Three Things

Welcome back for Three Things Thursday! You can check out earlier installments here & here.

Pete & I were looking for a great Indian restaurant since our local one closed (and quite frankly, wasn't that great anyway) and checked out Seva in Astoria. The place is cozy with only about 12 tables & a super attentive staff of 400. Luckily they were attentive, but not overbearing.

Anyway, as an appetizer, I ordered the masala crab cakes. Holy moly were these delicious! They came with 2 sauces which both complimented the crab cake so well. As soon as I took my last bite, I was already planning to order these again soon!

Three Things Thursday

Hello hello! Time for the second installment of my newest feature Three Things Thursday! You can check out the first installment here.

NINJA BREAD MEN

What more can I say about these little cookie cut outs! How fun!! Hi-ya!!

Last week I was making fresh bread crumbs (it really helps if your husband can bring home freshly made bread every single day, if he so chooses) in the blender. As it whipped around I thought, "This is probably what the inside of Lucy's brain looks like." Just a loud whirlwind of crumbs.

I have not been able to get this image out of my mind since! She's a crazy & hyperactive little girl. She often bolts off for no reason & is voracious at playtime. She will hunt you a mouse. Or straw. Or piece of tin foil. Or Peach.  She's ridiculous :) <3

 

Lastly - Sock Monkeys!! I only have one & my mom recently got me another (after she saw how excited I was about it - it's RAINBOW! - when she was going to gift it to a grandchild. hehe.. I'll always be her baby!)

I have a hard time ignoring these guys but have successfully NOT started a collection...yet. Although these little babies look perfect for my couple o' monkeys ;)

Three Things Thursday

Don't you love alliteration? I'm starting a new "segment"... 3 Things Thursday! Three things I'm obsessed with and loving! ... or liking... or noticed....or find interesting... etc etc. :)

Irish macaroons!! I was walking down a NY street and stopped dead in my tracks (which is AWESOME for the people behind me...and I love when tourists do that) because I was drawn to this display!! 

I never knew that these type of macaroons existed until Pete brought them home from pastry school. I was only aware of the coconuty version. Can you tell I'm not French?

What I am though, is Irish! (1/2) I walked straight in and then realized the cost and walked straight out! Haha! I will have to wait until payday for these babies!

Peach's paws!
Because I'm a thinly veiled cat lady & love my camera, I often get down on the ground to her level and get some up close photos and candids. Peach is a big ol' bear and she has giant paws. They're cute. Sometimes we hold hands/paws while watching television.

Remember the days of film? I used to be so excited to run down to CVS and see what developed, only to see I had my eyes closed in 3 of them, my finger over the lens in 2, and about 9 generally bad shots. Thank God for digital! haha :)


Mac & Cheese Cups!!

Holy moly... I was reading Emily's blog over at Cupcakes & Cashmere, lazily browsing, when these babies caught my eye.  OMGosh!! I loooove little miniature things. LOVE. I love tiny spoons and tiny cups and tiny whisks and tiny spatulas. Tiny frames, tiny Lego people, tiny EVERYTHING. I can't wait to make these for my next get together!!
