FOOD SKETCH #54: IKEA Swedish Meatballs



It's been an insanely busy summer**, and I've taken a small break from posting here this past month.

But I'm back! I have a bunch of sketches lined up, and am starting off with your typical IKEA fare: swedish meatballs, cream sauce, mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce. From the Red Hook, Brooklyn IKEA.

**I've been training for the NYC marathon. Please visit my donor page here and consider joining me in giving to cancer research. (Also, donors who give $100 or more will receive a limited edition 8x10" screenprint I am designing; more details will be announced on my blog in the coming week).

FOOD SKETCH #52: Levain Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie


The legendary chocolate chip walnut cookie from Levain Bakery, Upper West Side, NYC. It's $4 and feels like it weighs a pound, but it's worth it. Not sure why it took me six years in the city to finally try it.
