lovepuppy:

noraleah:

Utterly adorable Williamsburg couple renovated their utterly adorable Catskills cottage by hand and with just $10,000. I love the use of mint green throughout:





I am 100% certain that Adam will need 0% convincing to try this on our own.

Obsessed. That Philco fridge is the sweetest.

GPOIW - Gratuitous Pic of an Isserlis Wednesday.
This is Steven, a slightly more prominent trans-Atlantic Isserlis.
The hair always gives us away.

That looks an awful lot like my hair too.  And I’m obsessed with the cello so this makes me happy.

Adam gave me a plant. She is growing. And blooming.
What kind of sweetness gives a potted clematis as a gift?! I love it!

Goodniiiight…one of my longest-standing girl-crushes has started a blog. Katrina Markoff (right up there with Brandi) turns me into a simpering fangirl with her fantasma of chocolate enterprise- Vosges.
Ricotta and Chocolate.
Short Ribs with Chocolate, Licorice and Stout.
I think I might faint.

And I will be supremely embarrassed if she or her publicist find this.

Not all of my cooking-oriented slip-ups happen in the privacy of Wicked Park. No, some are public. And almost fatal. On my birthday a few weeks ago I had the good fortune of being taken on a field trip for my birthday dinner. Molly and I headed to Avondale to try Urban Belly- a most buzzed about Korean haunt with communal seating, duck/foie gras dumplings and a generous BYO policy. It’s my birthday and I get to drink whatever I want?! Kir Royale. That’s what I want. So Mols pulls out a bottle of kirsch and I pull out a bottle of warm bubbly because my birthday doesn’t mean I wasn’t too busy to chill the champers. No matter- they gave us ice and the equivalent of juice glasses.I’ve opened champagne. I’ve even opened champagne with some grace. I have lovely flutes to drink it out of. I’m a class act and it comes with the territory. Nothing says class like warm champagne cocktails over ice in plastic juice cups, n’est ce pas?So I go to open the champagne and I wrap napkins around the top about seven layers deep.  Then I twist and eaaasssyyyy….KABOOOOOOM! Shreds of paper napkin fly like confetti. Cork narrowly misses the head of an adolescent boy in the exact opposite corner of the restaurant. Opa.Everyone was a wonderful sport. Even got some “Happy Birthday” salutations out of it. And the boy bestowed the cork on me with a pride not dissimilar to what I see in HoneyCat’s eyes when she brings me one of my earrings.

la paloma.

yoginiinthehood:

honestly, i’m not much of a drinker anymore, but i do love an expertly-crafted cocktail every now & again. on friday, i was introduced to a magical concoction that just might be my go-to drink this summer: La Paloma. it is a sublime mix of tequila, grapefruit soda, lime, & a dash of salt.
de-lish.

Total AGREE- Squirt for the Win.
