The Marvelettes - “Please Mr. Postman”

All I’ve ever wanted in the years I’ve lived in New York City is a bar that exclusively plays Motown music. If you know of this magical place, it is your obligation to tell me about it immediately.

Celine Dion - “That’s The Way It Is”

I just made a playlist on Spotify called “The Ladies” — essentially, a collection of the best songs by women. There’s obviously a whole lot of Celine on there, in addition to treats from Beyonce, Robyn, Mariah, Feist, and more.

Feelings all the feelings in regards to Happy Endings being cancelled. Such an incredibly funny show, such a shame.

Also feeling all the feelings about going to sleep late, and waking up early for a meeting that didn’t happen. So. Tired.

Finally, so far this morning I’ve eaten two slices of quiche, and small bowl of multigrain cheerios, and a latte.

Hi, Monday.

The final piece of the spire at One World Trade Center is lifted into place in New York, May 10, 2013. The tower now rises to a symbolic 1776 feet, making it the tallest building in the western hemisphere. INSIDER IMAGES/Gary He (UNITED STATES)

To license these images and more, click here.

What’s remarkable is that from DUMBO, this building looks to not be that much taller than the others in lower Manhattan. It isn’t until I see photos like this that I realize just how tall it is.

Even more incredible? I have the opportunity to look at it all day from my desk. As I type this I can see the light flashing on the very top of the newly installed spire from my desk.

Operation Make My First Quiche was a huge success! I opted to go for a potato crust since I also had potatoes lying around. This was amazing, I can’t wait to make it again!

Ingredients

2 small-medium yukon gold potatoes
Olive oil
1 bundle of ramps
4 small tomatoes on the vine
1 bunch of asparagus
4 large eggs
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup grated mozarella
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat over to 425. Trim the asparagus and cut the tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast around 15 minutes until cooked through and are, well, delicious. Meanwhile, trim the ramps and clean them. Then dice and sauté in olive oil until fragrant of onion/garlic (maybe 5-7 minutes over low-medium heat).

Using a mandolin, thinly slice the potatoes and arrange in a single layer covering the bottom and sides of the quiche pan. Drizzle with some olive oil and cook in the over for 10-15 minutes (until the potatoes are set).

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, ramps, and salt/pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the potato crust. Place the tomatoes and the asparagus stalks in the pan on top.

Bake the quiche for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set.

Eat all the food.
