Razzle. Dazzle.

Decorating small spaces. Baking for my husband. Becoming a city girl and figuring out my new home, Boston.

Plus many things that I love or make me think.

Hybrid Island

One of my best, best friends is an amazing writer.  This will give you chills… and make you want to book a ticket to Hong Kong, or anywhere, immediately.

Good job, honey bunny!!  (via micahstover)

I want to get this book before I take the longest flight of my life!  Boston to Phoenix.  (Yay!!) Yes, I have been out of the country, but Mexico isn’t far from Tennessee.

ktkatherine: Restaurant-supply-style shelves from IKEA keep canisters and teacups within reach, and, with the stainless-steel refrigerator and stove, signify what this homeowner calls “urban cottage.” (via Kitchen Decorating - Ideas for Decorating Your Kitchen - Country Living)

suitep: apsiesinthekitchen: There is nothing I love more, food wise, than a good potato. I know there are much healther veggies to consume but I can’t help it. I served these with dinner last night and they were to die for. Individual Scalloped Potatoes - The Noshery (photo via The Pioneer Woman) 8 whole medium potatoes1 stick Butter 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese ½ cups Scallions, Chopped 12 teaspoons Half-and-half Salt And Pepper Pierce potatoes with fork, sprinkle with salt, wrap in damp paper towel and microwave for 15 minutes. Potatoes should be firm. Set aside and let cool till they can be handled, then slice. Place 1/2 Tbsp pats of butter in each mold of the muffin/cupcake pan, then a slice of potatoes, a pinch of salt and pepper, then cheese and scallions. Repeat layers: potato, salt & pepper, cheese, scallions. (I only did 2 layers, but I suggest going up to 3.) Top each mold with another pat of butter and drizzle each with 1 tsp of half-and-half. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes, until cheese is melted and potatoes are brown. Reblogging because I fully intend to try making these over the holidays. The only thing I would do differently would be to actually bake the potatoes beforehand, instead of nuking them.  Reblogging because we may be spending some holiday time here in Boston and I need some ideas for a holiday feast!

“i think that if you look uncomfortable you don’t look good and that’s something i see in a lot of people, like, running down the street in these awful shoes…it’s like, you don’t have any swagger, you look crazy, just wear flats!”

To Rilke...

micahstover:

You must change your life,

the poet said.

But into what, I wondered?

and how?

I want to be moved,

rattled at the foundation

torn splinters in my being

until what is left

is all that matters.

Is it love?

or beauty?

the rush of fear?

or the high of substance?

remembering, discovering, forgetting.

I wander about the corridors

of my memory

searching for something constant.

And I think it is this,

this longing to stumble upon something

essential, or pure, or true,

something that is both real and tangible

and something that must be suspended in faith.

I have traveled in circles,

Going, coming.

Seeking, finding.

It seems it’s never enough.

But should it be?

What is enough?

Enough growth.

Enough magic.

Enough peace.

Perhaps I am ok with wanting more,

with living constantly on the brink of the end,

the precipice of beginning.

And so someday,

To some young aspiring poet, so too, shall I

turn and say,

You must change your life.


And you must change it daily.

Micah, this is amazing!!  Bravo, dahling!!

New celeb crush.  Jason Segel.  Why just now, you ask?  Haven’t you seen How I Met Your Mother?  Yes, but “Marshall” actually bugs me on the show.  What about Forgetting Sarah Marshall?  Loved it, but, ”eh.”  Until last night, when he appeared in my dreams and everything changed.  This has happened before… years ago, when everyone was in love with Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains, I liked the little brother, Ben Sevier (Jeremy Miller).  The weirdo.  Why?  Because one night I had a dream I was babysitting with him and I was forever changed.  I felt a connection to him.  Does this happen to anyone else?   I actually feel like I spent real time with Jason last night.  We shared a moment.   And now I am obsessed.  Yes, I am happily married, so thank God this didn’t happen IRL.  But damn.  :)
