My Chef friend Kayla ran a supper club on our roof last night. Incredible food, and lovely company. No notes.

A group of people seated around a table on a rooftop under a cloudy sky, with one person standing and speaking. String lights decorate the scene, and city buildings are visible in the background.

A table holds a partially eaten cheese and crackers platter, surrounded by wine glasses and bottles. Guests stand in the background under a cloudy sky, with lights and flowers providing decoration.

A group of individuals gathered around a table adorned with candles, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Follow up food shots from Sunday's supper club.

We started with some fish in a really nice sauce. Don't you wish I remembered anything more specific? Me too.

Then we had slice duck with grilled eggplant with a walnut and pecan sauce. That yellow Swiss cheese cracker looking dude is fried flower oil. Bonkers.

After that, we lightened it up with tamale, cheese, and pickled tomatillo with a unique salsa verde. Almost all the ingredients here are from pre-colonial Mexico.

Finally, we finished with a moist polenta cake with some sort of sweet, tangy jam and this light, sugary cracker cookie that I forget the name of.

Close up of a thick, brown cake, almost zuccini bread looking, with a dark red jam with a fruit that looks like strawberries but isn't. There's a half eaten cookie with some of the jam on it and sugar coating. All on a white plate.

The chefs gave wonderful explanation on each dish, and I can't remember it. Thankfully, the pictures speak for themselves. All these shots were taken by my friend Jenny.

I just saw a man on the subway with a hand gun keychain ornament right next to a pikachu ornament. What a ven diagram.

There’s a billboard on the New Jersey turnpike that just says, “I got hurt in Jersey .com”. And you did. Don’t lie. You know you did .com

I’m thinking of being from the 1970s.
