well done, ladies.

Olivia set the bar high on this one.

Julia Stone. 

Well, she just nailed it.

I applaude you both.

saturday sangria

When at dinner recently, I became somewhat obsessed with Sangria. Not that I've never enjoyed it, because I have, trust me...
 just not so much until now.

Naturally, tonight demanded that I give em a shot.

This was a first for me and to be honest, it had me a tad bit nervous given the surplus of recipes found to exist.

I chose the simpleist 5 ingredient recipe for this 
mid-summers night drank. 

{Ahhhhhhh....}

{Shit's good y'all} 

3 parts Spanish Merlot

1 part Orange Juice

1 part Apricot Brandy

1 lemon

1 lime

2 oranges

listen.

BCS

{Spoon}

An old friend introduced me to Spoon many years ago.

And for that, I am thankful.

AMEN

{ha...}

{ha.}

summer munchies

It's toasty outside, finally.  

And while its getting warmer, I often crave dishes on the lighter, fresher side.

Last night's dinner and today's lunch. Yummo.

Asparagus, Kale and Tomato Pasta

 

• Asparagus, cherry tomatoes and kale
• Garlic; the more the better
• freshly grated parmigiano reggiano
• whole wheat pasta

 

Buffalo Mozzarella & Tomato on a Baguette

 

Olive oil, sea salt and pepper to taste.


(A special thanks to my dear friend, AJS, for the inspiration)

To shave or not to shave

Since I could remember, I've always craved going short, very short.

Britt did it. My girl Natalie Portman did it. Even Demi did it.

And, they all rocked the hell out of it. So why can't I, I say. Why can't I...
