Too much perfection

Posted on March 31st, 2011

First of all, thank you all so much for all of your wonderful comments on my post about the book! I am so grateful for your support – I can’t believe people are already ordering it!

(Seriously, the most awesome kitchen stuff ever, plus Starbucks gift cards and money and t-shirts) I had lunch with a great group of gals at the East Side Drive In (fish n’ chips, plus fried oreos and a coconut sno-cone!)

Internets! My book is now available for pre-order: BookPeople Amazon Barnes & Noble Borders (How crazy is that?! It’s very surreal to see it for sale on these sites.)

Hurry up, 2012! ** I finally watched It’s Complicated. I laughed the whole time… John Krasinksi is TOO funny. I loved her bakery, I loved her fabulous home, I loved the chats with girlfriends, her timeless style, the many meals shared and the making of chocolate croissants. I think this one will be added to my favorites list. ** These letterpress cards are hilarious. I love the letter to Noah. ** Tracy is photographing something food-related every day for a year. ** Rachel and Logan visited a cocina economica in Merida. This is pretty much…

Letters #1

Posted on March 25th, 2011

Dear God, Thank you for the lovely weather today. I rode my scooter, and every moment that I was outside, I appreciated the breeze, the sun, the clouds, the clean air, the trees, and life itself. I’m looking forward to seeing what you bring tomorrow. *   *   *   *   *   *    *   *   * Dear Husband, Two nights ago you said your heart fluttered when you saw me as you walked in the door.
