Sweet Nothings

There's this adorable English Tea Shoppe nearby that I love shopping from occasionally so I can have my occasional ration of clotted cream, Cadbury digestives and Shepherd's pie mix. (not together of course - eeewww) Last time I was there I saw this adorable Royal Wedding souvenir, except it was an apron instead of a poster- I simply must indulge and buy it the next time!

What an original way to label your herb garden. Very vintage chic.

I've been looking for a light summery salad to place on the menu for the upcoming parents' visit to Denver, and I think I found it. How does a watermelon, basil and Feta salad sound to you??


We seem to have been getting quite a bit of rain lately here in Denver. I asked a colleague about it and evidently every July (though typically later in the month) there is a "Monsoon" period here. Not your biblical sized floods of course, but rather a brief thunder and lightning storm that passes through every afternoon. Lately its been 3:00 on the dot and never ceases to entertain me. I was sad to leave some of the apocalyptic thunderstorms Michigan has in the summer, but glad to find Denver has its own little lightning shows. You will literally see blue skies and puffy white clouds in one direction, with a menacing black wall in the review mirror behind you.

Countdown to the final installation of the Harry Potter series! So bittersweet...



Speaking of Harry Potter, I have always had this thing for Neville Longbottom. No, seriously! I really felt connected to him because of his genuine nature, quirkiness and overall nerdiness. Granger is a great character, but she's what I call a goody-two-shoes nerd. Neville is my kind of nerd - a little more relaxed. He needs a girl who appreciates his love of herbology. So who said nerds can't grow up to be seriously attractive??? Judging by the evidence below, I rest my case.
