Fiesta!

The long awaited Mexican feast I've been obsessing about all week. Thinking, dreaming, planning for days! Most items made from scratch. Strawberry agua fresca with mint syrup. Serving anything in a tall skinny glass makes it fancy. Grilled corn, potatos, and poblano peppers. Tomatillo serrano salsa. And carne asada tacos with roasted tomato garlic salsa and mango jicama slaw.

Muddling through

Sexy new camera. It reminds me of a Klondike bar. A sexy Klondike bar.

Some of you may be getting dried herbs in the mail. Please don't get too excited because it actually IS oregano and NOT "oregano."

3 of my most favorite things all on one plate.

In honor of the Kentucky Derby, we celebrate with mint julep. Not only do I get to use Kentucky bourbon, I can smoosh the mint with the drink muddler. Seersucker suit not pictured. (I actually do have seersucker in my wardrobe.)
