chocolate dresses.

this week i've realized how much I love being settled in one place. i've also realized that I am ready to take flight. let's move the train on. i'm ready to, as Bob dylan put it best "the answer is blowin' in the wind" it's time.

as the weather get's warmer, and my bike and tom's become my only means of transportation, i feel like never stopping.
the answer is blowing in the wind, and I am ready to find it.

just a few short weeks until we take our school bus to Bonnaroo, not sure where we are headed after that, but we will be going! we'll be going to a few festivals, pond parties, and lot's of cracker barrels i'm sure. I am just ready to go, arise and shine little light!


on another note i stayed up really late last night perfecting a flourless, sweetened with raw honey, vegan chocolate cake! i am pleased so far. i also finished a dress that i started! made from an old bed sheet! i was also pleased with it.

this week is all about food.

this week all we've done is cook and eat, and eat some more!

wednesday night Robert and I had a cook out to celebrate, 1-our new grill! and 2-our anniversary! tomorrow will be 1 year married to the sweetest man ever! the best man, mu hubby! the cook out was great! complete with pom martinis, homemade black bean burgers, and old time jams!







then on thursday night, I teamed up with a friend, Cary Stringer to provide a fabulous dinner party! salmon wrapped up with goats cheese and spinach, sweet potatoes, a strawberry spinach salad, and lots of wine!

this week was great, i may have to go on another detox just to feel good again! it was all delicious and I am grateful for friends who enjoy gathering and eating, it's such a passion of mine!

today we start our celebration of our anniversary! lot's of brunches, fancy dinners and staying at fancy hotels! very excited!

showers + louisville, ky.

Sunday morning I woke up and Robert helped me make some sweet little shortbreads for my lovely friend Christina's Bridal Shower. She is getting married in less then 2 months! It is so crazy! We are so happy for Christina and Byron!

Robert was so helpful with the cookies!

All of this happened yesterday, along with Robert's brilliant idea to spontaneously drive to Louisville, KY to buy a vintage brown propane stove for our bus! It's so petit and cute! It's a nice sunburst brown on the outside with a vintage blue inside. 3 burners, that's all i need on the bus! we made a fun trip out of it, and got to see good friends, and spend a lot of time in this amazing hotel! There was a art museum in it! what!?
