The Cheesesteak Shop

My search for the perfect cheesesteak continues. . . .Unfortunately the cheesesteak shop was good, but not habit forming.

Wedding!

3 days, 15 pounds of fondant, 3 pounds of almond paste, 10 yards of ribbon, and this is all I have to show for it. But it's definitely worth it.

Jelly Fish

Mini field trip to the academy of science. I love love the jelly fish.

Magic Tupperware

Best tupperware ever! How else am I supposed to pack 3 dozen brownies?

Sausalito

Things kids potentially hate: sand and/or grass.

Snow Patrol

A night of chicken and waffles, Plain White T's, and Snow Patrol. If you haven't been to the Fox Theater, it's amazing!

Lookie Loos

They were shooting a commercial of some sort next to our building, but I thought the lookie loos were more interesting hanging out the window.

Colors!

I've been a little obsessed with color lately and took these shots while wandering downtown on the freaking wettest day of the season so far. Look how absolutely pretty the kitchen aids are! I was a little early going to Sur La Table, so the only logical thing to do was shop for home items at Macys.

I Heart Giada

One of my favorite dilemnas is deciding what to cook combined with my weekend ritual of watching Food Network in the morning. This weekend, Giada made meatballs, so I made meatballs baked with ziti. Plus, nothing says Fall like a pie in the oven. Thank goodness for friends that volunteer to be guinea pigs.

Squatting Debate

No comment needed.

Prisma- Taste the Rainbow

I'm stuck at work on a Saturday and this box of prisma colors is the most interesting thing to take a pic of. I'm tempted to sell them on Craigslist for $2 a marker.

Bosom Ball

You may only know her as the girl who sings the Rogaine song, but Ingrid was out to raise money for breast cancer. I love her cause she ended up singing the theme songs to Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Full House.

Giant Birthday

This little guy turned 1! Amazing how much frosting you can get all over your hands and face in only 5 minutes.

Taiwanese Cravings

A good friend is a little homesick for anything and everything Taiwanese, so I took this pic with dumplings to cheer her up. And since today is also the Chinese Mid Autumn celebration of the moon, I'm gonna stuff my face with some moon cake.

More Orange

An accidental visit to the Oakland Farmer's Market helped in my quest for orange photos. I was recently inspired by Tyler Florence making chicken cordon bleu- I substituted prosciutto for ham, pesto jack for the traditional swiss, and used the extra proscuitto to add to my brussel sprouts. I still have yet to experiment with making a parsnip puree, which seems to be the trendy thing nowadays.

Whip It

What's better than Drew Barrymore + rolle derby? Free Drew Barrymore + roller derby movie! If anything is going to inspire you to want to put on roller skates, knee pads, and clothes line some b^$#! over a padded railing, it would be this movie! Awesome and cute.

Knock Knock

Remember those cheesy knock knock jokes? Knock knock. Who's there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad to see me? Anyhoo, my mini photo projects to be posted will be centered on a single primary color. The color of this week is orange. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find orange, non-safety/construction hazard items in the built environment around you. Next week- red!!!
