For some reason I’ve always wanted to own a citrus juicer like this one. I’d set it proudly upon my counter with my Kitchen-Aid mixer and Cuisinart coffee maker and call it a day. Now it seems like at least the first part of that equation is in my budget. I’m loving the color and style of this little guy. And surprise, surprise – it’s from Martha’s Collection.
Buttermilk Pie isn’t something I’ve ever tried before, but after reading the recipe of this Southern classic I’m intrigued. Do I smell an easy to make Kentucky Derby party dessert? I think I just might.

Posted In recipesHatch Show Print could design toilet paper and I’d want to buy some. Check out The Show Wines. Who knows how it tastes, but my-oh-my, it sure is pretty to look at.
I confess. I went through my Pottery Barn phase just like everyone else. There, I’ve said it! I’ll also admit that I still receive their seasonal catalogues in the mail and am rarely interested in more than one item I see there. So when I cracked open PB’s summer issue I wasn’t expecting to see much that piqued my interests. Surprised is an understatement – I found something on almost every. single. page. Is this a new dawn of design for Pottery Barn?

This is me after four days of high-level productivity, doctor appointments and being diagnosed with mono. Actually, this picture is prettier than me after the aforementioned.

Two of my very favorite things – chocolate and crusty bread – combine to make Fried Bittersweet Chocolate Bread. Ooey, gooey and delicious looking. Eat it for dessert or the main course!

Posted In recipesWhether I noticed the tongue-in-cheek monicker or the great design first is a toss up. Chewing the Cud has been all over the blog-o-sphere as of late and I’m definitely a fan. I love the great choice of type and the antique-like illustrations.
Loving the Moroso chair by designer Tokujin Yoshioka. What a beautiful way to put scraps of fabric to good use. And can you say “patience”?
