Completely forgot to post about my scrumptious brunch at Montmartre on Saturday. It was amazing. I had the chicken with biscuit and soft scramble, which came topped with this incredible chili oil sauce. Louisa had an omelet with fried oysters, and Nick had Oeufs Careme, with smoked salmon and deliciousness.
A special shout out for their delicious, spicy bloody Marys with beers back. So good. (And the garden is gorgeous.)
Peach, tomato and basil soup is a success. Nom nom nom.

New Study Shows Hillary Clinton’s Face Makes Women More Confident
Tess VandenDolder Apr 25th at 1:07 pm
In the study individual men and women were asked to give a speech in front of a panel of six strangers. For some there was a picture of Bill Clinton on the back wall and for others there was a picture of Hillary. Overall the men spoke longer and were judged as better speakers than the women, except for the group of ladies who spoke while looking into Hillary’s baby blues. That group blew the men out of the water as far as the length of their speeches and overall confidence and success in conveying their ideas publicly.
The conclusion researchers drew from this study was that when women are exposed to powerful female role models in leadership positions they gained instant boosts in confidence and the ability to achieve at high levels. ”Female political role models can inspire women and help them cope with stressful situations that they encounter in their careers, such as public speaking,” the authors of the study wrote. ”A lack of female powerful role models leads to a vicious circle, because if women fail to take leadership positions, they also fail to provide role models for junior women to follow.”

Wow.
Ugh my heart
Honestly, the Sally storyline is hitting way too close to home for me these days. My heart breaks for her.

Ladies’ lunch at Lafayette today. Charcuterie board, frisée aux lardons, beet salad, strawberry délice, and plum and almond tart. Also rosé and a French 75. Oh yes.

Remember this in November.
Democrats/women/liberals did not vote in high numbers in 2010 and that handed the House and many of the state level positions to these Republican assholes. If we do not turn out in force this year, it will get even worse.

Honestly, Ken’s novel is pretty much writing itself, isn’t it?

If there’s one thing I know about myself, it’s that I can do anything for three days. Seriously. I gave up carbs for like a year. I can do that. And it might be just what I need to kick start my discipline back into practice…

Thinking about a juice cleanse. Am I nuts?
Vacation home for the mind behind Queenie Takes Manhattan. A place to relax, sit back and let it all hang out.
Food, design, politics, feminism and booze. A heady cocktail.
I’m currently reading Rosemary’s Baby for the first time
and I just read...
