First, a Sandy update. As you may know we are located on the Williamsburg waterfront, and this week Hurricane Sandy hit very hard. On Monday evening we lost power and watched the water rise slowly outside our window. The sky went completely black as we saw the downtown skyline simply turn off, like a switch- it was crazy. The boardwalk below our window was submerged and our building experienced some flooding. But in the end we were ok. My thoughts go out to those were not as fortunate. Last night I tucked Sophia in and thought of how lucky we are and how precious life can be.
Today is an awkward transition back into things – I’ve gotten a late start but Happy Halloween. And below is a recipe for a pumpkin creme brulée which I created for Joanna’s Blog, Cup of Jo. It is “the best Crème Brûlée you’ll ever have…”
And if you’d like a first hand lesson, sign up for our holiday Sunday Supper on Nov 11th – only a few tickets left !

I’m glad you guys came through in one piece; we had similar flooding in my building, but we were still awfully lucky all things considered.
That brulee looks spectacular. I am going to have to try that!
