After a long hard day of Lil' Parkies, cooking, cleaning and Violin lessons in midtown we realized we missed the Food Day tweets. Activities around the USA were organized today from fall festivals to movie screenings. Today was the launch of the new website NYC FOOD.

We are exhausted but came home to whip up some wholegrain pasta with corner on the cobbs and homemade tomato sauce that we all sat and ate together at the nook. Apple slices for dessert. Mmmmmmmm good.
