Professionally we’ve been working trunk show all week, and today was a roadie. Dressing beautiful and busy women in beautiful clothing. Yeah, it’s been all dressed up. Yet at the end of the day it’s all about being in for the night: as in good food, bare feet, and maybe second daughter’s last boyfriends hoodie. 🙂 Don’t really think he’s getting it back.

It’s been a great week, working on all kinds of fun projects: we’re talking about you Wendy in Phoenix AZ!

Three of eight hopped on planes this morning, all going different directions. Love you all, safe travels.

Last night we cooked up some whole wheat pasta with brie, small organic tomatoes, homegrown basil, thank you Ethan. Pan-sauteed chicken on the side and a green salad rounded things out. Night before we did beef short ribs with parsnip puree. Photos of the short ribs and puree are weak, they were snapped with the iPhone, these are busy days, yet the food I must say was beyond.

TGIF, hope everyone had a great week; we’re in for the night, and every day dress. Make the bed, protein for breakfast, get out of the yoga clothes, put on some makeup, walk the dogs, make some dinner, enjoy a glass of wine. xoxo

For impromptu Sunday brunch in ski town, did ham and bacon, two dozen eggs, roasted potatoes, a bunch of spinach with walnuts, blue cheese and mandarin oranges, and wore double denim while cooking and serving.

Set the table for ten, five more came second shift, no cloth napkins, something had to give, totally impromptu.

When you’ve just gotta do it, sometimes it’s just easier to simply double up.

Happy Monday. xoxo

IMG_6281IMG_6283IMG_6284I used to bake, and now that no-one is eating that stuff anymore, it seems we’re down to doing a lot of chicken and eggs. Threw in a great lamb stew with butter is love old-fashioned egg noodles last night; simmered all day and no photo, it was Sunday night. 🙂

Here’s a few shots from what’s been going on culinary wise, all with the iPhone. Ordered and paid for a new key for the locked car with the camera inside and then found the key on my second desk, duh.

Food is a big deal in our house, always buy and cook the best we can. Silver needs polishing, oh well.

Every day dress, chicken and eggs, and as many vegetables as we can get.

fast food for five

We were dressed proper all day long for school run drop-off, conference calls, desk work, a colleague meeting, school run pick-up and a board meeting. Six-thirty bam and everyone’s kind of wondering what’s for dinner.

Bring it on, fast food for five: five grass-fed rib-eyes, three heads of romaine, a bunch of green beans. Had a loaf of fresh bread with salted butter on stand-by, no carb takers. Add a dog or two behind the sink, rips and second son’s white linen shirt, dinner served.

Make it easy, pick up some steaks and a bunch of green stuff, fast food for five or whatever. First thing in the morning put your hair up in top-knot and bake-off some banana bread. Kitchen time is soulful.
