My addiction to Food Network goes to another level: a subscription to their magazine.

以前在南加時就很喜歡 Popeye's 的炸雞，和裹粉炸的脆薯一起更是絕配。

前兩天無意中在工作地點附近發現一家，

二話不說便買了到實驗室吃。

僅僅是兩塊炸雞配上脆薯和比司吉就滿滿一大盒，

花了我 40 分鐘才吃完。

不過吃完之後很滿足



I used to have Popeye's fried chicken quite often back in So Cal. Their Cajun fries are the best.

I happened to find that there's a Popeye's near where I work the other day.

With no second thoughts, I brought a two-piece combo with fries and biscuit to the lab.

That was indeed a lot of food for lunch. It took me 40 minutes to finish.

I almost skipped dinner.

Godiva 櫥窗的廣告。巧克力做成這樣很難讓人不想買吧。

還好經過這家店時沒開。



A window ad from Godiva. It's not easy not to be tempted when chocolate bars are made like these.

I'm glad the store was not open when this picture was taken.

前幾天經過 Bryant Park，看到佔滿大部份區域的白色帳篷大概就知道是怎麼回事了。

是 New York Fashion Week。

許多在門口拿著相機四處張望，可能在等什麼名人出現吧。



Walked by Bryant Park. The well-known white tents took over most of the place.

It's the New York Fashion Week.

Lots of people were at the main entrance, maybe waiting for Heidi Klum to show up.

It's just not for me.

上週末美東暴風雪肆虐，所幸在移動到 Tri state 地區以前就出海了。

相隔才三天的另一波風雪
就躲不掉了，

從星期三一大早便一口氣下雪到晚上。

較南邊的 Washington DC 地區，還沒從上一場大雪中恢復，想必又是另一場惡夢。



While millions of people in the Washington DC area are still trying to recover from the blizzard last weekend, another big one just hit yesterday. We were lucky enough to escape from the first, but the second one was just not avoidable. The snow started in early morning, and persisted all day and all evening.

本週大黃瓜特價三條 $2。不過好像沒有便宜多少?



Cucumbers are on sale, 3 for $2. It doesn't seem to be that great a deal, does it?

這個週末美東難得的大雪，使得許多區域都深埋於以呎來計的雪中。

所幸紐約市區剛好在暴風的邊緣，只飄了一點雪，連路面積雪都稱不上。



照片是幾天前早上飄雪時拍的，樹枝上沾點白色雪花時還蠻美的。

星期六下午有空，趁天黑之前去了一趟紀伊國屋書店 (Books Kinokuniya
)。

紀伊國屋就在著名的 Bryant Park 的旁邊，距離 Time Square 也只有五分鐘的步行距離，

算是非常好的地段。







紀伊國屋的櫥窗。

書店總共有三層樓，一樓是日文雜誌和英文書，地下一樓專賣日文書籍，二樓則是藝術類書籍和漫畫。

此外二樓還有一小間麵包店可以休息聊天。



雖然這間紀伊國屋的規模完全不能和日本或台灣的相比，

但對於在紐約的日本人或喜歡日本新書的讀者來說，

這裡會是讓人興奮、不可多得的好地方。



唯一讓人覺得不親近的是價錢，

一本書幾乎是定價的 1.5 倍，如果不是很喜歡還真的買不下手...

從我住的地方往郵局的路上，有一段路 (91街介於第二和第三大道) 是車輛不能進入的。

從步道的一頭往另一頭看還蠻漂亮。

唯一的缺點是這條路是上坡...
