My Life Lately

Clearly I have been doing a lot of eating, as most, if not all, of my photos have food in them. If the food is worthy, it deserves a picture. As told by Instagram (you can follow me here!), this has been my life lately.

1. Tried out a new Ramen restaurant, and it was delightful. Authentic and delicious.

2. When you feel a cold coming on, warm lemon water with ginger never fails.

3. Interviewed an awesome woman in her “office.” Isn’t it beautiful?

4. Snacking on a big bowl of red cherries.

5. Brunch at Tallulah’s is out of this world. Their organic blueberry pancake is the best I’ve ever had anywhere.

6. The flowers at Pike Place Market are stunning. I want to take them all home with me.

That’s a Wrap!

This has been one jam-packed week in terms of movies. My favorites that I watched this week were Charade (1963) and Love Story (1970). Love Story was absolutely heartbreaking, and it’s such a smart, well-done movie. I love Jenny’s confidence and sass. If you haven’t yet seen it, I highly recommend it for the weekend. It’s currently on Netflix Instant, score! While I watched mostly classics this past week, I’m hoping to catch up on a few of the more recent releases. I’m still working on building up my endurance for The Wolf of Wall Street. I finally got back into the kitchen this week (to make this), and it felt amazing. Now, let’s wrap up the week with a recap…

* Catching up on reading in the morning with a perfect poppy-seed muffin (photo above).

* It feels like summer with a big bowl of red cherries (2nd photo).

* Mindy Kaling’s Harvard Law School commencement speech.

* The Secret Life of Walter Mitty & LIFE covers.

* How Katz Deli makes their pastrami sandwiches.

* Amy Poehler’s Yes Please memoir book cover. Yes!

* I love a great infographic, especially when it is food-related.

* Pouring yourself too much wine? Here’s why.

* Life lessons from Starbucks’ Howard Schultz.

* The New York Times recipe collection.

* The best surfaces for kitchen countertops.

*What an adorable DIY Donut Rug.

* Just another reason why Drew Barrymore is awesome.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday’s Features

♥ Quick peek at an HBO film I am so excited for!

I hope you all had a great week, filled with chocolates, romantic comedies, and love! This weekend seems like a good time to go out to dinner with friends and catch a movie afterwards. This Means War is out, and because I am a huge Reese Witherspoon fan, I’ll probably be first in line at the theater (once I complete the loads of work I still have, no thanks to a cold I had to fight throughout the week). Remember to take your vitamin C and drink lots of liquids. Have a warm and productive weekend! Until then, here are the things I am currently watching + craving.

♥ Missing the colorful taste of childhood snow cones

♥ Thoroughly enjoyed watching In Time

♥ Audrey and Grace at the Oscars

♥ Looking forward to spring and all the food that it brings, like cherries!
