Broccoli Fractal Moment

Posted by Greg T. on October 21st, 2008 in Food

Romanesco broccoli from the Union Square green market.  The taste was somewhere around broccoflower but with a really nice texture…less stringy than broccoli, more fun to eat. Some affectionately call this “fractal broccoli” as it follows an approximate logarithmic spiral.

I bought a bunch of bananas from the friendly fruit cart guy near the Astor Kmart. I leave them on my desk at work.  First they attract senior management.  Then they attract fruit flies.

They have lots of potassium.

Summer is officially now over.  Today I felt cold. That’s how you know.

Mmmm. Apple Pancake.

Went to Moto with a few food blogger friends. They have a wondrous baked apple pancake topped with creme fraiche. It’s more of an awesome buttery skillet cake than a pankcake. They also have a great date cake.

Here’s Couric setting up some pins for Palin and Paling not even able to tie her bowling shoes.
