Wanna Come to Dinner...: The Traditional and Not-so-Traditional

http://wannacometodinner.blogspot.com/2006/07/traditional-and-not-so-traditional.html

Wanna Come to Dinner. And be our guinea pig? Friday, July 14, 2006. The Traditional and Not-so-Traditional. We spent the 4th of July at my parent's house in NJ. We made some of the traditional picnic-type fare, and also had some not-so-traditional things during our stay. Instead of spanning that week's worth of food across several posts, here is one-big Independence-week post:. Never did take a picture of our Pasta-Pesto-and Peas. Another favorite of Ina's) which we made for a dinner we shared with my Go...

Wanna Come to Dinner...: Lemon Risotto with Tequilla Lime Shrimp

http://wannacometodinner.blogspot.com/2006/07/lemon-risotto-with-tequilla-lime.html

Wanna Come to Dinner. And be our guinea pig? Tuesday, July 04, 2006. Lemon Risotto with Tequilla Lime Shrimp. I have never made risotto before, but it has always been on the list of things to try at some point. For some reason that urge hit me over the first weekend of summer heat. Note to self. save risotto for cool crisp evenings when you will be thrilled to have to stand over a hot stove for 30 minutes! From Real Simple, May 2006. 3 Tbsp unsalted butter. 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped. But this ...

Wanna Come to Dinner...: She bought a Tart Pan

http://wannacometodinner.blogspot.com/2006/07/she-bought-tart-pan.html

Wanna Come to Dinner. And be our guinea pig? Thursday, July 13, 2006. She bought a Tart Pan. After recently making several recipes in a springform pan that called for a tart pan, I finally bought a tart pan. I bought a 9" one and four mini-ones (4"). I used them for the first time after buying a big bag of cherries at the market, and calling a friend to come to dinner with her greyhound, Carla. (the photo is Carla and Kingsley each on a bed in our dining room). 1 1/2 cups flour. 2 tsp heavy cream. We are...

Tweaking the same old, same old. When not at my 9-5, my time has been spent on some projects i've been working on to bring a little transformation to my living space. mostly small details to things i already own. recently, i was finally able to acquire a set of linen sheets; which beyond the expected visual treat, makes going to sleep at night a delightful pleasure. After a little rearranging of the pictures above the lamp, i'm quite content with the feel of the space; still mine, just renewed. The costu...

*anastasia.handmade: miniatures outside the dollhouse

http://anastasiahandmade.blogspot.com/2012/05/miniatures-outside-dollhouse.html

Miniatures outside the dollhouse. Creating small container gardens is quite fun and very rewarding. you can add pizazz with little details and give birth to miniature worlds. in this case, washi tape bunting and twig poles. It's a "welcome to your new space" gift for our local yarn shop owner. she's opening a new shop, with a new location which gets great light due to the wall of glass at the entrance. succulents love light, and every space needs something living to bring good karma.

Here is my handle, here is my spout. I'm on a bit of a kick. after working out the kinks in the first knitted tea cozy, i decided to finesse the idea and created two more. both with a crocheted bottom and open top to slip the teapot into spout first. also, an excuse to use pom poms in something other than a hat. The other one is in yellow hues, and for a larger teapot. both were knit from an alpaca/wool blend bulky yarn and are super soft and squishy. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The ocean is a playground. I love a quiet beach; the gentle pull and push of the tide, the scurrying water-bourne natives, the grasses moving in a breeze not of the air, seeing the life which is so different to the life on the land. i have found the tidepools and crystal clear water from my childhood memories, and found new joy in playing with the tiny hermit crabs which live in them.
