As any awesome person knows, the world's best* flavor combo is chocolate and peanut butter...she says as she stuffs another Reese's Cup in her mouth.
Hey, whatever gets a girl through the day, right?

The post on NYC's Sweet Revenge makes that trip to the Empire State all the more appealing...

Hm, I should probably post about Austin. It's cool. It's hot. It's Texas.


*Runner up: mayo and cheese. Yeah, I said it.

apron chic

I'd love a nice apron, but the ones I come across in stores are too extreme for me - either boring and masculine (come on, I do like to pretend to have a waist, you know), or are so cutesy and frilly they could never be machine washed (impractical to the max).

But the gals behind these Smocks know the score - and I want one. Maybe Agnyss, Alice, or Julia. I wish the Aimee was still in stock...

I'd look so cute grilling on our porch, humming along with the klezmer music streaming through the trees from next door. Or on a chilly day, inside making these. Mmmm.

Comedy Tuesday presents...

Snark Attack. Tee hee! Look at that smug grin. Snarky Shark want's you to...

Look at my expensive gadget!

Heh heh heh.

Oh come on, I know it's mean, that's what makes it a SNARK ATTACK!

Grill baby grill

We have a grill!

This weekend's pleasant abundance of barbecued delicacies inspired us on our way back from Portland (did I mention I went to Portland? I went to Portland.) and we stopped at a Lowe's to check out our options. We ended up picking out a nice portable charcoal grill on a semi-collapsible stand instead of a tiny table-top version, and set it up Tuesday evening for the inaugural grill. On the menu? Cumin and olive oil cauliflower kababs and salmon, with spinach cous cous on the side. It'll take a bit of finagling to figure out how to get the temperature up faster, but even if I have to wait 45 minutes for salmon again it was totally worth it. I'll just be sure not to skewer my fingertips next time on any goll-durned cauliflower.

Tomorrow we leave for Philadephia and the Devon Horse Show. Now where did I put my jodhpurs...

Omg it's Stimpy! Oddly enough, not a cat...

carnie folk

Hm. Now I'm really excited for the fair.

Suppose I'll just have to eat cotton candy all weekend and pretend to use tickets to do all of my everyday activities (7 tickets for the Laundry Machine? No way! I'm going back to the Hoegaarden Funhouse!)

Holy toledo!

My Thursday night was FUN and vino-themed... perhaps overindulgent but oh well.

Next weekend I'm off with the boyfriend to Philadelphia for the Devon Horse Show and a birthday (not mine) celebration. I've been told there will be food involved, so it ought to be good. Country fairs are absolutely my favorite thing EVER - fried or sugary concoctions (if I'm lucky fried AND sugary concoctions) and ferris wheels and pretty/stink animals... doesn't get any better than that! And the weekend after that I'm off to Austin for my cousin's wedding, which will be great since I haven't seen him since I was, oh, I dunno, ten?

Two cities I've never visited in two weeks! Weee!

And a three day weekend ahead of me makes this afternoon soooo glorious. Especially the promise of seeing a newly betrothed favorite MA native!!!!!

All in all, there will probably be more overindulgence, but that's okay. Summer's just about here!
