Welcome to My Picky Mother

Hi!  My son, Adam, suggested that I write a blog that critiques the restaurants where we have dined in our home borough of Brooklyn. On weekends, I usually search the New York Times restaurant reviews to get our pick, usually for lunch, but occasionally for dinner (when Adam has no other plans). After a meal, he asks, “Is this a repeat?” to which I usually say, no. Rarely is it a yes. So, who am I to be so picky? I have lived for more than three quarters of a century and eaten my fair share of meals. I have gone from a strict kosher macrobiotic diet to enjoying the flavors and tastes of the whole world (as much as are available to me). I love to cook and bake, and most of the time the food is delicious, although to be honest, sometimes not. So, on this blog, I want to share only the restaurants where you will feel that your meal was worth every penny, since eating out can be costly. Also, following the NYT’s reviews, or just being pleasantly surprised by a friend’s recommendation, there will be positive critiques of restaurants in other boroughs. And as a bonus, I would like to share my most favorite no-fail recipes.

PS: In advance, I apologize for a lack of pictures of the food we enjoyed in my early blogs. I will try to overcome my shyness at taking photos and will post more.
