Flea Market Finds

Because we had so much fun looking at the junky treasures of the Chelsea Antique Flea Market, we decided that today we'd go explore the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market which is pretty close to our hotel.  Their Web site makes it look like a fairly organized affair so we were expecting a fun time. Hell's Kitchen is a pretty shabby area that I often see referred to as a wasteland.  Some of the buildings there are pretty cool, though...But guess what? We never found the flea market!  Maybe it just wasn't happening this weekend, I hope it's not gone for good!

Pat didn't bring enough cables to find out if our treasure from the first flea market is in working condition, so we then took a train to the Guitar Center in Union Square to find out...

Will it work?

The helpful associate at Guitar Center plugged in the pedal, plugged in a bass and turned on an amp...and...the pedal worked!  And it sounds hilarious, I might add. The last one on e-bay sold for $122.50 so we could make about $70 profit.  Then, we could almost afford one burger from the steakhouse in Chelsea we want to go to.

Also today, while cleaning out our fridge, I was reminded of a gift from the second Martha taping that I forgot to blog about...

I'm not sure what it is, but she used it on the show when she made some sort of extravagant steak thing.  When she said everyone in the audience is getting this, we were all less than thrilled...who the heck uses this?  This got stuffed in the back of our freezer right away, what are we going to do?  Pour it over our mac and cheese?  The ingredients are tempting, though...
