Sometimes I buy fruit just because it's so beautiful. 

hi there

This past weekend was a really fantastic one. I will be sharing more about my trip to visit Mary and Scott of Mary Flanagan Woolens later today or tomorrow morning, but I wanted to let you all know that I am here! I have just been too busy to write a real post lately, which is a good thing.

I finally made it to the Farmer's Market at Cathedral Square park on Saturday. This is something I have been meaning to do all summer, but for one reason or the other it hasn't worked out. It isn't a big market by any means, but it was great for flowers and produce. Of course it started raining the minute i got there, but that was not a deterrent for me!
Other activities from the weekend include an awesome estate sale where I picked up great vintage tea towels and wire baskets, hanging out with my mom whom I don't see enough of, setting up a projector and having movie night in our backyard and watching "Wet Hot American Summer" with friends, setting up a tent and camping in our own yard, and swimming in a pool that overlooks the beautiful lake while sipping mimosas with girlfriends. Yep, I packed all that in.

More to come...

saturday

summery breakfast.

mmmm...

i just made this recipe for Caramelized Tofu and it was so good. It was also very simple to make and substituting other vegetables in would be easy. I think it will be making an appearance pretty often this summer!

101 Cookbooks is my favorite resource for all kinds of recipes, and the food photography alone motivates me to try something new. Yum.
