Back from Break

We're back!  It's been a few months and I am making another attempt at being a better, more consistent "blogger".  

Sunday Supper

We consider ourselves spoiled… by the fresh produce, organically raised meat and responsibly caught fish and seafood that are easily accessible to us.  From the spring to early fall months, a farmers’ market just down the hill from our neighborhood sets up shop on Sundays and we take full advantage of their bounty as much as we can.  More on the market later.  For now, let me share with you one of the dinners we’ve made (and enjoyed) from our farmers’ market shopping… with a little help from Trader Joe’s.

Pink Revival

I was surrounded by the color pink during my childhood.  I may have liked the color for a week and that might have been the same week my Mom had me pick my room colors.  

my incredibly pink room at age 10ish - and yes, i was wearing a pink shirt

 So there it was, for ten years I had curtains, bedding, even a small desk - all in pink.  As I got older, I got so tired of pink that the next chance I had to decorate my space, I chose black & white.  Dim, neutral.  I avoided all shades of pink.  Until recently.  In the last couple of years, I've slowly brought the girly color back into my palette, though restricted to little pops of accent here and there, and never worn simultaneously (unless it's lipstick and gloss).  My current favorites:

shoes, Kenneth Cole; belt, Banana Republic

gloss, MAC in Girl Heart Boy; nail polish in OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender
