in the internets.

you can find me in other parts of the internet these days.
1. a little blog about me and the bf's dog: scoutandthebee.tumblr.com
2. a bigger blog about trading in my car for a bike(!!). this is total insanity: dearbicycle.tumblr.com
3. the gardens project: www.growingsafergardens.com

i haven't given up on smashed goods. there's just a lot happening and it's all online.

**the photograph is of all the "surprise" dum-dums in a multi-pound bag. a small group of us did a serious taste test.

butter lamb.

it's possible that i will never fully understand this phenomenon. but i want a butter lamb every day.

what i am reading in the internet.

•  ice cream picasso trailer. weird. but i like it.
• nytimes magazine and foodie periodicals. big big love to love to remedy quarterly and put a egg on it. totally interested in wilder. not yet committed. 
• the nytimes makes me want to try pelforth beer.
• i am going to attempt to give up my car (which is a pain in the ass) for an incredible bike. video to follow. here's the video:

summer cocktails.

it's hard to drink anything but gin or beer or prosecco in the summer. but we've got a ton of bottles in the bourbon/whiskey/scotch family. and some rum. preparing for our caribbean-themed belmont-stakes-watching party, we consumed a handful of cuba libres. that is, rum + coke + tons of lime. much unlike the ever-popular rum + coke of high school, this one is drinkable and doesn't taste too sweet or leave a sugary feel on your teeth.

however, the drink of summer 2012 is probably bourbon + limonata. i threw a couple of these together (with the oversized ice) the other night for me and casey and they were really delicious. and for all occasions, not just summer.

oh, mexico.

i ran off to mexico with casey for the weekend to see yelena and dominic get married. video (yes, video!) to follow.

and i swear i am going to post more.
