un/pack

I am in un/packing hell.

How did I accumulate so much stuff in my short life time?

My new wardrobe is bursting. Bursting at the seams.
And there isn’t enough shelf space for all my books.

I honestly don’t know what to do with all this stuff.

Where has my weekend gone?

In Print!

You know what’s really exciting? Seeing stuff in print! Once again folks, Nabil takes absolutely beautiful pictures. He took these shots of The Wagyu (sourced from Kagoshima Japanese Blacks in the warm southern climates of Kyushu, Japan) on our Sunday shoot a while ago, and they’ve popped up in this month’s issue of Appetite magazine! If you’d like to see more of his work or contact him for a quote, drop me a line and I’ll put you guys in touch.

Tea Towels to Dry For

Too cute for words. I’m in love with this one in particular.
I can’t wait to christen the new kitchen!

Miss September(s)

Yeah so this is so incredibly overdue but the pics were too good to pass up and not share with all of you :) Clearly, we are very good at playing dress up. I think as a general rule all our parties henceforth should 1. have a theme, 2. have a mandatory dress code according to said theme, 3. have an eject button for all those who fail to pass our stringent dress code standards.

To mark the momentous occasion of Babar turning 23 we decided on the 7 Deadly Sins.

Turkeyday

Just got the email from D&D announcing their 2009 Thanksgiving Catalogue. Oh my mama what I’d give to be back in Amerika for that fabulous holiday. I mean really, it’s about FOOD. It’s not about lights or god’s birthday or easter bunnies or the new year, it’s about FOOD. Food, glorious food! In my mind, Thanksgiving is second only to Chinese New Year, cos then you get money for no other reason than the fact that you’re unmarried (another fabulous idea). You can gorge yourself to surfeited collapse, drink till you’re silly and then plop down on the couch for hours of football (or the Thanksgiving Day Parade) and of course, stuff yourself with more food before you tuck yourself in for an early night. Doesn’t it sound just decadent?

I remember the hell that was last year’s Thanksgiving and bathing a turkey all by my lonesome and cooking for two days straight to feed 15 hungry people and I remember swearing while desperately clutching a cold naked 18 pound turkey over a brimming salt bath while turkey juice ran down my arms that I would never again attempt something so obviously insane……..

The perfect christmas present(s) for the whole family.

Give a little, do a lot of good.

The Mismeasure of a Woman

By JOANNE LIPMAN
Published: October 23, 2009

FINALLY! I hear we’re all living in a women’s world now.

For the first time, women make up half the work force. The Shriver Report, out just last week, found that mothers are the major breadwinners in 40 percent of families. We have a female speaker of the House and a female secretary of state. Thirty-two women have served as governors. Thirty-eight have served as senators. Four out of eight Ivy League presidents are women.

Great news, right? Well, not exactly. In fact, it couldn’t be more spectacularly misleading.

The truth is, women haven’t come nearly as far as we would have predicted 25 years ago. Somewhere along the line, especially in recent years, progress for women has stalled. And attitudes have taken a giant leap backward.

Sublime

Absolutely beautiful.
