Friday Favorites

by Carla

Happy Friday!

Retro Serving Dish: We adore this retro mid-century modern style serving dish.  It’s the epitome of the Googie style that was so big in California in the 50’s and 60’s.  And for only $15.99? We’ll take 2.

Nancy Silverton Leads a Master Class in Salads: This LA Times article may be a few years old, but it never gets old for us!  We take our salads seriously, but Nancy Silverton (of Mozza fame) takes their preparation to an entirely different level.

Corn Cakes with Crab: Fresh off an East Coast trip, Alyssa is pretty obsessed with crab right now.  She had her fill of crab cakes, but how does this Food52 recipe sound for a summer twist?  It’s basically a corn fritter with a crab and tomato salad on top.  Yum!

Nine Space Deck Beach Towel: Have you been looking for a large, sumptuous, SPECTACULAR beach towel?  From the shop who sells Turkish bath towels, these large beauties are made with two kinds of cotton to ensure that one side is soft and dries well while the other repels sand.  A perfect combination.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes in Pink Grapefruit: We’re obsessed with these wipes year-round, but if you’re looking for a product that’s especially able to combat the hazards of summer, this is it.  Easy to use and wonderfully effective, these babies will keep your skin clear (once you get used to the slight gumminess on your face right after you wipe- trust us, it goes away)!

Calphalon Omelet Pan: One of the best ways to quickly enjoy some summer produce is in an easy omelet.  But you’re going to need just the right pan!  We love this non-stick Calphalon version that serves up a perfectly cooked egg every time- you can even put it in the oven for scrambles!
