monday glitter in the air to you m’loves!
i hope this weekend provided the proper dress rehearsal for another week full of take-your-breath-away moments, unsurpressable laughter, and grateful reflection.
mine did.
and more.
but first a question for you:
does betty ford take patients for balsamic vinegar addiction?
if so, i might need to take the month of july off.
saturday morning i finally succumbed to the gourmet blends oil and vinegar booth at the farmers’ market.
and ever since i have had an IV drip of their white balsamic attached to the inside of my left elbow.
i can’t get enough of this stuff; purchased only two days ago, we’re almost halfway through the bottle….some people do gin…we do balsamic vinegar….
last night i went major {don’t click if you’re the queasy type} o-ren-ishii on this bushel of kale.
my go-to, no-fail kale salad recipe is super simple, and doesn’t waste any of my new precious vinegar.
what are your favorite kale recipes?
~side note…this is my fourth reference to o-ren on this blog…i can happily attest that after numerous which quentin tarantino character are you? quiz re-takes; i time after time score “o ren ishii“–as my character!
and! and! and!—this is the third kill bill reference i’ve had in less than 72 hours….obsessed much? which quentin tarantino character do you think you’d be?
on saturday afternoon this sexy betty tried to give me crabs.
swear to god…right in front of her children too.
instead of a round with crustaceans, bibs, and prescription ointment, i drank my first belmont breeze; which thankfully tasted like a hawaiin fruit punch wine cooler.
i’d be a much better drinker if more cocktails tasted like wine coolers…
AHA!
i just thought of a game!
if you were a wine cooler, what kind would you be and why?
i’d be “geisha berry”—–a blend of malt liquor, lychee fruit, and strawberry….a subtle, stealth, sweet on the surface beverage, but give me and hour and i’ll have your giggling behind your hand, belting out islands in the stream at a karaoke bar {all things i’ve done—-not sober.}
i was able to get 3/4 of it finished before i had to walk home, ass and headache in hand…..#rookie.
the rest of the weekend i down-timed it in bed with my face in this book.
another fun, quick, summer read; a family with secrets {name me a family without?} goes to mallorca for two weeks and emotions erupt…
so that’s the wrap-up…what about you? reading? seeing? doing? drinking? eating?
oh and don’t forget to tell me your wine cooler name?
and can we be friends please? i don’t think i can keep up this finding my self-esteem in the bottom of a belmont breeze much longer.
love,
katie
