London Calling

I'm headed off to England tomorrow, so this is me signing off for a bit.  

Let's meet up back here in June, okay?  

See you soon.

 Speaking of things that make me happy to be alive....

This is my new favorite song.  It makes me happy.   I'm dancing in my chair to it right now - just can't help myself.  


Oogum Boogum, baby.

happiness is sidewalk chalk art

There's a girl next door who is a master chalk artist.  Her murals make my day.

Happy weekend!

new apartment

So, there's been a lot of change over on this end lately.  Another item being that I may have to find a new apartment come June.   Not sure yet, but no matter - I've found my new place!  Unfortunately, I'll have to move to Hong Kong. 

This place is SO COOL!


(Thanks for showing me this, Mom!)

why I love blogs

So, the other night, I was checking out an old friend's blog - where she mentioned a blog she'd been enjoying lately.  So I clicked and found an awesome looking recipe for an asparagus tart. 

I had been planning to scramble some eggs and saute some asparagus for dinner (so glamorous, right?)  But divine providence clearly intervened.

I had to adjust the recipe a bit.  I didn't have puffed pastry hanging around in the freezer, so I made an almond flour biscuit.  Atop the biscuit, I spread mascarpone cheese, roasted garlic, and an egg.  Then I laid in the asparagus, and sprinkled on fresh parsley and pine nuts.

It was an excellent dinner.  Thank you blog world!

MAY DAY

We did it, guys!  We made it through the trauma of early spring!  

I don't know about you, but I am very much looking forward to May.  

Happy May Day!
