blossoms

P brought back some squash blossoms from his garden so that I could recreate the pizza as seen on Saveur's front cover. I substituted the cheese with creme fraiche, as Scala's Bistro prepares it.

Really just a picture of us at S&J's wedding. :) I think the bride and groom are in the back somewhere.

NY Philharmonic in the Park

A more uppety crowd attended this event, although not all normal concert antics were lost during this classical music concert. The group in front of us was entirely toasted. And there was a tremendous problem with women keeping their boobs in place. One women had hers just half covered (vertically), unabashedly waved her arms around, moving in all sorts of positions as if she had a full T-shirt on, and well lost some coverage briefly and gave us a show. It was inevitable.

i'm fancy

Outside: High of 85 degrees F, humid.

Inside: Feels like 65.

I have an office full-zip sweatshirt, scarf/shawl, and socks (Qantas airplane socks, really).

Today, I'm wearing everything. I'm wearing a yellow dress (thanks, E!), have the shawl over my shoulders, sweatshirt over my legs, and socks. I look ridiculous.

I don't leave my office wearing all of these things. Thus, it takes 30 seconds of preparation to remove all cover-up articles, though I keep the shawl.

Blasting the AC is such a waste of energy!

enjoy!

So much fun, so amazing. If you don't watch the show, this season they paired past, top dancers with newly casted dancers. Alex, the Asian guy, is the newbie and is a trained ballet dancer -- you'd never know it from this performance (aside from praps the storyline and the splits he does standing up). I was cheering for Alex during the performance in a manner very much like the choreographers and judges at the end, but in my own living room... alone. ;) Sometimes I just can't help myself.
