I am ok with

Blogging once a week. If i can stick to this regimen I will be happy blogisticker.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I decided that I want to continue selling things on Etsy. I haven't made any cards in a very long time ( February) and I want to start back up and maybe sell oddities that I find too. I think Etsy is a great second job to pick up some cash and be creative. I might put up some of my photographs to sell as well.

Today, is kind of sad day. My friend Tolga is moving back to Turkey. We are having a dinner tonight and he's going to cook us some authentic Turkish dishes, which I am soooo excited for!!

ALso, yesterday, I stopped in MAC store, started twitching. I managed to get out with only an undercover eye stick and some new lipglass.... its hotness friends.


Alright, bloggity bloggers. I've gotta get this ass in gear and do some craftizations.

Sunday Mornings

So, I know I don't blog for 10 years and all of the sudden i write 2 in one day. What are things coming to?
After my og post, we made some breakfast and we had elephant eyes, eggs in the basket, whatever the f- you want to call it. It was delish. Of course, I had my coffee and kombucha fix and some farmers market cantaloupe. YUM.



After breakfast, we headed out to the farmers market and picked up our weekly produce. I'm not sure if its cheaper then shopping at a big chain grocery store but as far as shopping at whole foods/wild oats. Its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper. So we spent $47 and the bulk of the money went to flowers $12 and berries (3 boxes) $11 and then the other $24 went to other veggies and fruits

So here is the famers market booty! IN my uber cute riesenthal shopping bag.





So, if you want an idea of how much it bought us

1 peach
1 nectarine
2 lemons
2 pluots
1 yellow raspberrie box
1 red reaspberry box
1 blueberry box
1 bunch of grapes (about 1 pound)
1 bunch of radishes
1 bunch of leek
1 bunch of basil (yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
1 green onion bunch
3 corn on the cobs
1 head of lettuce
1 bunch of dill
1 bok choy
2 avocados
1 head of broccoli
1 bunch of spinach

4 flower bouquets


And, took a cute picture of the puppers. They were waiting to get a little bit of our left over elephant eyes.

Interesting Admittal

I saw this when I was reading some reviews on you tube. I thought it was interesting that someone actually admitted some wrong was done. It's great though that they had that passion and hoping we will have that same passion to change the world.

"We (babyboomers) started out with all the good intentions. All thats left is our music. We screwed up the rest. Hope you new generations have better luck. Rock on."

Portobello Sammy with yummy salads

So, I forgot completely to take pictures while make this but thought that its pretty easy.


Portobello Mushroom Burger with Spicy Avocado Sauce

Its actually a recipe off of Martha Stewart but it was really yummy so i thought I'd share

serves 2

2 large cleaned portobellos with stems removed

1 tblsp evoo

salt and pepper

1 ripe avocado that is roughly chopped

1 tblsp. spicy brown mustard

1 tblsp. horseradish

Juice of a fresh lime

1 jalapeno chopped ( with or without seeds/inner body for heat control)

2 hamburger buns ( i bought challah buns)

Tomato ( 1lg or a couple of small to put on top of your "burger"

Shredded Mozzarella for top of "burger"


Preheat oven to 425 and on a large rimmed baking sheet toss mushrooms with evoo and 2/3c. water and season to taste with s&p. place mushrooms stem sides down.

( i made this in a lg measuring glass and then poured the oil/water mixture over the mushrooms)

while baking, mash avocado with fork in a bowl. Stir in mustard, horseradish, lime juice, and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide rolls and toast them. Then place a portobello on top of roll with a little bit of tomato and shredded cheese.

Enjoy!

I served it with some Greek salad I bought at the grocery store and some corn on the cob.
