Scenes From a Hurricane

We got very lucky here in the Upper West Side. I previously lived on Avenue C and 16th St, right across from the Con Ed generator that blew. Apparently that neighborhood is underwater and it makes me so sad. My family in NJ is without power and it likely won’t be back for days. A friend’s house near Atlantic City may have been destroyed.

Here in the UWS we have power and bagels. There are a few downed trees but no serious damage from what I can see. I’ve offered up my shower and electricity to friends who have had much worse luck below 39th St — assuming they can even get up here.

School is closed again today so I’ll be trying my best to stay focused and catch up on work. I’m planning to go for a run in Riverside later to survey the damage there and see how high the Hudson is today.

Sending my love to those who were much harder hit. If I could send you a carrier pigeon of bagels, I would!

There are free cheese samples today. A lady has been hovering around them for the whole 5 minutes I was waiting for my order.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I side eyed her so ugly she moved to the free sausage samples.

Kimchi and Scrambled Eggs Sandwich

2 Eggs
2 Tbsp Whole Milk
1/4 cup Kimchi
1 Tbsp Mayonnaise (optional)
1/4 cup Arugula
1 Roll, sliced (I used a deli roll, but brioche would be preferable…)
1/2 Tbsp Butter
Salt & Pepper

Preheat oven to 350 and toast roll slightly. Crack eggs into a small bowl and whisk until a pale yellow. Add milk and whisk until incorporated. While you’re doing this, melt butter in a saute pan on low/medium heat. Once melted, add eggs to pan. Allow to set slightly before stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Continue to turn until eggs are cooked but not overdone. Spread mayo onto each side of the rolls. Pile eggs on the bottom half of the roll, followed by the kimchi, arugula and top half of the roll. Serve hot.

Hurricane Sandy was a bit gentler on the area of Greenpoint that I live in than other parts of the neighborhood. I took a long walk along the waterfront this morning where thankfully things didn’t look too bad, though I’m sure there are businesses and apartments that are in worse shape nearby. While standing at the end of India looking out towards Manhattan, staring at thousands of apartments without water or power and a car-less FDR, a stranger remarked that it was “sort of anti-climatic.” Wanted to slap him. Sandy wreaked havoc on so many people and communities up and down the coast, I feel very fortunate that last night I was able to tell my worried family and friends that I was safe and going to sleep in a warm bed. I’m still wrapping my head around the impact this has had/will have. Hope you’re all safe too, you’re on my mind. xo
