This and That

If you like Colin Firth, Julie Andrews, Stephen Fry, William Baldwin and others, you'll like this little known 2000 film, Relative Values. It's 1950's British society meets West Coast Hollywood!

This adorable little old lady did a special arrangement of flowers for our parish's Arts & Music festival this last week. She called it traditional Dutch style and is especially reminiscent of many early 17th century Dutch still lifes. I'm bookmarking this for my wedding someday! So gorgeous!

I'm thinking of trying something bold and new like this Grilled Swordfish Nicoise Salad to go with a bottle of Manzoni Bianco I brought home after a tasting at work. The wine is very acidic and reminds me of Muscadet, so I think the swordfishs' saltiness will contrast nicely. The extreme saltiness of saltwater fish makes the bitter wine actually taste sweeter than it is!

Also looking forward to this movie coming out soon. The Michael Caine imitation scene is hilarious. Can you tell I like British flicks??

Daydreaming of a lovely vintage bar cart like this, only I would add an extra finesse with a whiskey decanter or two.

I've been contemplating buying a set of basic dinnerware set from Crate & Barrel (yay for employee discounts!) I'm thinking a little contemporary with these white square plates would be my choice. Do you think it's too modern looking?? Oooohhhh I'm so tempted to buy so many other things when I go to work!!
