It wasn’t even 11am, but saw a craft brewery sign so we checked it out. They didn’t have a problem serving us that early. Their stout was great and the sloth branding wasn’t bad either. They’re @colorsbrewing on Instagram and they’re in Bijagua in Alajuela Province Costa Rica 🇨🇷 #ciaheartscostarica

I made ceviche with the local Corvina fish here in Costa Rica. There’s cucumber, red and yellow onions, and scallions under there with a whole lot of lime juice #ciaheartscostarica

Made dinner for 6 people tonight: red snappers pictured here; not pictured are bucatini with artichokes in butter lemon sauce and baked yucca in garlic and olive oil

How’s New York City/Jersey City going? I’m doing GREAT.

Woke up at 4:15am and went to Newark Airport when it was 11F/-11C; landed in Liberia, Costa Rica 🇨🇷 where it was 90F/32C. First stop was for fried fish and then a detour to a waterfall. #ciaheartscostarica

I baked some sesame scallion buns while it continued to snow outside here in Jersey City, NJ. They’re
excellent with chili oil! #ciacooksjerseycity

@customeradvocate.bsky.social because you’re the only one who could be timely and responsive, can you please have them salt and shovel the Garfield Avenue Light Rail station? We have ramps here that elderly neighbors use. Thank you!

It’s been snowing for about 5 hours here in Jersey City, NJ. It’s so pretty outside 😚😚😚

I gloat whenever Jeopardy! contestants don’t know the question to a food answer.

“What is porterhouse?” The cut of beef Peter Luger is known for.

There’s a Tashkent Supermarket (from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn) on Waverly Place/6th Avenue now in the West Village and the buffet choices will drive you nuts! They have a kazan with Uzbek plov with beef; we gave ourselves geography and history lessons while we enjoyed it. #ciaeatsnyc

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social My invite to join me during rush hour weekday commute is still open! This was at 8:44am PATH train at Exchange Place in Jersey City, NJ on a Thursday morning. #njtransit

Gulp’s Taiwanese pork chop with tea eggs set is always a great meal after 45-minutes of Pilates and 1 hour of power yoga! #ciaeatsjerseycity

Not pretty here, but a great salad from Genevieve Ko at NYT Cooking: salmon, farro, radicchio, cucumbers, dill. I pan-fried the salmon skin as topping #ciacooksjerseycity

The 9:14am Light Rail to Tonnelle just skipped Garfield Avenue. Trains are already running late? It’s Monday rush hour. @customeradvocate.bsky.social

Baked (not fried) chicken (thighs not breasts) parm; looks like I can feed more than 2 us #ciacooksjerseycity

I don’t have other social media accounts anymore but I wonder if there’s anyone in Bluesky based out of Jersey City who would buy a never-really-sat-on swivel chair for $400? I’m selling because I’m never in my home office anymore due to RTO.

A sure way to prove my holiday staycation was the best: forget your work laptop password on the first day back in the office and require IT to reset

Book no.1 of 2026: “I Who Have Never Known Men” by Jacqueline Harpman. The copy was gifted to me last month; so far, it reads like “1984” and I like how I have no idea where it will go. #ciaheartsbooks #booksky 💙📚
