Did I go over a month without posting a single thing here? Yes, yes I did. But I have really good excuses. I’ll tell you all about them:
I moved to a new place! The old place had charm, but it also had vermin-friends living in the ceiling/walls and an asshole landlord. C’est la vie. My new place has AMENITIES, not the least of which is a jacuzzi tub(!!!). Unpacking has been slow and painful since the new place has a fraction of the storage space the old place did, but the end is in sight. Regardless, the packing/moving/unpacking has been keeping me very occupied (not to mention those pesky jobs eating up my blogging time). More photos to come as the place comes together.
Besides the move I’ve managed to take some photos here and there of other activities that are not blog-updation:
Also, I’ve been working on an illustration, it’s not finished yet but here’s a little piece of the puzzle:
Eat your hearts out,
Lots and lots of work and little else. That’s my excuse for not posting here in a dogs age. But more on that later.
I can see the gears of summer are in full motion (people in very little clothing with excessive sunburn) but it’s looking like the summer of 2011 is mostly about putting away fun and taking care of business for me. So in an effort to grab a little bit of summer for myself I’d like to submit to you, dear reader, Summer Scraps: a collection of summery flickr photos to ease my indoor kid blues.

Hot nights, sunny afternoons, thunderstorms, mischief and bare flesh. The best parts of summer.
Eat your hearts out,
Life is a-moving at super-speeds as of late. Therefore, I’m gonna try to keep this brief since I should probably be doing something more “productive” than blogging. I give you in no particular order, photographic evidence of events of late incluting but not limited to a giant head sculpture by David Platter, the Shangri-Lounge, and a recent pedicure.
That’s all for now, squirrels. Thanks for stopping by, and remember to keep eating your heart out,
As previously stated on this here blog, I love Mardi Gras. In fact, I was born in Louisiana, therefore I feel a particular affinity for the place, the customs, and THE FOOD. That said, I’d like to regale you with some [frequently unflattering] photos I stumbled upon from a Mardi Gras party Agent Mistretta and I threw a couple years back. Let the good times roll:
A little sauced…
There are a few more photos to look at here!
Now I have only to endure the rest of the work day, go home and throw a magnificent party. I’ll be serving homemade gumbo, red beans and rice and king cake (nummmm). Pictures to come of food and the debauchery that will surely ensue.
Eat your hearts out,
I said I would post photos of food items cooked over the course of “Eat-in January” and since I’m a woman of my word, I give you highlights to feed your food porn addiction, you dirty bird:
Kale Hash: packed full of all the tasty bits your body needs + your taste buds will sing in delight
Pizza from scratch: this is a very rewarding dish, you’ll feel like a million bucks when it tastes like a million bucks. I followed this recipe for the crust. BTW, less is more when it comes to sauce.
Huevos Rancheros: Easy breakfast you can throw together in minutes. We always have black beans on hand for huevos emergencies.
Steak and Vegetable Pie: Holy fuck, this was AMAZING. I very loosely followed this recipe. Threw in dried herbs as I pleased and the result was such a delight.
Taco customizables for our “walking tacos” party. If you are unfamiliar with the ambulatory taco, it might be for the best, but if you’d like to learn more click here.
Fun Fact: Arthur Bryant’s delicious meat candy was our first venture back out into the wild and untamed restaurant world. Noms.
Eat your hearts out babies,
Sometimes serious, mostly sassy, frequently loud, seldom perky and always fancy.
