Time for a dose of local Oklahoma City in the best possible form: candy from Fat Daddy Sweets!
Aside from having just about the best name ever, Fat Daddy Sweets also has some of the tastiest chocolates and caramels I’ve ever tried. You can take your pick from Dark Chocolate Truffles, fancy Fleur de Sel caramels and peppermint patties among others. Check out the shop for more varieties, samplers, boxed favors and shipping information. (And don’t be afraid to ask questions either – there’s a very accommodating lady behind the biz!)
This week’s edition of Word is brought to us by the ever-awesome Jessica of Shiny Squirrel. Hop on over to check out her wicked fashion sense and eye for art!
I snore. My ex-boyfriend told me it was terrible, but honestly how bad could it REALLY be??
However if I consider the way my mothers’ snoring is like a freight train coming through the room I could imagine that there were probably a lot of sleepless nights when we were together. The sound is loud and although I try and blame my diveted septum, which I found out I had maybe 6 months ago it doesn’t really help or stop the pain for the other party involved.
I tend to hog the bed curling myself in the blanket and dominating every inch of it. I sometimes wonder how I ever lived without my queen size bed because it never seems big enough anymore. I only sleep with one very thin pillow and a pillow case that I have had for the last 22 years. I only have the best sleep when I have it.
I stopped dreaming for about a year and half after I moved to Brooklyn. When I finally did they were either super sexual, super violent, or I was losing my teeth. I have only recently started getting back to normal dreaming where I have super powers mostly ones that involved climbing or shooting laser beams.
I wish I could sleep anywhere or I smiled when I slept like her. Although I am afraid I am not as graceful and if you were to take a photo of me when I was in a deep sleep my mouth would be gaping wide open and I would most definitely would be drooling.
Boiling water is so tumultuous and beautiful. I love how Bodum‘s new glass stovetop kettle allows you to see the water as it heats. (It also whistles in case you’re not in the room when it reaches the boiling point.)
I’m guilty of having never tried a fig. Not even once. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to, it’s just the occasion hasn’t ever presented itself. At least not yet. But not even that trivial fact has prevented me from compiling a weeks worth (and then some) of tasty recipes for Fig Week!
First up is this to die for Fig Plum Sheet Cake loaded down with fruits, pistachios and honey. My, oh my.

Last Thursday I finally got to see (500) Days of Summer and loved it. Zooey Deschanel is totally my #1 girl crush! She and Joseph Gordon Levitt have great chemistry and teamed up again for the latest She & Him video…
