Monday night, Memorial Day and my birthday, Mrs. Z and I went to a restaurant that a lot of people have been talking about……L’artusi

228 West 10th Street (Between Bleecker and Hudson) New York, NY 10014

Phone Number: 212-255-5757

The minute we walked into the joint, I knew I had been in this location before. It used be call Tangerine, and I know I had way too many cocktails there on more than one occasion.

We really had a lovely time. We had a great Italian White called Blanc De Morgex Et De La Salle. It was in a very cool bottle that looked like an Olive oil bottle.

Their raw fish is amazing, including the Fluke.

Their pasta dishes and desserts were spot on too.

The place is not cheap, so bring a lot of cash and enjoy!

My mother in law has been living with us for over two years. Some people look at my and roll their eyes and ask me if I am crazy. Well, first of all my wife negotiated this deal ten years ago, so when it finally happened, it was smooth as silk. My mother in law has added so much fabric and layers to our warm and loving home.

Not only does she always make me laugh, but boy can she cook. One of my favorite dishes she makes is Sopa de Hueso. It is common in many Latin American countries and this is her version, with a little twist from me. Listen to this song, while you are getting your soup on………..

My favorite request from her when I asked her for the recipe was, “Please arrange this recipe in your professional way.” Would I do it any other way?

Ingredients

• 5 pounds Beef neck bones or oxtails, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 1 bunch of fresh coriander
• 1 whole onion medium-cut into quarters.
• Beef stock (optional)- 2 ounces
• 1 head of white Cabbage cut into 3 inch wedges
• 5 ears of Corn on a cob, cut into halves
• 1 pound Yuca- (to make things easy, buy the pre-cooked frozen product)
• 1 pound String beans

Method

• Simmer the bones, coriander and onion at least an hour
• After the hour, remove the onion and coriander from the broth
• Add vegetables and cook until tender
• Season with crushed red peppers, sea salt, cracked black pepper and a wedge of lemon.
