marbled tea eggs

i had trouble sleeping last night and felt queasy in the morning, so we skipped our short 4miler race at central park in the morning (thank you, hubby, for understanding). but since we were up, we went for a short run on the west side highway, and finished up with some stretching at the gym and a delicious breakfast at sullivan street bakery, which i think is quickly becoming our neighborhood go-to spot on the weekends. 

located smack dab in between our apartment and the west side highway, sullivan street bakery has a casual ambiance, and most importantly, delicious breads and tasty and relatively healthy breakfast+lunch menu options. best of all, it's not on any "top places to brunch" lists in the city so you don't have hoards of trendy brunchsetters. you can see them baking the breads in the corner of the bakery, and i've been told their bombolonis are delicious so looking forward to trying it next time!


in the afternoon, we relaxed to gershwin and a few episodes of family guys, and took our time preparing dinner. i made 茶叶蛋 (chinese marbled tea eggs) for the first time, and it is surprisingly simple to make. requiring preparation time of just 10 minutes, and cooking time of 45 minutes (longer if you want to steep the eggs for more flavor and color), this is a dish i will definitely be preparing often in the future. 




kevin made a tasty pork-jalapeno-vermicelli dish and not pictured below is the wild-caught cod marinated in shio koji.
