still trying to clear out my pictures on my phone…
here are some from late spring/early summer:
{my old neighborhood, the village}
{“el brunch” at urban taco with my old roommates, katlyn and lauren. wish i would have gotten pictures of us together!}
{a crawfish boil at barley house}
{chili’s flatbreads! and a strawberry & goat cheese muffin from central market}
{throughout the spring and early summer, ashley, guido, and i would go to katy trail icehouse every sunday evening for beers and bbq [but we never once got to try the bbq – they had always run out by the time we arrived. apparently you have to come first thing in the morning if you want to get any.] their brisket tacos are pretty good though, and the atmosphere is fun. guido named this regular sunday affair “family tradition,” and the name stuck!}
{my old porch, and the common table}
{baby cows! and the time that i came downstairs and mom & i were pretty much wearing the same outfit}
{…and THEN, another day, my friend linda at work and i both showed up matching, which was coincidentally the same outfit that i was wearing when mom and i “matched.” so funny! i guess i need to work on my originality!}
{la madeleine, i love you. potato galette, strawberries romanoff, and hot tea.}
{mom and i shared this blueberry crunch bagel at the chicago o’hare airport and it was SO. GOOD.}
{selfies, because i don’t like to take myself too seriously…}
{eating a whole foods lunch outside at work}
{a really tasty mother’s day meal at piranha with mom and dad}
{more work lunches: avocado toast and bao – a chinese steamed bun filled with bbq pork}
{love this girl}
{red rose tea from angelica and lights at the village}
{she loves to be an “inside kitty” in the evenings and snuggle with mama}
{i went to ketchup burger bar with my cousin ashlin and we splurged a bit…}
{cheers!}
{just a celebrity bakery pink champagne cupcake with strawberries and pearls, is all}
{“once again i find myself in the rather awkward position of having to ask one of you for a biscuit.”}
{a yogurt-dipped freeze-dried strawberry, and looking back through my food analysis textbook wondering how i ever made it through college}
{more lunches: crawfish and a crab stack salad}
hope you’re all having a super weekend!
