The ultimate way to make sure no one ever steals your coffee cup again. Why? Well because your portrait is on it of course! House of Harriett handpaints them – cute or kooky, you decide.
Sweet tea and a mojitos are two of my beverages of choice, so surely a Sweet Tea Mojito must taste like little drops of heaven!
Sweet Tea Mojito
Steep 4 or 5 black tea bags, 2 cups turbinado sugar and 2 handfuls of fresh mint in 3 cups simmering water for 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Strain into a pitcher; add the juice of 3 limes, 1 1/2 cups light rum, 1 cup cold water and another handful of mint. Stir vigorously, crushing the mint with a wooden spoon; chill. Serve over ice with lime and more mint.
I can’t wait for the weather to cool down just a little bit more, then I can get out of my Summer Salad Phase and move on to my Comfy Fall Foods Phase. This Red Pepper Risotto is sitting high and mighty atop that list.
Posted In recipesM + E is an extended arm of Michael Fusco Design. Michael Fusco and Emma Staub design and print mostly art you can hang on your walls. I’m semi-obsessed with their Three Square Meals + Dessert series. Love the vivid color choices and blocky type!
It’s nice to see a different take on the popular feather headband trend. Michelle Hartney of Recycled Rings paints watercolor feathers, then transfers them onto fabric for a decidedly more artistic version. And I love that you wouldn’t have to worry about ruining the feather like in the original concept!
When I was a kid green peppers were my very, very favorite pizza topping. They came along with a ritual – eat the peppers, eat the cheese, eat the crust! In that order. Can’t wait to give this Pizza with Red and Yellow Peppers a go. Maybe I’ll even eat it like a normal person.
Posted In recipesI can hardly believe this weekend is Labor Day! Seems like the last few days of summer are zooming past. I put together a little menu full of some few things I’d love to make for a cookout this holiday weekend. Enjoy!
The kiddos can enjoy some (1)Pineapple Mallowade, while we adults sip on (2)Lambic Sangria. A nice raspberry-laced twist on the original. As we relax in the backyard and play some lawn games everyone can munch on some (3)Avocado Salsa and tortilla chips. For dinner a modern take on (4)Broccoli Slaw, crunchy (5)Summer Panzanella, refreshing Korean (6)Sweet and Spicy Cucumbers, juicy (7)Bruschetta Burgers and (8)The Best Baked Beans Ever. And after we digest for awhile and wait for the sun to drop a bit lower in the sky dessert is served: (9)Magic Pudding Dessert for everyone and some *extra special* (10)Cold Comfort Pops for the adults. I don’t know about you, but I sure am full.
I’m 99.9% positive I need this Julia Rothman Forks print. It would look amazing against the dark mossy green walls of my kitchen!
A big thanks to Jennifer of Bits of Beauty for starting today off with another great edition of Word!
{Knocks at door}
Bonjour?
Ugh, how can the store be locked, our appointment was 15 minutes ago.
I have stolen treasures from my rotten ex-boyfriend I must fence and that man across the street is staring at me. I have no idea why, I don’t look suspicious at all. I’m the picture of discretion. Perhaps, he is admiring me. Of course! Look how stylish I am! I’m part Grace Kelly and part Hitchcock heroine. How could that worthless prick possibly cheat on this? Bastard.
It’s ok, I’ll be getting my revenge, if this fool ever opens the door.
God, I have to pee. I do look fabulous though.
