It’s beautiful out this afternoon and I’d give just about anything to be one of these ladies lunching at a little sidewalk cafe. Oh, and to be in Paris. In the 1920s.
Okay, I think that’s it.

Not as if a lot of us need a great reason to toss one back, but 360 Vodka is giving us one anyway. The eco luxury vodka is crafted from a philosophy of eco-awareness and corporate responsibility. These ideas are then brought to fruition through their greener processes and products. During just the labeling process the company saves 113 grown trees, 48,371 gallons of water and 5,409 pounds of solid waste. The bottles are even 85% recycled glass. From the looks of it all you’d never guess what sort of liquid was floating around inside!

I hate feeling munchy, but that’s exactly the kind of day it is. And as good as these Vanilla Sugar Sweet Buns look, I’m glad they aren’t in front of me because they wouldn’t stand a chance!

I fired up the grill for the first time of the season last night, in the midst of a thunderstorm no less. Nothing fancy – just some honey dijon chicken for salads – but that time of year has definitely arrived. I’d love to own a set of these folding grill tools. They’re completely collapsable with folding pakkawood handles.

With the weather warm again, I’m excited to start trying some frozen drinks! This Pear Cachaça Slushy tops my list at the moment. Add “slushy” onto anything and I’m a taker! A pitcher of these would be perfection for a lazy afternoon by the pool.

The Famous Chocolate Wafer Icebox Cake looks like equal parts fun to build, easy to make and mouthwateringly delicious.

Some people are just born with that certain knack for guessing how much pasta to make. I am not one of the blessed and time after time end up with either too much or too little. I’ve seen those nifty little kitchen gadgets geared towards helping you measure portion sizes, but the SL16 Nooodle is so much better! And after you’re done cooking your pasta it doubles as a trivet. Love that it looks like a big wet noodle itself, too.

Posted In grand design, kitchenStop by friend Mike’s blog – no more fwds – and check out his interview with the amazing papertoy artist Marshall Alexander. Oh yeah, and that Badass header? All moi.
I’m loving the muted tones, attention to detail and subject matter of illustrator Matthew Woodson’s work. Check out his extensive portfolio here.
