“The rainy season, ugh. It’s so hot and humid, and it’d been raining almost every day. It sure makes you less excited about going outside. As a result, I’ve been scraping together some pretty hodge-podge meals. Popcorn for dinner, hummus and pita for lunch, pastina with butter and cheese. What are your favorite ‘I don’t feel like leaving the house’ meals?”
*The hubby and I are trying to decide where to go on our next trip, and this post from our friend Chelsea at The Ginger Side of Life has us seriously considering New Zealand specifically to take this Hobbiton Dinner tour.
*Caramelized pineapple and chili lassi. Yes, please.
*How happy would you be to reach for these pretty little spice jars while you cook?

“I’ve been to lots of cooking classes and I’d have to say that they’re always fun. But this week I went to a dim sum class and it was AWESOME. The class was held at a cooking school so we had hours of access to the full professional kitchen (including any extra ingredients we wanted to use in order to jazz up our recipes) and small group sizes so we all got to actually cook. Since you often don’t get to make every recipe, I was in heaven. I’m dreaming up some new versions of the techniques I learned, so stay tuned!”
* Love this gorgeous DIY marbled vase– and the blue color choice makes it gorgeous for outdoor entertaining in the sunshine.
* Crochet clothes hangers! So delicate and sweet.
* Anthropologie has an additional 20% off sale this weekend- buy this amazing tunic dress!

Our easy matcha latte made it into Mr. Matcha’s 7 Best Matcha Drink Recipes! With really kind words: “It was surprisingly easy to make, and the results were fantastic. You don’t even need any special equipment to get almost coffee shop quality milk foam, either.”
Hi ladies! Happy weekend to you both. I’ve always wanted to go to a cooking class, the closest I’ve gotten was a chocolate-making night. It was super sweet and fun, but I still want to get into a real kitchen and learn to cook something fancy. Dim sum sounds like fun!
Thanks for the love, ladies! Hope you have a great weekend! xo
