Things & Stuff
At our last supper club, we had beef fajitas, salsas, guacamole, beans with serrano chiles…
And roasted corn slathered with mayonnaise and dipped in cotija cheese and chile…
And homemade tortillas and escabeche…
And an amazing tres leches cake.
I love supper club. 🙂
A few recent meals. I love to see these in film vs. digital.
Green chile and veggie burritos (digital).
Radicchio salad and a mai tai (digital).
Scrambled eggs, toast, berries, iced coffee (film – I posted the digital version of this one before here).
Pinto beans, cheese and tomatoes (digital).
Baguette, manchego, brie, fig jam and mango chutney (digital).
More scrambled eggs, tomatoes, toast and iced coffee (film).
Chocolate cake – I always save the frosting for last (film).
My coworkers took me to Bess Bistro for lunch on my last day of work. I took my camera.
Our fancy private booth.
It was tucked away behind the bar.
Our very own chandelier!
No one would let me take their photo.
Croque Monsieur, with fried egg – does that make it Croque Madame?
Thank you, ladies, for a wonderful lunch!
Dear Husband,
Today you told me that you were proud of me, that you were upset at others for taking me for granted, that you were so happy I was home with you, and that dinner was good even though I knew it needed more salt. Thank you for always being so nice to me.

Dear Roux,
Lately you’ve been glued to my side, curling up in your basket next to my desk, following me from room to room, even sitting on my lap (which we all know is unheard of). I hope you don’t mind that we’ve started calling you Glue Stick, and sometimes even Roux Stick. It’s still quite cute.

Dear Roll of Film,
I am so sad that I left you at my friend’s house last weekend. I’ve been wanting to go pick you up all week, so I can have you developed and finally see your contents. I think tomorrow I will make that happen. Soon, my love, soon!

Dear Monday,
You are infinitely easier to face knowing that I don’t have to sit in a cubicle all day. It makes Sundays more lovely, weekends more relaxed, and mornings more hopeful. You and I might just get along after all.

Dear New Budget,
I have been stressing about you, and how you will require cutting down restaurant visits and clothes shopping, but I think instead I’ll see you as an opportunity to enjoy cooking at home and thrifting for clothes again. I do really want to buy these, and also these, and I could really use some shorts for the summer, so maybe you and I can work something out.

Happy Sunday, everyone!
Justin brought me a bag full of Russian chocolates.
I’m in love with the packaging.
This one is filled with cherry liqueur.
The liqueur was so strong it burned my throat! 🙂
Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend!
