shrimp and crawfish etouffee

bread pudding

the only other bread pudding i've ever had is my mothers and her's is incredible. this most definitely rivals it.

one of my favorite days of the year

i'm a few days late, but i just have to document the delicious couture at this year's academy awards.

my winner for the night was cate blanchett. she looked absolutely incredible in her lavender givenchy. the dress was absolutely stunning with its leather pearls and crystals.

my other favorite also happened to be lavender. mila kunis in elie saab.

obviously anne hathaway was perfection in everything she wore. my favorites were the vintage valentino (on the carpet), the silver beaded fringe oscar de la renta and the white givenchy embellished with crystals. amazing.

the silver oscar de la renta is one of my favorite anne hathaway moments. she loved that dress...as you can clearly see above. rachel zoe (my icon) did an incredible job....as always.

i already miss the pretty dresses.

one life goal down.....

and many, many more to go!

but.......i finally learned how to knit! granted, i can only do one stitch (i apparently unknowingly purled once) but i learned how to knit. it is kind of exciting.

as you can see, i am unbelievably skilled. (thumbs up).

i learned how to knit at this great store called wildfiber, in santa monica. they have all sorts of classes and they sell yarn, books and some finished products. it's an adorable and colorful store and is incredibly cozy. the staff are also extremely nice and patient (which i needed).

cheers to the weekend

the long weekend could not have started out any better....an amazing dinner with a dear friend.

we went to the burger kitchen - a delicious restaurant specializing in burgers (kobe beef or 40 day aged, anyone?). g and i had a great time. there was almost no one there when we arrived, but many came and went while we were lingering over dinner and drinks.

g had the 'capitol' burger and she loved it....at least i'm guessing she did, since there was nothing left.

capitol burger - beef patty, lettuce, glazed granny smith apples, applewood smoked bacon, blue cheese

 
i had the southwestern burger. i can, and will, say that it is unquestionably the best burger i have ever had. i want another.

southwestern burger - turkey patty, avocado, roasted corn relish, thousand island, fresh spinach, tomato

g and i also shared the sweet potato fries. of course, they were delicious and came in a seemingly never-ending cone. and don't forget the ranch.

they also have dessert, but we did not see the need for that.

has the princess reclaimed her throne?

the original princess of pop, miss britney jean spears is back and i must say that i have missed her!

via

last night, after/during/before the jersey shore shittiest piece of crap on tv , her new video for hold it against me premiered. i just caught it this morning and i am both impressed and left wanting. brit looks hot, no doubt about that. the close-ups of her face are gorgeous and her extensions look flawless (thank g-d!). but when it comes to the dancing, her moves aren't tight. she is no longer the britney from baby one more time - which we get flashes of in the video. she looks good, don't get me wrong, but the dancing didn't seem on par with the britney of yesteryear.

you can check out the video here

i do, however, LOVE the homage to rocky horror with the bright red lips on black. and the video in general. jonas akerlund, the director, did a phenomenal job.

what do you think? is it britney's best?
