Favorite Things

Hi all some more additions

1.) Le Crueset- I picked up two of these tiny pots to put soups and desserts in.. I love it! I bought one in this color and one in a vibrant green. I'm sure in 20 years I'll look at them and wonder why I bought this color but I like to think they will go with my mom's matching avacado green ones



2.) Riesenthal Farmers Basket- I love to take this to the farmers market and fill it up with veggies and fruits.




3.) Sunset Magazine- www.sunset.com this is may's cover and what made me fall in love with it. I will be going to stay at this sometime in the near future. I HOPE!



4.) Sex and the City the movie- love love love this movie and of course the costumes. Amazing!



5.) My new owl necklace bought from the Santa Monica Flea Market- mine is silver and doesn't have quite such a crazy looking face but i :HEART: it




I'm headed to the midwest for almost a week. yay! I can't wait to go. I'm going to try and bring back some fresh rhubarb to make my own pies without using grocery store frozen. blach. Also, my girlfrined, Stacey is getting married on Friday. YAY! I am so happy for them. I hope that this marriage brings them all that they have ever hoped for. They are so right for eachother. OK..enough of the mushy lovey goopey stuff.

Hope everyone is doing well.

love and kisses

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.
