Fun and Food Porn

Went to Palm Springs this weekend to get away with some friends. There was sun and fun and lots of great food. B and I did a run Saturday morning. We ended up going about 4.5 miles which was about 4.5 miles more than I had intended for the weekend. But it was good for me. No real plan, which made for a nice run past cool Palm Springs architecture and taking in the fresh air was a good way to start the day. But the real business of the weekend was pool and eating. Goodness we had some good meals. I won't even bother with the details, but i will let the photos tell the story. Enjoy.


It started with tacos at Las Casuelas as we pulled into town.



We had reservations at Spencer that evening and it was a free for all. Excellent all the way around.





There was sharing and caring. Short Ribs, Steak and Halibut. A sample of the desserts.....Coffee, Carrot Cake and Creme Brulee.






Day 2 started with breakfast by the pool after said run. Frittata and my first ever full cup of coffee. French Press with lots of sugar and milk. Not so bad. Maybe I am turning over a new leaf. Hmmmm Sadly no photo proof of this new leaf. We didn't really have lunch that day as most of the day was spent lounging by the pool. And we had the Taco bar coming to the patio of Room 235 so we didn't want to spoil our dinner. Let me say friends that if you ever find yourself at the Ace, this is the way to go for one of the nights. It was amazing and there was so much food. Take a look see for yourself.








And last but not least, breakfast this morning before heading back to the bubble. King's highway was calling our name with the siren song of Linda Fabulous. Well, that and the coffee.

Panama Day 5-Howard

This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories.  Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs!  This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was.  :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave!    That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out.  ...

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.

June 18-It's a good day

There is nothing like an early morning run to give you a total attitude shift. The birds are singing, people are walking their dogs, houses are waking up and all seems right with the world. I know, I know, there are a few of you who will argue vehemently that running, at 6am no less, is not exactly what you would call a good time. But I beg to differ and I challenge you to try it. Just once. I am not going to lie, it's been a tough week. Work has been busy, I had a free lance job that had me up until 3 am on Tuesday night, I have been on an emotional roller coaster and I have had moments where I just wanted to crawl under my covers and hide. When my alarm went off this morning, I was surprisingly not exhausted.  I made a mental note that I would just take an easy run. Start out slow. I was scheduled to run 35 minutes but since my run yesterday got ixsnayed (how exactly do you spell that?) I decided to try to go a little longer so I don't pay for it on my run Saturday. SO I hopp...
