I've been on a loaf-making kick: banana-walnut, and hazelnut, specifically. I don't share these loafs with anyone, and eat an entire pan over the course of a week's breakfasts. To feel like less of a land mammal, I've replaced white flour with whole wheat flour, and white sugar with organic evaporated cane sugar. Throw in organic butter for good measure. It still tastes amazing, but the calories and fat don't count, because they are organic calories and fat. (And everyone knows that being an organic-few pounds overweight is way sexier than like, Popeye's fat.)
And in burger news: Shake Shack is coming to Nolita! This spring, corner of Mulberry and Prince. I keep walking past the tiny vacant lot and picturing what's to come, my eyes turning to giant, flashing cartoon hamburgers.
