summer salad

If you're looking for something a little different than the basic green salad you might want to try this recipe (click on recipe to make it larger).
It's by Ellie Krieger from Food Network and supereasy to prepare. I substituted snap peas for the green beans (I had them in my refrigerator) and it was delish. Also--much better the second day (after everything soaks in) so might be a good idea to make this and let it sit overnight until lunch/dinner the next day. Enjoy!

bike me

I picked up the two wheeler shirtdress from Anthropologie, so now I'm thinking it might be fun to have a bike as well. The only drag is the bike helmet...kind of puts a dent in the "this bike is part of my outfit" look but very necessary in our small town with blind drivers.

love trip

I'm off to see a certain *grand*child this week. Some other *grand* news but will share later.

weekend!

I am so spoiled to have summers off...every day is a Friday!
Hope you enjoy your Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!

bravo BRAVO!

Never have I waited in such anticipation for a commercial break since I first spotted BRAVO's SUMMER line up advertisement. The music (Macy Gray singing "Kissed It") with the reality stars we love make it a winner in my book.
I was also fascinated with the behind the scenes video on how they got the tiger to schmooze it up with Patti the Matchmaker.
