No matter how many hours spent at the office (14.5 yesterday) or ailments diagnosed with (mono as of this morning) I will always post The Daily Eat. This is my vow to you, Design Crushers.
This Pear Crumble with Vanilla Brown Butter looks yummy-licious. Pears are underutilized in my kitchen and this gives me a perfect opportunity to remedy that!
I’m kind of in love with David Horvitz. At least the idea of the him on his website where he’ll do different things for you for set prices.
Some examples:
• If you give me $1,626 I will go to the small Okinawan island called Taketomi and send you an envelope filled with star-sand (don’t worry, I’ve been there before, I know where to go). I will send it from there.
• If you give me $3,143 I will for as far away as possible. I live in New York. I will go to Perth, Australia the farthest distance from New York on Earth. I will mail you a photograph of me standing in New York. I will then mail you a photograph of me standing in Perth. I’m a little sad right now and I would kind of like to escape, so if you are thinking about getting one of these and not sure what you want, please take in consideration my emotions and pick this one.
• If you give me $30 I will walk around New York, and the first homeless person I see I will buy him or her whatever he or she wants to eat (as long as it is less than $30). I will mail you back the exact change (minus the paypal fee and the cost of the postage stamp) with the receipt for the food and the name of the person who ate it.
Ever since my first whoopie pie experience I’ve been dying to make some more. When I ran across this recipe for a lemon version I began drooling uncontrollably. You think I’m kidding…
Since I consider myself somewhat of a fortune cookie aficionado, these porcelain versions of the crispy treat caught my eye. They’d look great piled in a bowl as a centerpiece or as place-card holders. Just don’t try to crack one open because there aren’t any actual fortunes inside!
This week has flown by and this weekend I’m looking forward to: • watching the Hornets v. Mavs game tonight with friends • going to the bank tomorrow morning to talk to my mortgage specialist(!) • volunteering at the Festival of the Arts tomorrow afternoon • maybe getting in a little pool time Sunday to decrease my “Pale and Pasty Level” • re-watching Juno • catching up on some much needed rest
Shauna’s entry stated: “I am inspired by people who have abandoned the notion that security will save them. People who seek out experiences and perspectives in order to learn, grow, try, fail, succeed and try again. I am inspired by people who do so with an open and kind heart again and again, no matter the weather.”
Thanks to everyone who entered the latest edition of Win It and congratulations to Shauna! Send me an email with your mailing information and I’ll send off your Inspiration poster next week. Also a BIG thank you to Erin at dfm. If today wasn’t your lucky day, but you’re still jonesing for one of her posters be sure and check out her etsy shop!
I make a mean banana chocolate chip pancake, so this Banana Muffin Bread looks right up my alley. I love that it’s not supposed to be too sweet and that there are chocolate chunks hanging out in there as an added bonus!
