Latest Obsessions

*Wine poached pears
making these tomorrow night

*Aged Leather Candle from Cold Spring Apothecary
One of my favorite places to visit when we go up to Cold Spring.
This candle makes you feel like you're in an old library, surrounded by
leather chairs and ancient books.

*Sherry
El Maestro Sierra is a producer that I'm diggin',
the flavor profile is funky- definitely not for the faint of heart,
what does it for me is the umami quality and the finish that sometimes
reminds me of pancakes and syrup.

*Being able to drink regular cappuccinos again.
Who knew that my caffeine intolerance was all because of
the bcp.  Wish I would have had this informations about 10 years ago.
I would have had a lot less anxiety...

*Dracula
What can I say, I'm a sucker for vampire period pieces, and watching
Jonathan Rhys Meyers seduce women.
I'm sold. (if only it wasn't on NBC.)

*The Grand Budapest Hotel
Cannot wait for this. So many favorite people.

Latest Obsessions

It's been awhile since I've posted. There's been a lot going on
between my best friend's wedding (an actual event, not the movie),
new job starting, 2 person dance parties,  having a friend visit last weekend,
and just keeping up with the house.

It's been a mixture of not having enough time, and also not having too
much to say. It happens.  But I'll jump back into things with some
new obsessions. Feel free to share yours as well- I love finding new things
to be completely and utterly obsessed with.

*This grad speech
Contrary to the header, I don't find this depressing or horrifying at any point.

*No No No Cat
I caught our resident Tomcat doing something similar to this
back in the spring time and it made my day.

*Pumpkin Swirl Brownies via Smitten Kitchen
I'll be making these later today. It's officially time for pumpkin mania.

*Decorating for Halloween today
I love Halloween. To me it has a season similar to Christmas.
Only with a focus on witches, pumpkins, cider, cider doughnuts, and ghosts.
It's the one time of year where I can get the husband to watch scary movies
( and Halloween is Grinch Night) with me.

*Searching for Reykjavik restaurants
I love experiencing other cultures through food, and since we are
going in a few months I figured I'd better start my list of places now.
The city is fairly small so it won't be as intense as my list was for Berlin.

*How I Met Your Mother/ The Mindy Project
diggin' the new seasons.

*Sergio Muffin
I met a dog that reminded me of him- though not as handsome.
Made me miss this little gentleman.
