so this blog is past due for an update of what’s been going on around here since the start of 2013, besides all the birthdays [mine and my brother’s], valentine’s day, culinary school, and business trips, because those all get their own posts. what else is there? you ask. well, a whole lot of everything, and by everything, i naturally mean food. and a scattering of other randoms. this is me we’re talking about, after all.
so here it is:
{christmas crafts. after christmas. because this is how i roll.}
{the tiny bit of snow we got + milky, cinnamony chai tea with honey and The Book With All the Stories. in bed. on a sunday evening. a.k.a. contentment at its finest.}
{in early january, kyle came to visit, and he went with me to buy my first mini keg for my beertender, which i mentioned in this post. “baby’s first mini keg” – that’s one for the books!} ;)
{it just so happened that the lucky ducky dogs food truck had set up camp at the liquor store parking lot when we went to get the keg, and we hadn’t eaten dinner, so we each got a hot dog before we went home. they were delicious, and i loved how college-y it felt – so spontaneous and fun. ahh. i miss college.}
{trying out the beertender!}
{sorority posing}
{just another wild night in dallas}
{i adore them.}
{delicious lunch that kyle and i had at olivella’s}
{ashley and me + the southwest turkey burger from village burger bar}
{back in the kitchen, y’all. you know what that means… an over-abundance of food photos! and lots of pictures of downtown dallas}
{lucky helping me with my work projects…and all bundled up in his new bed!}
{eating a chocolate-dipped coconut macaroon by the warmth of a fire at la madeleine.}
{blackberry lovin’}
{doing my monday-tuesday night thang}
{leinenkugel’s snowdrift vanilla porter + a prehistoric camera}
{a couple of my favorite lunches from whole foods… a salmon roll + more blackberries(!), and roasted edamame}
{…and some tasty dinners: acorn squash with butter and brown sugar (okay, so that might be more like dessert!) and a mini pizza with zucchini and sunburst tomatoes}
{“that building with the green lights”}
{being silly in the bugatti}
{the bugatti dog and i went for a ride with dad}
{yet another great shopping area to explore in dallas… highland park village}
{happy mardi gras!}
{the historic inwood theatre + a louisiana roll}
{i used my anthro birthday coupon to buy this adorable pair of earrings for myself, among other things}
{this city.}
{why i feel the need to document my crazy hair days, i don’t know…}
{…and then there was the time that i had purple hair for a day…}
{editing produce specs, drinking large volumes of green tea, and eating sunbursts like candy all kind of go hand-in-hand, as it turns out. so that’s what i do!}
{caramelized sea scallops with roasted asparagus and sundried tomato-mushroom pearl pasta from seasons 52…and a lot of dallas traffic}
and there you have it, folks. the first two months of 2013 in a nutshell.
have a great rest of the week!
