simply...e g g s t r a o r d i n a r y!

salad for breakfast?

 i spinach mine! ici!

 drizzle and dip...ici!

a morning "toastada" for me!...aquí!

ici!

on the weekend, i love brunching my buttered french bread.

(try this on toasted or grilled Panera sourdough...it's killer!)

...this morning, on 34th street

i am loving this brand of soft, (i mean soft ) handmade corn tortillas. 

on occasion, i take them to Italia by marrying them to pesto and sun dried tomatoes. 

sigh...

here's to endless, simple, creative, savory, yumminess!

yes, i ate the olives while i cooked!

to weekend starts!

 satisfied!

withLove!

soft autumn....

i know!

i have been totally m...i...a...!

longer hours at the clinic...carrying an extra workload for just a bit.

i'm half way there!

...so far...so good.

...smile.

...relief.

sipping the Verona this morning before i go.

a weekend sleepover at the grands!

(mama and daddy's very first weekend away.)

all of my attention went to them.

they soak it in and love it, and so do i!

i was channeling my inner Mary Poppins all weekend long.

it's no secret that magic always happens when i am with my grands!

:: ici ::

i also had my mommy radar going...

(i'm not the best sleeper as it is.)

home again...i didn't hear the alarm this morning.

 i did feel The Chocolate Gousse's cold nose on my cheek.

i was in the deepest sleep!
( thank you, grands! )

i was dreaming about mixing up some soft autumn

:: ici ::


colors and textures.

:: ici ::


...thinking of how i could carry them into the holidays!

:: ici ::


i am thankful and satisfied with autumn's earliest servings and

a lovely deep sleep dream.

what a perfect way to start the week and this season, for that matter!
