Hello New York. How YOU Dooooin'?

The things that you have brought to me today:

So, let's talk about Pure Food and Wine for a second. A wee bit back you might remember that I bought a few raw food cookbooks. One, Raw Food / Real World, is the cookbook that the owners of Pure Food and Wine unleashed on the world.

For the first course, I had the marinated shiitake, avocado and pickled ginger sushi rolls (with jicama instead of rice), and they ruled. To the extreme. 2001, even. For the second course, I ordered the zuchinni and golden tomato lasagna with basil-pistachio pesto, sundried tomato sauce and pignoli ricotta. Thing is? With every bite, the only thing I could think was that the raw lasagne that I cobbled together from Raw by Charlie Trotter and Raw Food / Real World was actually better then what was on my plate.

Take THAT happy couple on the Raw Food / Real World cookbook cover that had a horrible, messy and drama-filled (with chair throwing!) break-up!

I fear more trips to Sephora just might be in my future. My future before Friday. Dear Christ.

Thanks so much for dealing with the .de stuff while I'm gone. I really don't know if I can say that enough.

From some of the things that the L has said to me? I'm certain of it.

Hey, L! What up, yo?

I went back into Sephora and could find nothing I needed! My standbys didn't need replacing, and I needed time to try out a perfume to see if it would turn on me, like a dastardly double agent.

The perfume? Comptour Sud Pacifique's Vanille Abricot. The result? Still lovely two hours later. I should've known - their Amour de Cacao is my favourite scent ever, and has stayed the same on my skin from first spritz.
