Spread.

After trying to get into the place for weeks, the girls & I finally made a trip out to Spread in North Park. Raved about my Tyler Florence, among other celebrity guests, Spread is actually all about the catering business but occasionally opens its doors to us plain folks for a little vegan treat. Served in large platters to share for the whole crew, dishes are created daily and represent the restaurant's theme: "nouveau comfort food." 

Pucker Up

While home for the holiday, we always like to treat ourselves to a extra special cocktail - during turkey day, we attempted a sweet concoction from a clementine that turned out to be a little too sweet for our taste-buds (surprisingly enough), so during Christmas it was back to a classic: the lemon drop. The bright yellow sugar was a little startling, but the homemade limoncello was a must. 

Print & Paper

I love finding hidden talent through social media, and after someone I follow tweeted about an amazing flickr post, I couldn't help myself but look - and fell in love as well! This would look great on my picture wall, when I get back to putting up all my pictures soon

Greens, Green are Good for the Heart

Sometimes fresh produce sounds so delicious - especially on really hot days or when I've eaten too many potato chips the night before. If greens aren't on my plate this evening, it's not going to be a good one.

Fluff & Stuff

I really think all I need right now is a comfy chair, a nice reading lamp & some time...

YUM

A whole hearted attempt at consuming a delicious meal at Hash House a Go Go in San Diego. While it was amazing, clearly I couldn't do this meal justice. Fortunately, it made a great dinner as well.

Happy Halloween

This Halloween, instead of carving pumpkins, we decided to decorate our house. Luckily, our adventure took up to Julien this year, where we found the perfect accessory to any October themed party - apples. Along with a baskets of red, green and golden apples we added a few sparkly touches to the house to spark up our spirits for the spooky holiday.

Accessories at a Ball

I always love finding hidden gems at special events, restaurants or shops, and during my weekend adventure at M.Dot's Gatsby Affair Fall 2010 fashion show at the W Hotel, that's just what happened. While waiting to say congrats to the designer, I captured a few classic cameras, head scarves wrapped around plastic mannequins and vintage costume jewelry. It got us thinking about accessories; any pop can truly make or break an outfit....or the ambiance of an affair. Perfect.

Halloween with Caramel Apples

After picking and consuming too many apples this weekend, and spotting the recent posting on one of my favorite blogs, I couldn't image not celebrating Halloween without a few caramel apples. Simple and straight to the point, it didn't even matter that they weren't the most gorgeous of specimens (let's hope the next batch gets a little better!) because they tasted delicious!
