We love it, and we’re sure her boyfriend enjoyed the well-balanced meal of rice, eggs, meatballs, and broccoli more than the undoubtedly chewy fleece version she made him.  We hope she’ll cook for us next time we’re in NY…

Sure, the color scheme is an uncanny coincidence… but Keepon is genuinely excited and showing his local spirit with a Terrible Towel that looks like it’s been in the dryer too long.
