cuban food

I was perusing the web today and found THIS recipe for Guava Cream Cheese Pastry, and thought to myself "Tony would die if he saw this!"

Why you ask?

Well, about two years ago during one of our visits to his home in Miami I was introduced to the very interesting combination of guava and cream cheese. Of course this was also eaten with canned coconut (sweet as hell) and it was so odd for me ( a new england girl) eating this totally foreign guava paste and canned coconut with cream cheese! But alas, this is really a good combo despite my qualms, and now it is in Gourmet! Tony is laughing and telling me "I told you so" as I write this.

Stitch House

Finding awesome new fabric shops in Boston! I place that has a severe absence of fashionable fabric stores.


Clickhere to go to the best new thing in Dorchester! Can you handle that fact that they have workshops, a blog, knitting stuff and fabric... I almost can't! So excited!!!!

Love This:

A very unique Banana holder indeed! Love the idea that without Bananas it is sculptural piece and at night it is a light! Fantastic!

Loving this right now

I've been aware of these pieces for a while now, and just as summer is coming to an end and I'm holding on dearly to those last few sweltering nights I'm returning to these fresh, simple and ultra cute ceramics. MUST SEE WEBSITE!

EVIT : Glass mosaic tiles

These are incredible! The bubbles are so fantastic, but far too trendy to actually use (considering the cost of installation). However the second picture of the "broken glass" is so crisp and fantastic that I would be tempted to do entire rooms out of that stuff! Ugh so hott! Love Italianmosaics, but not as much as I love Spanish ones!

about that time

Can't really believe that I totally blow this thing off now. I'm not used to having a real work week people! I need to get back on the blog and write something interesting for my own sanity and peace of mind. Speaking of sanity... does anybody know anything about fixing '95 Toyota Corolla? No- that image above is not my car, however I'm sure Tony wishes it was!

It's about blue-thirty

Or maybe quarter to pink!

Cyclopse Watch by Mr.Jones uses colors instead of numbers, it kinda makes feel all tingly inside.
