Tanglewood

Just when I thought another summer had blown by us without making a trip to Tanglewood, we realized it was the last weekend, this past weekend.  So I whipped up a quiche, loaded up the cart and we high tailed it over there. What a fabulous evening, if you haven’t heard or gone, make sure [...]

pinhole photography

Wow how awesomely cool is this… the longest pinhole photograph by German artist, Michael Wesley, found here… this is a 36 month long pinhole exposure, documenting the destruction and construction of the new MOMA building in NYC. What a trip.

smitten pt 2

Okay so it’s not quite the gorgeous Chloe sandals… but I have been coveting this garden wagon all summer, I just couldn’t pull the trigger on paying $187.95 got this.  Shoes yes, garden cart NO.  So I’ve been waiting patiently for the end of summer price plummet and lo and behold yesterday at Home Depot, [...]

I know I know summer is fast slipping away… but I still want these shoes… OMG love them! Oh baby be mine…. don’t look Mr Weiss!

my new favorite cake

In an effort to still try and have minimal use of my gammy arm, which in my opinion is not nearly healing fast enough! I slowly made this easy cake.   The results… YUM.  This is my favorite type of cake, moist, light, good crumb, not too sweet, subtle rosemary flavor, it’s really really good, [...]

county fair

OMG hands up who has been to a county fair??? Yesterday Mr Weiss and I scooted over to the 124th Annual Delaware County Fair… and how awesome was it? Totally awesome!  The animals were the real fun stuff, we watched pig judging, cow competition and some fancy horse footwork.  I capped off the experience with [...]

clams on the barbie

Okay so it’s not quite “shrimp on the barbie” but in an effort to mix up our summer grilling I decided to give clams a go. It’s low impact (due to the gammy-ness of my arm) and Mr Weiss chopped what was needed, which was not much.  Totally easy, try this for something different. Clams [...]

in the wars…

Well I’ve over done it. I have developed tendinitis (tennis elbow) in my right elbow rather majorly and in my left elbow, somewhat less majorly.  It is excruciatingly painful!! The only way to heal, along with what I am choosing to do, which is acupuncture, is REST, REST and more REST and minimal use of [...]

cucumber and chive

Unfortunately I cannot take credit for this genius recipe, I would try, but Mr Weiss would no doubt rat me out.  It’s based on one of our favorite Chinese dishes, cucumber with scallion sauce. Since we didn’t have any scallions but still a PLETHORA of chives, I mean I am inundated with chives. I’ve now [...]

rigatoni

Yip I grew me some peas and a boat load of kale… what to do with it all is another question, but in the meantime here’s a quick recipe using both. Rigatoni with Peas and Kale 1/2 medium onion sliced 6 cloves garlic sliced (yes I love garlic) 1/2 bunch kale thinly sliced 1/2 c [...]
