ART - STORM KING ART CENTER

Storm King Art Center is a huge, amazing, outdoors sculpture park about an hour upstate from NYC.  I have been thinking about making the trip up there since I first heard about it more than a few years ago at an NYU Art History class.  Finally, my boyfriend and I decided to make the drive, and it was totally worth it!  Experiencing art at Storm King is such a different experience than viewing paintings 5 feet apart from each other with 100 other museum goers.  It's peaceful, quiet, and extremely enjoyable!  I would recommend bringing a picnic and some snacks, we brought a bunch of spam musubis (don't judge, I grew up in Hawaii) and fruit snacks!

Here's a few snaps from our trip.

FOOD - BUTTER MOCHI

Have you ever had mochi before? Pinkberry and froyo places serve bite sized pieces, this one is better and buttery!  I have found that people either love or hate the texture, its kind of gooey and chewy.

What you will need: 
2 cups mochiko (you can find this at any Asian market)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 block melted butter
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla

How to make Butter Mochi:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Mix the wet ingredients together.  Add in the dry ingredients.  Pour mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan.  Bake for an hour or until a golden brown.

Enjoy!
