fried green tomatoes

Finally made some fried green tomatoes before summer has ended. Although, here Los Angeles, it feels like it’s just begun. For all intents and purposes, I followed this recipe, although I was pretty loose on that. I’ve never actually had fried green tomatoes before, but I enjoyed these quite a bit. What’s not to love about breaded & fried vegetables?

Been making a few special meals here and there, but nothing profound. Just tasty combinations of things. As it starts to cool down, I know I’ll bee in the kitchen more and sharing various dishes.

Breakfast Feast

A quick announcement that Kim and I will be hosting another A Moveable Feast on Saturday September 17th. I’m particularly excited that the theme this time around will be French inspired breakfast for dinner. So many of my favorite dishes are breakfast treats.

le weekend

This weekend was filled with many tiny adventures. We never really got around to making plans to do something extravagant so we just did a bunch of things. Mostly I was glad to have the extra day to let my mind breath and clarify some things for myself. Worked on a few little projects and spent too much money on odds and ends.

I haven’t been taking many photos lately and was happy to get lost taking these flower shots around town.

camping

Sometimes, when you can’t get out of town, you can still go camping..and bring the cats along.

Hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend.

a peek into Dr. Kleinensteinen

Dr. Kleinenensteinen Deleted Scene from Shawn Bannon on Vimeo.

Why hello dear readers. I’ve been strangely absent from the internet recently. The past few weeks have been painfully busy (at work, how boring) and I’ve needed every free moment for mental recovery rather than fun things like blogging.

As a peace offering, or a special treat, I offer you this lovely video made long ago by my dear husband. It’s a deleted scene from Dr. Kleinenensteinen, a film he made (that I’m hoping he’ll share with the world someday) way back when before we knew each other.

Sometime soon, when I get around to giving a little tour of our home, you’ll see bits and pieces from this project all around. We live in fantasy land.

Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend filled with end of summer goodness.
