All-Out Bolognese… Made w/ Love!

We had an unsually strange winter this year. November was still warm and then as soon as Thanksgiving hit, a cold spell came across California. It was 70 degrees one week and then 40 the next. It was constantly raining and I was starting to really worry about my ocean bluff top wedding in December […]

Snap!

Just a quick shot I dug up in the archives of my computer. This was taken when I got broadsided by a nutty driver here in Palo Alto and she insisted on doing everything in cash under the table. I ended up with a hardtop Volvo convertible. Coincidentally Sam’s close friend Ink and Ang announced […]

Lime Tree + Silly Friends

There was an awesome deal at Newegg for a 2TB WD My Book that was on sale last week. I quickly logged on and punched in my credit card number that I have memorized by heart and within a few days my new data backup goodie showed up on the doorstep. I <3 UPS/Fedex! 3 […]

Mustard’s Grill

It’s Monday again… The weekend flew by too fast. Whenever it’s Monday, I always start thinking of all the places I’d rather be instead of restarting the countdown towards the next weekend. Just cause I’ve been constantly thinking about the brown sugar meringue topping, I had to go and dig out the pictures of the […]

Salad!

I got a Chipotle salad for lunch today. Loaded up with lots of veggies and salsa… and steak! Ever since college I’ve rarely touched Chipotle, the only other time since 2005 was when they served us burritos for a company event. Not too shabby! The menu’s changed since the last time I was in. I […]

Pixar and a Good Chinese Meal!

I heart Pixar. Of all of the movies they’ve made, my favorites are still Cars, Monsters Inc., and Wall-E. A few years ago for Christmas, Sam bought me two little Wall-E toys. It was also the same time I got my D300 and I had a lot of fun putting my Wall-E’s in funny poses. […]

Registry Thoughts and Registry Bonus Gifts

I briefly mentioned the bonus gifts in my last post when blogging about the off sized All-Clad measuring spoons. Most stores such as Crate and Barrel, WS, and Macy’s offer incentive gifts through some of the brands they carry. I can’t figure out why, but I guess it is to entice brides to register for […]

Just Because Flowers. :)

I love tulips and daffodils. They just seem so bright and cheery. When we first lived in Seattle, we’d drive up to Skagit Valley to enoy the annual Tulip Festival. I came back home earlier this week and saw these on the dining room table. Thanks Hubsters!! Love the flowers! 😀 The candle holders next […]

Peppermint Bark Fudge Chocolate Cookies!

I was browsing around looking for other ideas of using Peppermint Bark since we have quite a bit leftover. I was probably on crack when I got on a craving and bought a stash from Williams Sonoma. I LOVE Williams Sonoma… I probably gained 5 pounds just from working there on the weekends over the […]
