of a photo shoot.

the elusive jon
Though Anna, Jan and I have some admirers—Jon, the sole male in our eat.shop gaggle—has a pretty substantial fan club. It could be his rugged good looks or his impish charm or his special way with the written word. Who’s to say. When word began to leak out that he began working on the new edition of eat.shop paris last week, some of Jon’s Club wanted to see if they could catch sight of him trodding the cobbled streets. I’ve attached a picture so he’ll be easier to spot.
playing with food
I could blather on endlessly about my newly begun love affair with 2nd Ave Deli in New York and the funny, friendly, uber-competent staff there, but I will leave that mash note for the upcoming book. I will though launch up a couple of pictures of Sayed’s intricate food sculptures which live in the deli cases right next to the macaroni salad and roast chickens. Ge’oni.
the shoe that ate nyc
Here in NYC the “it” shoe of the fall seems to be the Dieppa Restrepo patent leather lace-up “moccasin.” We’ve seen it at Jumelle (where Jan took this shot), Maryam Nassir Zadeh, and beyond. I guess I should say that it is not just the “it” shoe here, but all over the country as I recently tried a pair on at Stand Up Comedy in Portland. Alas, my foot didn’t get along with these loverly shoes. Here’s our question at eat.shop: why are they moccasins? We’re thinking they are more of an oxford… Whatever they’re called, we like.
luxe plants
This amazing terrarium has so little to do with my actual life which might be exactly why I am so attracted to it. I mean, I can barely keep a tomato plant alive. Still these awesome minimalist terrariums make me long for an environment in which to display and admire such artistic creations. Until that day, I will continue love my dusty fig tree.
