2013! It's been awhile....

So it's been a while since we've have posted. Since it's a new year, we'll give "The Speed of Life" a new beginning.  We're gonna start slow and we'll try to post everyday with our musings about NYC and living in Manhattan.

First up, it's Friday and we'll off to an early start... 
So we need some filling and warm food for this windy Friday Morning.
We made Grits. I know it's a southern thing but in NYC it's a fast, economical and decadent thing.  It was so easy and so savory for a creamy treat!

We had Grits, Applegate Cheddar Cheese and an avocado.  Boil 1 cup of water for every 1/4 cup of grits.  (1/4 cup of grits serves 2 bowls of grits).  When the water is boiling, pour in grits while stirring.   Lower stove to medium low and keep stirring till it thickens.  But just as it thickens we added 1 slice of cheddar cheese and stir till completely melted into the grits.  Waa la! It's done.  Add salt (we're fancy, so we added kosher or sea salt) and if you like Paprika to taste.  We sliced a avocado and used it to dip and eat with our grits.

Hmmmm so warm and filling on this cold winter day. 

Labor Day Special

It's Labor Day again. Time for the end to summer heat and for the kids to head back to school (or, as my wife calls it, "the most wonderful time of the year"). We've got a nice sale on those back to school supplies that you've known you needed, but did not buy all summer long. I've still got to pick mine up!

For those of you who are spending this weekend in the city, either because you are saving some cash or because your Hamptons house is recovering from Irene, we're running a new special for this weekend only. If you want to stock up a bit, you can get $25 off your orders over $200 (plus free delivery, of course). Don't forget to use the coupon code LABORDAY to get the discount.

Not only is this a nice savings to get and gives you a good deal, but I always enjoy seeing if we really can pick, pack, verify, deliver $500 worth of groceries to someone in under 60 minutes. We always manage to do it, but it always amazes me when we do.

Have a happy Labor Day everyone and welcome to the most wonderful time of the year.
