this just did not happen enough this summer

note to self: summer goes too quick, must move to a place where summer lasts longer.

dawn's shower

wendesday night we celebrated dawn and the bun in her oven. I have to tell you she is one of the cutest pregnant women I have ever seen. she's always got her hands resting on what looks like a basketball under her shirt. I hope and pray I am as graceful and glowing as she is when I get knocked up.
anyways it was the most beautiful night up on the rooftop and it reminded me how much I love new york. september is heavenly here.

heather made the most ridiculous cupcakes. orange dreamsicle. 

died and went to heaven.

for jordans birthday I got reservations to blue hill at stone barns. 
its a restaurant on a farm about thirty minutes outside of the city. it was the most amazing dining experience of my life. both jordan and I were mind boggled by the whole thing. I hate to use this word, but honestly it was kind of a magical experience.

we drove up early so we could wander around the grounds. when I think about it now it was a little weird to see all the animals and know we were going to be eating them later, but it didn't bother me at the time.

I put on my jellies to wander the grounds. the greenhouses were my favorite.

here we are!

ladies and gentleman: my husband farmer style

for histories sake I had to document what we ate:

tomato water gespatcho

vegetables from the farm: carrot, tomato, fennel

crispy green beans

tiny tomato burger

summer squash in panchetta and sesame seeds

summer salad: grilled cantaloupe, tomatoes, cucumber, fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomatos

lobster on corn chowder

poached egg on brioche toast with procuitto

warm tomato onion bread with butter and tomato and kale salt

pork medallions, pork belly, bean salad, and new potato

red jacket apricots, blackberries and toasted almond ice cream

strawberry lime soda, summer berries, peach, and chocolate covered hazelnut

chocolate mint tea


so DE-LISH.

  

my TiVo is ready

my sweet sweet summer has left me.

there is a chill in the air.

but let's be honest... fall is pretty good too. fall is good for a lot of reasons (we all know that) but one of my favs is fall TV.
can't wait
RZ, New Girl, Greys, GG, PanAm (I have a good feeling about this one), Project Runway...

goodbye summer.
hellooooo fall.
