You know, if you name a sculpture park a badass name like, STORM KING, people will go.
James and I recently went to Storm King with our good friends, Tom and Pooja. It was such a beautiful day. Too bad New York has become a rainforest since.
(FYI, storm king give discounts to zipcar members!)
We had a picnic in view of the sculptures and drank ice coffee while seeing the exhibits.So fancy.
But the best part?
A plain black wall.
Highly recommended. You can even rent bikes here! Although, I think they have like, three bikes.
Where do I begin?
Oh right, I spent a day in the rain.
At an all-day concert called Governors Ball
There was more mud than you could imagine. It rained all day. Seriously, non-stop. I spent the day cold and wet. There is only so much a rain jacket can do. We heard the music mostly, because umbrellas covered the view and the mud was sucking you into the ground. Eating was impossible (hello rain drenched sandwiches!) and drinking beer meant long lines at the scary dark port-a-potties.
AND James destroyed his new pair of socks.
FUN TIMES at the GOVERNORS BALL.
We're planning on going next year.
In better, drier news, I am getting closer to becoming the ultimate fighting ravioli champion. James and I took another pasta class at Brooklyn Kitchen. They have all sorts of classes, like vietnamese street food, dumpling making, bagel making, and vegetarian dinners.
Our instructor, Kat, was super nice. I think she tried to talk too fast, it was a little confusing at times but in the end, our pasta turned out way better than our first try a few weeks ago. Kat taught us a way to make pasta that was easier and cleaner than the Sur La Table pasta class method.
Take a look at these herbed ricotta raviolis in brown butter sage sauce. Let the drooling commence!
