vitamix blender | vino2go | brass fly | simply organic chophouse seasoning
someecards desktop calendar | toast heated clothes | brooklyn work table
oooh, some things on this list i reeeeheeeheeeelly want. rill bad. good thing christmas is comin' up!
a recent diet change has led to me grubbing on grass (well, green smoothies) for breakfast, and this blender would help me tons. but, why, oh why does it hafta be $400+?? is it made of gold? | can we file this under why didn't i think of that? pure.genius! now, i can take my wine roadie sodie without worrying about wearing it. kinda wish the cup wasn't clear, but...details. | this little fly would be the perfect halloween decor. and, you can hide some candy in its sneaky compartment. | my diet change has also banished all MSG from the casita, so i was sorely lacking in the spice dept. i found this chophouse seasoning at whole foods, and it's filled the void. put it on steak, fish, potatoes, veggies, your finger. | do you love someecards as much as i do? sarcasm is my second language. and, if i could ever decide on a desk, this calendar would look poifect on it!
speaking of desks, 'member when i mentioned i wanted to redo the office? in january? we're still no closer to that pipe dream, but that doesn't mean i've given up. this work table might just be what my life's been missin'. come to mama. | and, heated clothes? seriously? no really, why.didn't.i.think.of.that?? if you know me, you know i'm ALWAYS freezing. (maybe cuz the heat nazi keeps the casita at a balmy 65, but whatevs.) i'd like to get to know these clothes...and, then never take them off. (you'd tell me if i started to stink, right?)
hope you're not disappointed i didn't veer more toward the halloween persuasion for this list. what are you pining for? started your christmas list? what's on it that i have to have??
i'm trying to be better about taking pictures of life happening around me. i can't tell you how many times i get home and smack myself in the head for not documenting an experience. so, here's the latest glimpse into wha's happenin' 'round these parts.
empty plates @ stellar pizza | wine tasting = my fave sport | heavenly sunshine
sunset and water out my front window | cherry red tulips | steamy, yummy goodness
80s cover bands rule | a peek @ baby sister's various weddin' projects
this will be my little reminder to stop and smell the roses. what have you been up to? are you good about documenting all the joy going on around you?
ok, i'm sure you've all jumped on the pinterest bandwagon already. but, if you haven't, allow me to lure you to the darkside.
pinterest is your personal online bulletin board to 'pin' anything - ANYTHING - you see as you're trottin' around the interwebs. (or you can just click around pinterest and repin all the cute things there, whichever!) you can make as many boards as you want, and pin as much as you want, and it's the.most.ADDICTING.thing.ever. ever.
look, you can pin ideas for your house:
for your tummy:
and, for your biz:
my favorite part might be the searching. you can just type in, say, oh, i don't know, robert pattinson. what? and, look at all the lovely goodness you get.
so, come on. follow me. i'll follow you. all the cool kids are doing it. you just let me know, and i'll send you an invitation!
but, don't say i didn't warn ya!
when you're from new mexico, you always have 3 things in the house - green chile (from hatch, duh), jalapeños (the hotta, the betta), and salsa (no, pace is NOT salsa). so, as i was whipping blending up the latest batch of salsa, i thought you, my 3 readers, might want the recipe. yes, yes?
it's the easiest thing you'll ever make. promise.
first, grab the goods (diced toms, jalapeños, garlic salt)
dump it all in the blendy
give it a whirl (chunkalicious) or two (saucalicious)
QA time - give 'er a taste and tinker with the salt and jalapeño ratio, if you gotta (try not to eat the whole batch straight from the blendy)
i know you'll be keepin' it all to yourself, but here's an idea for ya! toss it into a mason jar, slap a cutesie tag on it and give it away to yer friends.
EL RECIPE-O:
EASIEST (and most deelish) SALSA EVER
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes (or 1 can diced toms and 1 can rotel)
1/4 - 1/2 cup jarred jalapeños or 1 fresh jalapeño
1 - 2 Tbsp garlic salt
toss it all in the blender and mix to your favorite consistency.
now, you may be thinking, where are the onions? (barf) or i need me some cilantro in my salsa. (double barf) well, i don't like either of those things, so they got no bizness in my salsa. but, hey, you like onions and cilantro, g'head, toss them in, too.
if you wanna make a mean salsa verde, just substitute the diced toms with a few tomatillos. (dehusk those bad boys before tossing them in tho; maybe give 'em a rough chop, too.)
after you make your batch, come tell me all about it. how'd it taste? what'd ya substitute? give me all the deets.
