A quick glimpse into the last week:
One of my favorite weird snacks! Pickle + cream cheese toast. (So good!)

Mardi Gras happened… and my husband played a show with a few other local musicians.

Post-show bar finds… “Guitar Guy’s” take out box was filled with… a sliced pickle. That is all. And as it turned out, the box belonged neither to my guitar-guy husband, or the other guitar-guy Paul.

Valentine’s Day lilies still bursting open!

My buddy Janet invited me along on a photo shoot she had to do at the high school one day… I not-at-all-discreetly got this shot of her.

We had lunch at my favorite spot in Ashland afterwards, Sammich… The albacore is always a good choice. This time they offered me their spicy giardiniera on it as well– EVEN BETTER.

Some days require a big beer.

A thrown together dinner one night… Fancied-up caesar salad, cheesy breadsticks and a haphazard pasta concoction.

Its been looking and feeling very Spring-like around here…

Another thrown together dinner. Steamed basmati rice, tempura style fried tofu with Chinese 5-spice, southern tomato gravy, and peas + corn. Innnteresting.

Homemade seitan BBQ in the works another night.

A sunny selfie. (I really don’t like that word, “selfie.”)

I got a new loaf pan. And decided to christen it with orange chocolate chip pound cake… BATTER.

CAKE.

A Field Roast experiment WIN. Recipe tomorrow.

Breakfast for hungry boys. Crispy ‘taters and a pesto tofu scramble.

I hope you’ve had a lovely week!
