my lovely, lovely readers… i’m sorry for the slow-down on updates. there are so many exciting things in my life at the moment, that i find it hard to sleep and not stay awake marveling at everything. this might sound alarming or über-nervous… it’s not (alarming). it’s just… i love my job (you know, theContinue reading
last week offered another occasion for cooking a lavish dinner - and naturally, i grabbed it. we had a long, four days off (the agency was officially closed throughout). so i planned my dinner for friends meticulously, and enjoyed every second of it. i actually planned to sleep in every day and then start theContinue reading
fresh goat cheese is something i find it hard to say no to… smeared on some baguette or ficelle, i find it fragrant but still refreshing and summery. labneh (an arab version of strained goat’s yogurt, turned into some kind of fresh cheese) has always been a staple in my mom’s kitchen. she mostly turned themContinue reading
bread in every version has been labeled ‘evil’ in so many diets… i think it’s a crime. bread, if enjoyed in decent amounts, is the most satisfying food there is. i dream of bread in every imaginable shape. though i (honestly) particularly like the ones that are soft and chewy, best (i know… i’m suchContinue reading
sometimes, a girl just craves pink… especially to cheer herself up. currently, i’m doing bikram yoga (i mean, if summer isn’t here then at least sweat a little at 40 degrees celsius while stretching, bending and strengthening your muscles… because the next bikini session is going to come, dead or alive…). and, though i can’tContinue reading
a friend and i made this cake for a mutual friend’s house warming brunch. they’re living in the prettiest home you can imagine! styled in taste - from the entry to the kitchen. i especially loved their warm, soft green accents and a jewel green signature lounge chair. and of course, this occasion asked forContinue reading
ever since i came across matzo meal on other blogs (it’s not very common around here), i’ve been determined to hunt one down and make matzo ball soup. matzo meal is a food product with the consistency of corny flour, that is made of ground matzo bread. it is often used in traditional jewish cuisine.Continue reading
through the years, i got to read so many blogs, and often wonder who’s really behind the glamorous, perfectly styled pictures and cheerful posts. you know, nobody looks like we look on a blog. and certainly, nobody always feels like we pretend to be on a blog. i, myself, decided some time ago that myContinue reading
this picture makes me happy, in so many ways. it’s a glimpse into aerin lauder’s glamorous manhattan loft (read more here). i would love to live in this picture. can’t really decide why, but it may be due to the jewel green settee, combined with the doubled up sitting area in the back. and ofContinue reading
it’s not really summer yet - though i already managed to wear a dress with bare legs, once (which means i had to use quite a lot of self tanning lotion before that… white legs, eeep!). still, i’m dreaming of picknicks by the lake, a bike tour through the small alleys and narrow lanes ofContinue reading
