Snack Attack—Not for Snacking

This pup is Henry and Gigi's son who was given away to be raised in Baltimore. They had WAY too many children as having litters go. His mommy Rebecca took him to a famous local painter, Robert McClintock, who painted his cute mug. You can buy a print of him on his website.
Snack is blond, and sweet, and one of the cutest doggies I've ever seen. I'm gonna see him this month, I hope!

Green Camera Case

This was a present for Elana for her birthday. I thought the neon green was so fun for a case and suit her fun personality too.

Olive You So Much

Anchovy olives are my new obsession. Specifically Fairway's anchovy olives are my favorite—so far. If I could take home their whole bucket of olives, I would. I would sit in front of the t.v. and eat them one after the next, until they were all gone. And the only thing left would be the sadness in knowing there aren't any left...and that I'm such a pig for eating all those olives. Oink!

Eyelet Pattern Camera Case

Get it? :P
Well, in any case, I thought the eyelet pattern would be really cute for a girly knitted camera case. I figured, this way I can put a lining in it and it would show through. For mine I put a shiny blue fabric and I added a cute green button for the final touch.

Rosemary Garlic Frenchy Fries

Im sure you can figure this one out. :P

Orgasmic Thai Larb Pork

I discovered a great, very friendly Thai grocery store called Bangkok Centery Grocery in Chinatown. I was craving Thai food and wanted to try making a meal from scratch at home. My friend Heather always brings in her larb gai from her neighborhood Thai restaurant and am always jealous, so I wanted to try making that at home. I bought some fresh ingredients like Thai basil, keffir lime leaves, and lemongrass, essential in Thai cooking. I also bought some green curry and red curry for later use.
The larb pork turned out really tasty, tangy, and comforting. I could eat this every day! I wish I could have shared it at work with Heather. Unfortunately Heather was on vacation but I'll tell her when she gets back, Im sure she'll be sooooooo jealous.

Super Bowl 43 Buffalo Wings

Buffalo Wings Recipe:
1 package of Chicken wings
3/4 cup Frank's Original RedHot Sauce
1 stick unsalted butter
2 cups of buttermilk
3 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of white vinegar
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Salt/pepper
Peanut oil

Separate the wing into two pieces, discard the wing tip.
Soak the wing pieces in the buttermilk. Toss in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.

Add peanut oil to a pot, enough oil for the wings to be submerged, and place over high heat until oil registers 375 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer or when you stick a wooden chopstick in the oil it starts to form little bubbles around the chopstick. At this point, turn heat down to medium. Work in batches, place wings in hot oil, do not over crowd the pot. Cook until wings are golden brown, about 5 mins. Remove from oil, place on paper towels to soak up excess oil. Move wings to a mixing bowl.

In a small saucepan, melt butter and mix in Frank's sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and vinegar. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss. Serve with celery and blue cheese sauce.
