These two plants on my bathroom window sill always crack me up. The one on the right with the over-extended "Arm" always reminds me of some guy in a bar trying a pick-up line on the prim and proper lady on the left.

A Shopping List by A Three Year Old
Emergency Early dismissal led to a three year old being home today. Got him to make the grocery list as went on errands. Funny how he thought our grocery store sold fur (mink?)
Brown Butter Pasta With Vegetables
Made this to go with some salmon for dinner. The bag of salmon recommended "brown butter pasta" so off I trotted to Google to find a recipe. Pasta tossed with brown butter (beurre noisette), mushrooms, garlic, onions and broccoli

This arrived on day 10, but I've been absent the last 2 days, and only got to photograph it today =(. Walked into a meeting on monday and was presented with this, the token our company gives out for years of service. 10 years = 2 Sapphire dots. Now that I think of it, i don't even know where my "5 year" badge is, but more importantly, it was kind of surreal to realise I've been in one place for the last 10 years.......

On any given day, this is the status of our fruit platter. When I do my routine grocery shopping, I have a straight path through the store that does not change significantly from day to day. Oranges, bananas, apples, lemons.
If I'm feeling fancy, grapes or something exotic like kiwis or mangoes may make an appearance.

Pizelles.
Delicate feathery light chocolate biscuits.
Courtesy of a bored stroll through Whole Foods while waiting for the kids to let out. Chocolate pizelles. Only 25 calories per serving. Makes it that much easier to chomp..errr..inhale..in.

Old Bottle, New Life
Old Bottle, New Life

One of the duds of our Xmas Party this year (the ONLY one, I must say) was when my husband opened this prized bottle of African after-dinner liquer, and poured it out into a glass in front of all the guests, and what emerged was clumps of fermented, way-past-sell-by-date...milk.
But my mom, who can never bring herself to throw anything away, was so smitten by the bottle, leopard-print-cloth-cover and all, that she washed it out, stuck in a rose bud from the garden and re-christened it.
I still think...FAIL.
