Streetlevel: Adjusting for the Cold Weather

liassoups-1008.jpg
Wishing to be much more than a seasonal business, Lia's Ices, which opened in July at 471 16th Street (near Prospect Park West in Windsor Terrace), is gearing up for the winter. It's becoming a soup joint. A recent selection included chicken noodle, pasta e fagiole, lobster bisque and mulligatawny. Worry not, those who love ice cream in cold weather: gelato's still on the menu, too. GMAP

mulligatawny soup eh? Do they have any of that old Scottish favorite: cock-a-leekie.

DIBS?

ditto...i'm actually 50% Scottish (McLean & Kinary). I've never actually had Cock A Leekie; the soup that is!!!

Additionally, if you've been paying attention I'm more interested in black bean soup, menudo or wonton soup if you get my drift.

Please refrain from the other Chinese soup joke. you know which one I'm talking about.

I think we eat at the same restaurants but chose different items.

Yes, I think I remember you get all hot and bothered by the Brighton beach chica!!!!

I live around the corner and was so excited when I saw the sign had changed. What a good idea! Talk about finding a niche and filling it every season. Haven't tried the soup yet. The hours are hard as I leave home in the morning and usually don't get home until after 9pm but if I were coming off that subway at 6pm without dinner ideas you better believe I'd be souping it up! I hope it's not super expensive. Super expensive soup can be kind of a downer.

Sounds good--it got cold fast.

On a related note, I just gave in and turned my furnace on. I try to wait util Nov. 1, but I seldom make it.

BTW, I've had cock-a-leekie soup AND haggis, even though I have absolutely no Scottish connection :-)

Bob...I'm suffering from a headcold this week so I actually turned mine on as well. I was fearing that I'd get a call all last weekend from my tenants who might be cold and I was away!!

And I put on the flannel sheets. TMI?

Dave,

One of the advantages of a single-family house [and therefore, of Lefferts Manor] is not having to answer to tenants. However, when my wife starts to complain, it's time to clean the filter and get out the oil can. I always hold my breath waiting for the gas to ignite and the fan to start, but the old Lennox beast [ten years old when I bought my house, way back when] hasn't failed me yet.

Bob: I won't weigh in on tenants vs. wives!!! :)

My gas forced air looks to be about 20 years old and works fine. Efficiency??? No idea. I also need to get my ducts in the basement wrapped. Know anybody that will do a small job like that???

I had my crawl space insulated last year by federal Conservation...highly recommend them.

They will have Hale & Hearty soups, which are very good. They will also continue with their approximately 10 homemade gelato flavors.

My furnace is on.

I'm still holding off with our furnace. My reasoning is that I will get used to the cold and won't be so tempted to crank it when it gets really cold. Wish me luck!!!
