Happy Weekend.

I’m cutting out of the blogosphere a bit early for the day. Here’s wishing you this kind of weekend.

Identity Crisis.

Everyone questions who they are at some point. Identity Crisis takes a fresh look at the subject of logos by exploring the process of redesigning existing identities. Get an inside look at the challenges of redesigning identities and see the creative and strategic thinking behind the work.

Drawstring Tea.

A few weeks ago I was out for Saturday dinner with my mom. She had a cold and wanted some hot tea to soothe her scratchy throat. After ordering, the waitress brought out the tea caddy for my mom to make her selection. Upon opening the packet we were both surprised (and a little confused) to see this little drawstring tea bag! The drawstring allows you to get every drop out of the bag in an unintentionally fun way. Completely functional, awesome design which works really, really well.

Mike Monteiro.

I love the blunt, clever, simplicity behind Mike Monteiro’s work. White Helvetica type on black? Can’t go wrong with that combo, my friends. And the sayings are things I totally wish I’d said first.

Fiestaware Mixing Bowls.

I am the proud owner of eight Fiestaware place settings of various colors. And while I’m not all about being matchy-matchy I do love these 3-piece mixing bowl sets – especially the green. They’re just so Betty Crocker Classic.

On the Rocks: Ruby Red Margarita.

Ruby Red Margaritas and the ridiculous amount of vitamin C found in these citrus fruits can help us all stay healthy. So, technically, you need to drink these for your own good.

Ingredients:
– lime wedge
– Coarse salt for coating the rim of the glass
– 1 jigger (1 1/2 ounces) tequila
– 3 tablespoons fresh pink grapefruit juice (preferably ruby red)
– 1 pony (1 ounce) orange-flavored liqueur
– 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar if desired

Garnish: 1 quarter of a slice of ruby red grapefruit

Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with the lime wedge, dip it in the salt, coating it lightly, and chill the glass.

In a blender, blend tequila, grapefruit juice, liqueur, sugar and 1 cup ice cubes for 30 seconds. Pour the drink into the glass, and garnish it with the grapefruit slice.

Yield: 1 margarita
