Everything is Always Greener...

A few clips from a family trip to CO.

"The Dude"

Have you ever seen The Big Lebowski? It really is one of my all time favorites. I mean, you can't really go wrong with Jeff Bridges and John Goodman! For those of you who haven't seen this cult classic, Jeff Bridges plays a character called Jeffrey Lebowski (aka The Dude). Throughout the film, The Dude enjoys a few (or many) White Russian cocktails.

This recipe is actually inspired by a milkshake from Little Bigs in Houston, Texas. It's amazing!

two ounces Vodka

two ounces Kahlua

two scoops Vanilla Ice Cream

Blend and enjoy one-two servings of adults only delicious goodness.

"The Dude abides."

Surfboard Racks

New home improvement project: get the surfboards off the floor! Now the question is, what to put underneath them?

(ugh, these white walls are so blah)

Hand Embroidered

I'm in love with this pillow! I wish they had an Orange County dish towel.

Happy Birthday Dodo

There's no one else I'd rather share a happy meal with!

I'm doing laundry and packing...exciting, eh? Well, it is exciting! The man and I are heading up north tomorrow. But, what's really exciting is why we're headed up north: my lifelong friend is getting married! So happy for you, K!

Farfalle Dish

E.V. Olive Oil + Garlic + Sausage + Flat Leaf Parsley + Farfalle + Romano = Yum!

ps: My new favorite kitchen tool is this little guy.

pps: Did you know farfalle is Italian for butterfly?
