mid-weekend post

here, have a nice break from the stress of everything, and read about what happens when the Avengers have to do the Talk Show Tour...

For NYCers and folk who might be in NYC: a restaurant review:  Today we checked out AG Kitchen for brunch.  They have a lovely space on the UWS (Columbus Avenue off W 72nd) and the menu -American and Latin comfort foods - is limited but highly-praised.

I opted for what is touted as "NYC's Best Cubano Sandwich."   Really? I asked the waiter.  Really, he assured me.

Entirely possibly accurate.  Also, enough for two meals.

Service was friendly and leisurely-in-a-good-way, even as the restaurant started to fill up (David counted 8 strollers parked by the bar - this is definitely a family-friendly restaurant, without ever feeling like it was overrun with small humans).

Recommended, although I advise scouting the menu first if you have anyone who is food-cautious, since the offerings are limited (but very tasty)

That's enough sandwich for four people! Eep...

it's actually a flat, narrow sandwich, although very long - I ate half of it and packed up the rest to take home (and then forgot it at the table, making me very sad)

And that Avengers piece is sheer genius.

She is by far my favorite Avengers fanfiction writer. And I haven't even managed to read everything she's written. Her stories about Tony's bots (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18990) are epic. And Hollow Your Bones Like a Bird's (http://archiveofourown.org/works/632488) is an amazing piece of writing.
