so friday after about a year and a half, i finally got to meet my good stalker, Lee, in person.... that was the highlight of my weekend... (for a while i felt he'd forgotten all about me and i thought i'd have to read this)
the other highlight was the 9th avenue international food festival.... 20... TWENTY blocks of food... glorious food!


did have 12 pierogies (okay i only ate, like, 8 of them) -
one of the world's most perfect foods...

corn dogs - skipped 'em this year...

ah.... the little pie company... (and cakes...)
it's almost like stepping into a wayne thiebaud painting

lobstah anyone?

blurry octopi, anyone? (eh, wasn't very hungry after seeing that)

ah... roasted corn... much better...

ah yes... large containers of uncovered seafood
sitting in the open air for hours on the street...

and what food festival would be complete without the King of Food Festivals....
the sausage and pepper stand!!!!!
