Tailgate Upgrade

adminUncategorized%s Comments

 

My tailgating has always been more of the beer and brats (and in my collegiate glory days, jello shots) variety but this looks absolutely lovely.  The older I get, the more I can’t seem to find an occasion where bubbles aren’t the perfect beverage.

Wishing you a happy, bubbly, farmer’s market, long run, college football-filled Saturday!

“Rather than writing down his thoughts in a notebook, like a normal person, Robert Montgomery chooses to take a slightly more unconventional approach. The London-based artist hijacks large billboards and back-lit bus stops to share urban poetry with the world around him. Montgomery also builds his own illuminated signs. Clearly, he has a lot to say…”

Red Wine Chocolate Cake

adminUncategorized%s Comments

I don’t know about you but this chilly weather has made me absolutely ravenous.  I was running errands today and even though I had a perfectly reasonable breakfast and lunch, it was all I could do to not stop in every bakery and restaurant I saw and stuff my face.

My body must still remember the never ending hibernation of Chicago Winter 2011.

Cue scouring my favorite foodie websites and finding this fabulous Red Wine Chocolate Cake.  In a list of my top 5 favorite things, red wine, chocolate and cake are probably numbers 1-3 so to find a recipe with all of them in the title, I mean, seriously, just stop.  Not to mention, it requires little to no shopping- trust me, there is red wine and chocolate in our apartment at all times.

I’m doing a test run of this bad boy tonight and if it turns out as delish as that picture looks, it has won itself a spot on the menu for the inaugural Dinner Club next month.

Note to Self

adminUncategorized%s Comments

“Choose Life over the other stuff. Get out of your head. Live. Dress up. Eat. Touch people. Help out. Give up. Love people. Give your best away. There’s more. What’s the problem? Relax. You’re going to die. Throw a party. Eat off my plate. Sing to me. Meet me in the bedroom. Get a massage. Give one. Let your amazement out into the room. Pry open the box you hide your joy in. Be a poem.”
