foggy monday

I am not going to write down the lyrics, they are cheesy and too light to say what I am feeling, but this year I will miss all the people that would have been swaying their arms with me to welcome yet another year on this earth.

This pin is adorable. Apparently the first lady of France will make her acting debut in his next film. Soooo cozy!

I am not a great cook, nor do I aspire to be. I do however aspire to be a wonderful consumer of the good stuff. The way in which we engage with food has always interested me. Whether it was my first experience with southern fried chicken in the deep south, fresh eggs retreived in the morning to make cookies in the afternoon, maple syrup made simmering in the forest, to my first lobster dinner and creme brulee - the way we cook, eat and source food has always been high on my list of things I enjoy. I have heard the phrase "that takes me back" used to describe how the smell and taste of a certain thing can transport us back in time. Nostalgic, yes, but powerful none-the-less. Coming upon this article that described "the animal and intellectual desires that drive our cravings and food preferences." made me stop. An exhibit in Paris during fashion week called Through the Looking Glass. Drink Me! Eat Me! sounded like such an amazing idea. It combines food, art and what ...

I need to find where I can get the Sunday Times here in the 'hagen. My aim for this Sunday morn is homemade breakie, the Times, yoga and tea. Keeping things simple just may make this plan a reality...we shall see. Times covers.... beautiful.

I love this site !

I have yet to try this, but the tradition of pouring champagne over the top of this cheese makes me say - yes please! It sounds strong, I am not sure if I will be able to handle it, but never the less, it is worth a try. More time at the gym and yoga is in the cards so I can indulge in these simple pleasures! Welcome winter and thirty-one soon.

Some visually stunning garments and objects I am digging today. Combined these things would make a very pretty winter party scene.

Taking great pleasure in the small things in life is important. This recipe is beyond indulgent, and looks so delicious.

Thanks Grandpa Owen and Thomas for your efforts. I remember you and will think of you both today.

This would make a cute Christmas present, I think. The plan for this year's Christmas celebration is to go present shopping in storage units! Big comfy bathrobes, stemless wine glasses and salad spinners....I am coming to get you!

is the number of days since I was born...suddenly I feel so behind! So, to keep things simple, I am off to look for winter digs and then check out a neat bubble exhibit at the Museum for Kunst. It is an overcast Sunday, but having kicked my headache and caught up on sleep, these flowers seem very appropriate.
