Amazing Book!

You might recall last summer when I recommended that you check out The Expats by Chris Pavone.  That was my favorite book in a long time. Until now. Chris has written another fantastic book and I think it might even be better than The Expats.

Run, don't walk to get your copy.  And prepare to miss out on sleep because this one will keep you reading all night long!

Ziplist- get it!

Ok, I'm obsessed with Ziplist.  I can admit it.  But who wouldn't be? A place to store your favorite recipes that will also compile a shopping list of the ingredients for you?  And it has its own app so the list is available on your phone? Love it!

Click here to see what I'm talking about.

And now so many sites and bloggers are getting on board by posting links which will allow their yummy recipes to be added right in to your account. Which means less printing, copying and pasting leaving more time for eating. Perfect.

You must try it.  Or maybe you have?

Freezer to Crockpot experiment

Today I spent the better part of my afternoon shopping, prepping and cooking about 20 freezer to crockpot dinners. We had one tonight (Chicken Tikka Masala) that was unbelieveable. So happy! I hope the rest come out as well. 

Heartbreakingly beautiful

Today I was in Trader Joes and they had tomatoes so beautiful that I cried.  Literally cried. 

The last time I saw tomatoes this beautiful they had been grown just for me.  Come to think of it, maybe that's what made me cry. 

End of summer

Just cut up the last of the Mattapoisett tomatoes. Sad. 

But a sprinkle of smoked salt flakes, a grind of pepper and a drizzle of good balsamic will do them justice. 

Simply Orange High Pulp

I love OJ. I like it by itself, with a little seltzer to lighten it up and of course with champagne as a mimosa.  And I like pulp. So when I was at the store and saw a high pulp option I thought, 'sign me up!' 

Well after one glass the jury is back and Simply Orange High Pulp is a definite no.  

Unless you like an inch of goop at the bottom of your glass.  Then this is the juice for you.
