Okay, that sounds delicious! A tomato pesto salad would be good too. I just learned some chefs' secret for grilled cheese sandwiches...spread mayo on the bread before you toast it instead of butter.

It's not on the market yet but we plan on listing it once we find a place we want to buy. It's not a great time to be doing this, the housing market is red hot and the condo market is cold but we're ready to have more space and a yard. I can't wait to be able to charge my EV at home.

You were lucky to have room to grow things in Brooklyn! What part did you live in? We spent a ton of time in Brooklyn in various Airbnbs when we were working on that streaming series (2016-2018). I was staying mostly in Williamsburg. It was still very nice back then. It seems like a lot changed there for the worse after Covid.

I was long gone before you were there, moved out of Sunset Park in 2001, just before the false flag in September. My businesses were in Park Slope, where I still own a brownstone with 6 apartments and a store. There's a huge backyard there, 22 feet by 60, which we never did anything with because it was behind our take out catering facility. It was in deep shade because of a mulberry in the next yard so little would grow.

Our home was a gorgeous brownstone in Sunset Park, with the perfect size yard for a young mother who like to grow flowers. I had a tiny yard, just big enough for a kiddie pool and few kids splashing around in it. I loved that house. One of my biggest regrets is selling it, but the parking was too difficult for that same mother of three. I hated it then, but I could sure live there now, or at least have an apartment to use for visits. Oh well.

Good luck! Things seem to fall into place for me when it's the right time. I'm sure they will for you, too.

One of the guys in our writing room lived near Park Slope. How awesome that you still own a building! The brownstone sounds ideal. Before the city changed that was my dream, to live in one of those brownstones. I think it'll come back around but I'm not sure how long it'll take.

Thank you! I feel the same way, when it's meant to be, it will be. Maybe I'll have a garden by next summer. : )
