Family Dinner

I have missed Tim and Elise. Giggling and drinking wine on the porch with them feels like going home.

Yes, the dinner party was marvelous. Elise SURE OUTDID HERSELF with the peach and prosciutto hors d'oeuvre.

Walkabout

My mama and I do long lunches REALLY WELL. We also love a good long walk and a strong afternoon cup of coffee. Here we are doing what we do best. 

Lunch at Pastis! A stroll around the West Village! Coffee at La Colombe! Parfait.

Casa Mono

I live upstairs from a restaurant and wine bar brother and sister—Casa Mono and Bar Jamon. I have spend MANY long evenings at Bar Jamon but last night was my first time at Casa Mono. My mother is in town and I've been saving it for her.  It has a Michelin star and the food was RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. We even tried the rabbit...

Beets Baby

At the farmers market on Saturday I bought three rounds of beets. I don't know what got into me, I just kept buying more—each bunch more glorious than the last.

And we're back on the porch. It's a bit warmer these days but there's still nothing like it. It feels like SUMMER.

Rainy Brunch

On Sunday we were supposed to float the river but we woke up to a black sky and cool weather. SO we made brunch instead. We really went all out—fresh cut flowers! Bacon! Pineapple!

*Ben accidentally took my memory card with him. I've been without a camera for the last week. Fingers crossed it comes today in the mail.

Sunday

AH SUNDAY. We laughed ourselves delirious. There was a brunch, indeed, but there was also window shopping, neighborhood strolling, and an afternoon thunderstorm.

And DAMNIT Charleston is pretty in Spring!

Monday Monday

Right now my job is at a stand still and I'll be honest, my days are blissfully free. On Monday I slept in,
took a long walk with Tutti, and then went on a manicure-margarita-porch sitting-frienship marathon
with some of my very favorite people.

Marathon

The last five days have been a party marathon. There's been as much eating, drinking, and dancing as one homie can handle. My family has been in town so we've been going out for EVERY MEAL. Not that I'm complaining.

TACO BOY

Ben's tall drink of water friend Matt was in town this weekend and we had a saturday afternoon marathon at Taco Boy. It was a moody, gray day and we survived it with margaritas and too much queso. I just got my new camera in the mail and I am TERRIBLY EXCITED. I've been relying on Ben for all my photos needs thus far but no longer.
