Sometimes it’s nice to have a sandwich for dinner. There’s a feeling of simplicity to it. There’s an even greater feeling of ease to if, if you’re using leftovers to start.

Everyone had been told to batten down the hatches, so we did. Buying a whopping two days worth of dinners and lunches at once. Persephone is a daily grocery shopper.

It’s where you can pick up really fresh sushi, and carefully crafted bento… Read More Braised Brisket Part Deux | Beef Siomai, Daikon Salad
