Sometimes the best way to prepare any main ingredient is to go the simple route. Bare bones with just a little something extra. Like these grilled peaches with bourbon vanilla whipped cream perhaps.

I want a Bistro Table. And I want to set it in my entry way as a mini bar! (I don’t care whether it’s the double top or the rolling either.) How swell would it be to have a guest show up at your home, walk in the door and you offer them a cocktail? Super swell I’m thinking.

Posted In furniture, house and homeI was only recently introduced to Lee Jenkins and his beautiful photography. What took hold of me most is how seamlessly he seems to transition between portraits, fashion and advertising. It seems he can’t miss the target. Second I noticed how effortless and gorgeous he makes all of his “stunt” photography appear. Check it out for yourself.

Amy Smyth of Amy Smyth Made It is a lady after my own heart. She’s got attitude. She loves design. And she’s got a knack for combining the two. Not to mention she’s an awesome illustrator. What else can I say – Amy’s the entire creative package. Check out her extensive line of paper goods here.
I learned a lot about daiquiris from the post on this recipe for the La Floridita Daiquiri. Authentic daiquiris are not those neon-hued frozen concoction you find running rampant at resorts. In fact, they don’t even have to be frozen! All of which is a huge relief to me because I’ve never been a fan, but now I can say my opinion has done a 180º.
Ingredients:
– 2 oz Cuban light rum*
– juice of half a lime
– 1 tsp maraschino liqueur
– 1 tsp sugar or simple syrup
Blend just until mixed with three-to-four cubes worth of crushed ice. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry. Or, for an unfrozen option, shake vigorously over ice until well chilled.
*For those of us who don’t have or have access to procure contraband Havana Club, Puerto Rican or Dominican light rum (like Brugal) is an acceptable substitute.

Peach pound cake that looks like it would melt in your mouth. Plus a simple caramel glaze that’s bound to make everything in comes in contact with tastier.
