Week/ends

Been road biking a lot lately, took this shot while in motion. Ya.

Drank my blood orange martini so fast, didn't have time for a before shot

My cousins farm fresh eggs

My mother skied Tucker man's ravine. Bad Ass Bitch.

Naughty.


Made this heavenly lunch yesterday.

Braids and Bread








        I have always been a huge fan of braids; however, I didn't have sisters to practice on or patience to learn.  I did learn to fishtail this summer and it was life changing.  There really is nothing like a messy braid on a hot summer night or cool spring day.  Which made me think of bread...I love bread and I love braids and here are some breads that could inspire some fashion friendly hair!

This is a regular blondie braid.

This is an ombre hair bread...so in right now!

This is a fishtail  hair bread, stuffed with fruit and cheese could you die?

Toad Stools!

Happy Easter/passover/spring equinox...I made meringue shrooms.  Although I am no baker, these little guys were too cute and festive not to try and make.  They are time consuming, but people got a kick out of them so they were worth the pain in the ass.
Little spring toad stools!

Some resembled mushrooms

Final display
I used this Recipe
Here's what they look like when a skilled baker makes them @cupcakesandcashmere

Goodness




Here's a letter Fiona Apple wrote to a student regarding love and goodness.  I seriously love words and their power more than most things and she nailed this one.  Cheers

   This week was in the 80's in New York...talk about summer fever, I was sweating all week in work while sneezing from allergies, oh and I made the switch to iced coffee.  It's funny there's this one time of year that the whole world changes and everyone switches from hot to iced coffee...I love that.  This weekend I went unexpectedly to Lake Placid and it was like summer up there...I got a sun burn people; however, I don't know if I got the sunburn from my morning bike ride or while drinking beer on a patio.  Hard To Tell.  I also saw the Hunger Games this weekend and it was surprisingly great!  I read the book series and liked it, but I almost think the movie was better...which is sinful, I KNOW.  Anyway, I took note that the lead actress Jennifer Lawrence looked a lot less hungry than most of Hollywood, which is ironic and refreshing, I also love that.  After I went to dinner with some folks and gawked at a table of huge bicep-ed black men ordering expensive things, obviously I asked if they were football players because I had too much wine; turns out they're martial artists and I'm nosy/need a life.  Curiouser Curiouser.  All in all I'm ready for summer, but it's now freezing again...the joys of New England.
