Eataly’s pizza rocks

I helped host a baby shower for my dear friend, Cassie

(and thought my homemade granola bar was pretty darn cute)

and then later that day threw a superbowl party

(complete w/ Delfina meatball subs and homemade chili queso)

spring has come early and the cherry blossoms are blooming in SF!

we’ve been making paninis on our snazzy new panini maker

(thanks Susannah & Fred!)

back to our normal routine of heading to the Ferry B on Saturday morns

more runs down along Crissy Field and the GG bridge

I’ve been experimenting with chili recipes

(blog post coming soon)

we had a rosemantical Valentine’s date night at home

(filet mignon, roasted potatoes & asparagus)

Mum met Nigella Lawson, so jealous

(well, we both met her at a book signing in Dublin in ’05, but I’m still jealous)

D and I had a Berkeley date night – first stop was dinner at Zachary’s Pizza

followed by the Cal – SC game

(Go Bears – we won!)

In the spirit of the Oscar’s, I’m whipping up a batch of Gaby Dalkin‘s / The Londoner‘s Slutty Brownies

(Silver Linings Slutty Brownies, to be exact)

I like how Rosie from The Londoner describes these as “filthy”

Also in the Oscar spririt…. “Frankenweenies ‘n Blankets”

and “Artichoke go f*#k yourself” Dip”

(I crack myself up)
