my new obsession

speaking of delicious, my new obsession is watermelon salsa. so easy to make and sooooo yummy.

you can find a super simple recipe here.

who knew?

that american samoa & the northern mariana islands had their own quarters?

have sharpie, will deface

uh oh, there is a moustache bandit on the loose in the subway...

somehow, i think andy would approve.

really, buble?

a man-gagement ring? really?

dear mta,

if the train is - in fact - coming in 20 minutes, i think i'd prefer not to know. just a sayin'.

who approved this? (accessories edition)

as submitted by TFAAF reader SRB: "who approved this hot pink faux hair bow comb?!"

my new hobby

...is taking online surveys. i get served a ton. some questions are just absurd:

um, have no interest in going to a razor blade website, but thanks for asking.

nor, do i need a hot pocket e-card, but thanks for offering.

and, what survey would be complete without a survey of the survey?

why yes, it was delightful.

kids got the beat

flossy, flossy.

gets me every time

i heart peter's epic battles vs. the chicken.

overheard

"You know, when eat I'm, like, a savage, you know? With, like, rotisserie chicken, you know?"

no, actually. i don't know.

who knew?

that there is an actual marvin (sic) gardens from monopoly. and, incidentally, the only space on the board not within the city limits of atlantic city.

speaking of gardens...

remember the garden i planted with my dad a few months back? it's totally lush now!

yummy veggies

and for dinner i made a delish israeli couscous with roasted cherry & grape tomatoes from the garden, paired with the best broccoli of your life.

yummy and way better than those vegan muffins from last week.

dear yahoo!

i think you need to give jimmy choo/saks their money back for serving me that ad...SO not the target market.

this little gnome...

will be outtie for a few days - beach, then stalking kings of leon as per usual.

it's so damn hot

jamón!

somehow, this has turned into a culinary theme for me this week.

note: not vegan.

i can get behind this

a wander home through central park

half naked man in kanye glasses & kangaroo jumps bouncy shoes teaching a fitness class.

strawberry fields - i'd actually never been there.

overheard: "was this where he was shot?" um, no.

bethesda in shadow.

a model boat on the water.

alice & co.

'twas brillig...

literally? literally.

now really, don't we all literally feel like a cow about to moo sometimes?

this brings back memories

muffin of the week

...is a vegan vanilla peach muffin. oh yes, vegan - agave nectar, ground flaxseed, soy milk, etc.

unfortch, not my best work. to quote my cousin, "use the eggs. they r required for a reason."

is this thing over yet?

honestly - enough already. but wait...where is the honeymoon??

just plain coco loco

diapers.

for chickens.

you cannot make this bizarroness up.

coco to the loco.

dear yahoo!

it's august 1st...NOT back to school time yet.

there's still 7 more weeks of summer left, so let's not rush it, ok? thanks.
