Worth the Time
This is pretty goshdarn exciting. I've never been so excited by a Target collaboration before. Orla Kiely is one of my favorite designers. And you all know how excited I was when the first neighborhood Target opened up in West Hollywood a few years ago. I can't wait to see this stuff! Thanks to Locks for the alert.

Dumb Stuff I'd Want
Ok, I'm giving into requests. Here's a list of things I'd use/love/appreciate if it came my way.
- Nice snail mail material. Any stationery from Snow & Graham. This online stationery store, Luxe Paperie, sells their stuff. G-babe is the best.
- I'm almost done with my box of PG Tips (the pyramid bags). I'd love a fresh box of that stuff from any ( Read more... ) -

Brownies
Don't worry, this isn't going to turn into some food blog but I was on a crazy baking kick this weekend and made brownies (for brownie sundae), banana bread muffins, and bread pudding. I just need a place to keep the recipes cause I'm a forgetful bird.- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Baked Potato Soup
I've made this before using a different recipe that called for all kinds of rich 'n heavy dairy products, which I most definitely don't shy away from but it didn't seem to help matters much. So I found this recipe on a site I really like to hate - great content but I'm meh on everything else about these __sugar websites. This was very easy to ( Read more... ) -
Bread Pudding
I couldn't find this old recipe that would always come up when I Googled "bread pudding" when I was making it last night. So I muddled through and found something close and this time, I'm going to save it. From Southern fabulousness Paula Dean's recipe. I didn't bother with the sauce part but here's the whole thing for posterity.

Yes, We Can
I don't have the energy or wits to compose a well-written entry and I'll never get around to doing it if I start trying. So here goes.
Gretchen and I are obsessed with this veggie Chinese restaurant in San Gabriel, especially the Eggplant with Basil they have there. Tonight, we drove all the way out to Fine Garden on a whim. We love that ( Read more... ) -
Andrew Bird at Largo
Last night, I went to hear Andrew Bird play at Largo @ the Coronet Theatre on Fairfax with Miss Laurel. The theatre is a cozy old-school auditorium style theatre. The stage was set up with a double-horn phonograph that spun at Mr. Bird's command. Besides that, it was just him and his guitar and violin and let me tell you, it was divine magic.
