The Daily Eat: Blackberry Mousse with Crushed Almond Praline.


This recipe for Blackberry Mousse with Crushed Almond Praline is currently residing at the very tippy top of my To Make recipe list. That’s why I saved it for last (you know how the saying goes). It looks perfectly light and fluffy and punctuated by the slight crunch of the almond praline. I’m actually salivating as I type this. Maybe a not so subtle hint that I should plan on making it this weekend?

Paper Heart.

Paper Heart is a movie about a documentary about a girl who doesn’t believe in love. Got it? In theaters this August. Conveniently that’s just around when I’ll need my next Michael Cera fix.

molly m designs.

I’m in mad love with the laser cut jewelry of molly m designs. Good back story: she’s trained as an architect and after using laser cutting to make architectural models realized it’s potential for jewelry as well. All of Molly’s designs start with a sketch, then are drafted in AutoCAD before being printed on the laser cutter. When possible all of her jewelry is made from sustainable materials. Maybe a little Happy Earth Week is in order for yourself, no? I’m especially partial to her earrings…

Green with Envy.

This is quite possibly one of the very first photos of a room I saved. The high-back, low-riding green velvet chair is my favorite and never fails to catch my eye when I’m scanning my image folder. The raised and detailed tray ceiling, extra tall doors and luminous lime drapes just put the icing on the cake. And is that an ultra slim grandfather clock I spy between the windows? I think it is.

Paper + Cup Labels.

I moved into my house nine months ago and have yet to get anything printed with my return address. That’s right, every single thing that goes out in the mail gets a handwritten addy in the upper left corner and it need to come to an end! I’ve been weighing the virtues of labels versus a stamp and just can’t decide. But I do know that a set of these labels from Paper + Cup would be kickarse for sending out greeting cards and invitations. Now if I could only decide between these three… but I’m leaning towards the first.




PS: Yes, yes photos of my house are in the works for posting. I just have that feeling that I want every single thing in it’s place before I show anything. But everyone knows that’s not how life works, so I need to just bite the bullet and get on with it already!

PPS: And yes, sort of contradictory to post about paper after ranting about Earth Day, but you know how it goes…
