breakfast for dinner

so i love me some eggs. and for some reason eating breakfast for dinner makes me feel special, like a little child learning to ride a bike for the first time. i made this the other night. sauteed some onions, corn, and red peppers and then added a little bit of spinach to the top. heres the kicker though- central markets 'roaring tomatillo sauce.' the salsa is key.

quarterlife

okay- i'm obsessed and the show has just started. remember would you would tune into my so called life, turn out the lights and have a good old fashion sob fest? or was that just me....? anyways- this show demonstrates the same kind of emotional depth claire danes expressed as the sad coming of age angela chase only for 20-somethings. for those of us(in our 20's:) stuck in a rut or experiencing an overall lack of inspiration this show is for you. i hope that doesn't make me sound too jaded.

tuberose

tuberose is a perennial plant of the agave family agavaceae, extracts of which are used as a top note in perfumery(yes i wikipediad that).they have a gardenia smell to them that is so fragrantly yummy.

local

i don't know how to describe the goodness that is local without fearing i am saying too little or too much. local is a gem of a restaurant located in deep ellum on elm street. the design aesthetic and presentation in everything they do is impeccable and of course the food is amazing. i have added some images but really they don't do it justice. local proves that less really is more.

miss liss

so i came home from work last night to find a lovely parcel from california on my doorstep. melissas' gift was too pretty not to share and almost too pretty to open. thanks melissa for the beautiful birthday gifts! you made my night!

that hair!

a blast from the past

 


i thought i would add another post because my previous one feels so lonely. here are some pics from christmas. i made taylor this ginger cake and delicious quiche. i think the quiche called for about 5 different cheeses...maybe 6. but that's what resolutions are for-right?

going raw

i was inspired by an article i read in dominos' march 2008 issue about raw foodie zoe sakoutis. i tried one of her resipes for nori lettuce wraps and i have to say i am a fan! i even did the husband test - and he approved! i added annes' ginerly vinaigrette to bump up the flavor. don't know if it's actually considered 'raw' but hey it's organic and that works for me.
