the finer things.
Well, I wouldn’t be a true Frenchie if I didn’t devote at least one post to culinary delights! These are some of the pretty little scenes happening in and around the kitchen area lately… dinner parties, a mix of new vegetarian recipes (roasted grape and gorgonzola bruschetta = my new obsession), beautiful birthday and Valentine’s Day flowers, and a very provocatively named bottle of red wine. I hope you all remember to enjoy the finer things in life, even if they are as simple as fragrant roses resting on a fresh loaf of bread…
in a new york minute.
I love big cities but the speed, soot and intensity of New York always freaks me out a little bit when I see it after a long absence. Apparently, all I needed to get back in the swing of it all was an indulgent dessert and a window seat in a Soho coffee shop… Then again, cupcakes seem to solve most problems, don’t they? But I digress… I suppose what came of this photo diary were not the sirens, steel and concrete that seemingly define New York, but rather the pretty little corners of this chaotic city that are there if you just look for them…
May all of you carry your rose-colored glasses with you wherever your road takes you…
XOXO
