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.

{You've come a long way, Baby}

I have been living in the Rabbit Hole for almost 2 years now. It has become my safe haven from the storm of this city. Don't get me wrong I love this city but it is nice to have a little sanctuary to retreat to when all the hustle and bustle starts to overwhelm. I love sitting at my window every morning to write and watch the parade of neighbors stroll by. I have come to "know" some of them, not personally but just by virtue of seeing them on a regular basis. But that will be another post. This is all about the Rabbit Hole. As I come up on the 2 year mark, I took a look back at where it all started. I remember walking into the apartment with my mom and my broker and falling immediately in love with this little space. I am so thankful we were able to pull off the painstaking process of actually getting the apartment. It has been such a great place to live. And there have been some changes. So here are the before and afters of the last two years.  It was so bare and crisp...

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.

Gray hair coming in HOT

Has anyone else had to come to grips with how much gray hair you actually have in the last few weeks? NO? Just me? Ok. I needed some color before we even went into shelter in place but a move, a job in Boston and then a complete shutdown of all no-essential services (Um that depends on who you ask) thwarted my getting into Kay’s chair in FiDI. SO here I am, easily 3 weeks past due and oh hey look at all those grays! The funny thing is it depends on where I part my hair as to how much presents itself. I have a lovely little patch right on the top of my head just past my hairline. So there will be no trendy mid parts in my foreseeable future. But if I go just a bit off center to the left you can barely see them. Although I am getting more and more around the temple, ear area so there is that.      I don’t even so much mind my grays. Yes it signals that I am not “young” anymore, well not in the 20-30 years young, but it doesn’t make me feel OLD. I like how I feel when I’v...
