I cruised through Target this afternoon and a notebook caught my eye. I’ll stick with my treasured Moleskine but I really love the quote on the cover of this one.
“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection.”

Just finished watching Eat Pray Love. Corny as it may sound, it shared a great deal of wisdom that I need in my life right now… and offered the realization that I absolutely MUST spend 4 months of my life eating my way through Italy!
Weekend Update: Labor… er… Memorial Day!
Whoa, summer! Slow your roll! I can’t believe it’s already Labor Day and I’m just now getting around to posting about Memorial Day. Dre + I aren’t up to much this holiday weekend so I’m happy to throwback to one of the best BBQs I attended all summer – Jenny C’s White Trash BBQ! I was sort of in “introvert mode” that day so I just laid back, shot some photos, and enjoyed the delicious food into the suburban Jersey night. Of course, I showed up with some solid BBQ staples and was thrilled they were such crowd pleasers. How can you go wrong with deviled eggs and rice krispie treats? You can’t… and I did them oh-so-right!
Chipotle Deviled Eggs FTW
Now let’s take a hot minute to talk about my rice krispie treats. I discovered a super simple way to make them Snap, Krackle, and mother-effing POP like no other rice krispie treat before it. Melt some butter in a sauce pan, melt it some more w. a few swirls of the pan, melt it until it starts to brown but careful enough that it doesn’t burn… and proceed with your usual back-of-the-cereal-box recipe. Brown butter instills a distinct nuttiness that no one can deny. Extra marshmallows are a no brainer, as well, and a sprinkle of sea salt to finish them like a salted caramel doesn’t hurt either. Steal my secrets. Do it. Everyone will love you!

A whole year + 2 months and this lady is officially funemployed… which takes me back to last August’s post. I REALLY don’t have an excuse but to spread my food love on the regular, now. Looking forward to sharing w. you all! https://nolovemoresincere.com/2010/08/24/no-excuse-blogging/
Instafood: Saganaki
Just got back from an extended Hurricane Irene-free vacation on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Had a killer Greek lunch at El Greco Cafe on Main St. in Sarasota including Saganaki to kick things off. Mmm, melty cheese flambéed w. brandy. Opa!

In Other News: Der Patty Melt
I’m about 12 episodes in to Dead Like Me, an unfortunately-demised series from Showtime, and loving every minute of it. The characters convene daily at Der Waffle House so there’s lots of food love on the show, especially surrounding the reaper boss, Rube. Can’t find a link to the awesome Rube food-montage from S01E12, so we’ll have to settle with one of my fave scenes from the show….
Der Patty Melt, my friends.
Instafood: MMS Gallery
Whew! I’m still here. I may not be posting… er… very often, but that doesn’t mean I’m not cooking, eating, exploring, and shooting it all along the way. Sometimes I forget to pat myself on the back for all the awesome food I make and count the blessings for the food love other people put in front of me. Today, I got the confidence boost I needed, one that came after a quite reflective weekend.
Long story short, a pretty rad lady I know founded and created a simple, yet beautifully-executed concept, The MMS Gallery: Masterpieces Made Simple (acronym intended). It’s an online collection showcasing user-submitted smartphone photography from around the globe. I stopped in here or there to check out their first couple of themes, but the topic of their third was right up my alley: FOOD!
After a month or so of submitting pics, I went about my life. Summer has been flying so I sorta forgot about it all until I got an event invite to the gallery opening… and saw their infographic about the submissions… and realized 7, yes 7, of my photos were chosen!! This shot is my fave – a #nofilter capture of Spring afternoon white sangria with one of my favorite ladies, Heidi.
See the rest of my MMS photos after the jump.
