smitten.

smitten kitchen is a food lover’s dream. i know i drastically overuse the word ‘obsessed,’ but i’m obsessed (smitten, would be an appropriate synonym, but that would be a pun very much intended). smitten kitchen manages to combine two of my VERY favorite things: great food and great writing into one witty, humorous, and photographically well-documented blog. it is the one...

bon voyage.

i have a serious addiction to travelling. there is nothing better than sitting at the airport, bags packed (i also happen to have a fondness for beautiful luggage), open to and awaiting all the charms and facets of a completely new place. a sample of my must travel-to list: beirut. prague. casablanca and fez. lisbon. jerusalem. cinque terre. angkor, cambodia. agra, india. istanbul. thailand in...

in honor of today...

one of my favorite books: “What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-bye. I mean I’ve left schools and places I didn’t even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don’t care if it’s a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it. If you don’t, you feel even...

"we drink tea to forget the noise of the world."

one of my favorite things to do is sit, newspaper or novel in hand, in a quiet place with a great cup of tea. when i stumbled across this post: http://sunday-suppers.blogspot.com/2010/01/tay-tea-persian-rose.html , i was instantly intrigued because i had never heard of ‘persian rose’ tea before. i happen to love persian food, and incidentally, one of the best cups of tea i have had...

mellow.

my first year in college, i strung lights up around my dorm bunk bed and desk. once in a while, after a long week of classes and studying, my roommate and i would lay in our beds in the darkness broken by just these little, twinkling lights, and have a “mellow day.” i love those moments, and i still have a fondness for these lights. image...

spring.

spring is just around the corner, and what better way to usher in the new season than with this pretty, miniature garland? i just love seasonal decorations, but i have never been one for the pastel-color overload that typically accompanies spring/easter decor (i think i’ll be painting my hollowed-out easter eggs with black chalkboard paint this year). this garland is chic, delicate, and...
