Buildings, Mushrooms, and Books!

Some fun city shots I took (...in a moving car... on my phone!)







A cool mushroom in my yard (I don't know why this is underlined!)
Prettiness from J.Crew

I also saw a really great window display at Anthropologie (as usual), but I was moving too quickly to snap a shot!

Post Turkey Day Recap

I hope you all had a happy and scrumptious T-jivin! Although I was a bit too infatuated with the food to even snap pics of it, I did catch some Pilgrims and Native Americans romping around in my yard in the morning....

Kudos to Sylvester Graham (An American Advocate of Dietary Reform) ... and Martha Stewart

I have been seeing recipes for homemade graham crackers for a while, and I couldn't find one I really liked... that is until I saw the Martha Stewart's cookie of the day: Graham Crackers!

I substituted the all-purpose flour with Spelt flour to give it a heartier taste and, of course, added extra cinnamon. I also added a touch of chili pepper powder for an extra bite!




( I love the fact that the recipe doesn't call for eggs, so the dough was 100% edible!)

I don't think I rolled them out quite thin enough, so they ended up kind of like tea cookies, but I left them out for the night to stale up a bit, and they definitely tasted much better (more graham-cracker-esque)!

Happy November!


It always seems like the fall goes by too quickly, and before I know it, winter's here! Though I grumble about the cold (let's face it, who doesn't?), I do love snow -- and cute boots to romp in the snow!

Please note that not all of these are appropriate for snow, but I just really like them ;)



Jimmy Choo for Hunter (note the cute leopard lining)

And cutie little froggie!


Sorry for the lack of boots... I will have more I promise [with color]! I just got side-tracked hunting for a pair of frog rain boots I had as a kid... great way to spend a whole half hour! But seriously I can't find them ANYWHERE!
