a moment.



My view today from my much needed time out in the middle of chaos central.  A mid-day visual oxymoron.. but I was so thankful to set down my ever-present bags and pause for a moment.  Thank you nyc.

party in my tummy




This is my song of the day... I don't remember Sesame Street being this exciting.

otra ves


la SeƱora the cook

I am disappearing for a bit to start cooking mole.
Now, my last attempt at this was a bit harrowing and resulted in a small fire, mini volcanic mole eruptions spewing chocolate and chilis all over my walls,  and frantic and futile flailing of my bath towel underneath my smoke alarm.
I am taking La Lupe and Vicente into the depths with me, and I am going to chop, reduce, blend and if necessary, cry my way through part deu.  Cravings will do this to a girl and this time may be a bit cathartic. I will read the chocolate swirls and let you know.

Vintage Mexican movies, music and their stars never fail to inspire. Gorgeous.

crazy dancer woman


natalie.. i love you. I have been a groupie from the moment you set foot in habana and regaled us with your tales of selling your clothes on the street in italy in order to stay afloat. I love your Michael Jackson mohawk, your duvet cover, and I love you even when you break cafe con leche glasses in a million pieces right on my bare leg.  So.. just shake it my tigeresa!

It had to arrive, but each time it does, I am in disbelief. It seems to sneak up a bit more quickly each year. Labor Day.. really? How does this happen to me each time?
I am always left feeling a bit despondent and yearning for just one more beach day. Just one! But I will take what I can get! And our last hurrah was nothing but classic. Adventures on the LIRR, pink bathrobes, surfboards, hula hoops, c town bbq shopping, and the best beach umbrella ever.

Worked this little flick into my schedule and decided that I am destined to become the crazy ex-wife.  Just the truth. And it's okay.
