Love Letter for Friday, September 18th

September 18, 2015 by Alyssa

[ezcol_1half]

alyssa’s week

“I recently realized that I’ve hardly seen ANY of Japan.  It’s time to change that, and we have a holiday week ahead of us.  So we’re doing some traveling and seeing a few cities I haven’t been to yet.  Stay tuned on Instagram to check out all the ramen, temples and sights!

(What’s in the photo above? The mini taco sampler from Loteria at the 3rd & Fairfax Farmers Market near The Grove in LA, a giant horchata, and the crazy amazing vintage chair that I wanted to steal.)”

*This is definitely happening.

*I love this trivet!  Perfect for big or small pots and pans.

*This photo alone is making me regret not planning a visit to Laos on our upcoming Southeast Asia trip.  Oh well, guess I’ll have to go back on another trip!

Carla's Love Letter for 9.18.15carla’s week

“I’m sure I’ve talked about this before, but you know what’s terrible?  Seasonal produce.  Not the produce part, the SEASONAL part.  This is especially irritating to me since we’re lucky enough to be able to find most items year round here in CA.  Who says cherries are just a June fruit?  MY FARMER’S MARKET, THAT’S WHO.  Totally a ridiculous problem, but there you are.  Cocktail cherry recipe happening sometime in 2016- GET EXCITED! ;)”

* Oh MAN, this is cute: an exploding box of colorful photo goodness.

* I love the sweet vibe of this Mexican fiesta: look at the pretty tableware and papel picado!

* Disclaimer: I’m a huge fan of The Rock.  But still, you might want to catch up on Ballers.  Hilarious football fun, HBO style.
