Bellydancing and Zonolite St.

By
Today I am grateful for many things:  birthdays, memories, being able to afford things I don't necessarily need....
I can finally release photos of Noel's birthday cake. Happy for that one. This cake literally has my sweat and tears in it. No blood...that's gross. I did get so frustrated at one point that I started crying. But, finished product, I think, looked better than it should've. I thank Paige for her help in this whole process. Her AC was a lifesaver.




Last night was a lot of fun, as well. There were a lot of Noel's friends there. We finally got seated around 9:30....and Noel had already drank 3 mojitos. As soon as he sat down, Simon had bought him shots. Of course, he's so friendly, so he bought me one, too. Thanks, Simon. The night just kind of went downhill (in a good way) from there. Kat came out too!!! So happy that Russell came to dinner. It was nice to have some Boozers, Cruses, and Dollars all together.

Tonight Noel and I went to Nicola's. Amazing foods. Lebanese and delicious. Nicola's also happens to be where Lindsay and Will had their rehearsal dinner. Nicola is a friend of Louisa (Will's mom) and he's amazing. He dances and laughs and smiles. Noel really enjoyed it too. Here is a video of Nicola:

And another of the bellydancing:


Their foods are delicious:

We went shopping with some of Noel's birthday money today and I realized how many times we both said "I want" and "I need." I had to stop and realize how grateful I was to be able to afford luxuries in life. I know that many cannot even buy things that they really need, let alone want. I am making it a new goal to stop saying "I want" and "I need" as much.

Zonolite street is where I have decided I want to move. It's just the most awesome name for a street ever. Thank you and, goodnight.

Athens and artichokes

By
Today I am grateful to live in Athens. ITs a small community but a great one. One where little ol me can get into the newspaper twice in one year. I'm not too excited about the photo they chose of me but there was no caption so hopefully the banner herald readers will not know it was me. http://onlineathens.com/stories/080210/liv_689380630.shtml Tonight Lindsay Will and I made paneer spinach and artichokes that we dipped in butter and bernaise. So delicious. And very round: Toby was quite jealous. He had a few leftovers, though. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone Location: Normal Ave,Athens-Clarke County,United States

Seen and Sewn Together Blog Tour

By
I’m Claire of Claire_Crafted . I’m an avid sewist – but only in the free time I have after my day job (health policy work) and spending time with my husband and toddler. Arielle from Seen & Sewn Patterns graciously allowed me to participate with the hack I did of the Aspen Tank pattern. The pattern is super simple, so it left lots of room for creativity – which is exciting but can sometimes be overwhelming at the same time! Ultimately, I decided that the pink clay linen I bought from Stone Mountain and Daughter Fabrics went perfectly with the adorable cotton raccoon fabric I bought at the Denver quilt show last spring. I also only had one yard of it, so the size of the yoke was perfect. Once I picked out the fabrics, I had to decide how I wanted to hack the pattern. Again, it’s a very straightforward pattern, so that left a lot of possibilities! As I contemplated the options, I realized that the popover placket Kalle Shirt pattern from Cl...

Apricots and Coffee

By
Today, I am thankful to have family recipes that are so delicious. I am sitting here, early in the morning, listening to the sounds of my gas oven turn on and off as my Baked Apricots cook. This is another Boozer family recipe (shhhh, secret). Yet, none of them are overly complicated. My favorite part of Thanksgiving growing up was when my mom let me crush the crackers for the Baked Apricots. I would crush, crush, crush some more, and come back and say, how do they look? She would say nope, needs some more crushing. I just remember it taking me forever to crush those crackers! But, it was always worth it in the end: Baked Apricots. Another family must-have for our Thanksgiving is Sauerkraut. Yum. I was talking to Mama Liz (mom's mom for those who don't know) the other day and we were planning out Thanksgiving. The first thing she said was, "well you know we have to have sauerkraut for Papa Joe. He loves sauerkraut." And I said, you know, so do I! She laughed a...
