It has been far too long since I've written post. (In my defense, I'm currently working five different jobs, and feel like I barely have time to sleep). That said, I came across this recipe for <a href="http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/badaily/2013/07/chicken-waffle-sandwiches.html?mbid=recipes__20130711_9692514">Fried Chicken and Waffle Sandwiches</a>, and knew it had Foodie Friday written all over it... Enjoy!</div>

Last weekend, my best friend Eleni came down from Boston to visit me. It was a real treat, as Eleni's a doctor and often has trouble getting away. Naturally, we decided that Sunday brunch was in order. And to me, brunch always means a Bloody Mary. I love the spicy tomato-y texture and how the plethora of garnishes make me feel like I'm eating healthier than I actually am. My favorite versions in Philadelphia are those at <a href="http://www.farmiciarestaurant.com/">Farmicia</a> (a local haunt, and scene of Sunday's brunch) and <a href="http://www.rittenhousetavern.com/index.php?action=page&id=1888">Rittenhouse Tavern</a> (which I visited for the first time about a month ago, and whose Bloody Marys are the yardstick by which all others will be measured going forward). </div>
<br />
Surprisingly, as much I love these comforting concoctions, I've never made one at home. That's all about to change though, as I've decided that this holiday season will be the one in which I master the Bloody Mary myself. It'll take some practice, I'm sure, and <i>a lot </i>of tasting...(but thankfully, I'm up to the challenge). Here are the recipes I'm planning to try -<br />

Today’s Foodie Friday post is dedicated to one recipe: <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/last-minute-thanksgiving-appet-132838">Lemon-Thyme Bruschetta</a>. I had
something similar once at <a href="http://colonienyc.com/">Colonie</a> in Brooklyn and it’s been on my mind ever
since. I made this version for the first time on Thanksgiving, and was so
smitten with it, that I made it again two days later, for a “Friendsgiving” meal. It’s easy, quick, and best of all, super delicious. So,
bookmark it, pin it and file it away. You never know when you’ll need an
appetizer at a moment’s notice. (Two notes - Season with lemon zest, salt and
pepper to taste. I added half a lemon more of zest to mine. Also, use the best
ricotta you can find. It truly makes the dish.)</div>

At this point in our relationship, I think it's only fair that I tell you - I am a chocoholic. And not one of those that sneaks their addiction either, no... I will blatantly feed my urge right out in public. But don't get me wrong, I do have <i>some</i> control. For example, I do not have to eat a whole cake in one sitting. One large piece, maybe two (if it's breakfast time), will suit me just fine. And I'll even eat desserts made without chocolate... sometimes. But ultimately, my heart belongs to the cocoa bean; and the darker, the saltier, the gooier, the better!</div>

These tasty-looking treats have been on my radar since last Spring. (Which apparently, is <i>not</i> a season that you can find caramel squares in the store.) With the advent of colder weather though, I'm hoping my luck will change. If not, I'm taking to the internet, because these are a definite must-try for me!<br />

This project presented a fascinating dilemma for its
architect/owner, <a href="http://www.archilovers.com/p7881/Palazzo-Orlandi#info">Sabrina Bignami</a> of <a href="http://www.b-arch.it/">b-arch studio</a>. How do you take a neglected 18th century
palace guesthouse, restore it, layer in elements of contemporary design and
still remain true to the historical integrity of the house?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Located in Prato, Italy, a famous textile city close to
Florence, Casa Orlandi had been unoccupied for twenty years when Bignami
purchased it. It was neglected, but filled with beautiful frescos by Luigi
Catani, one of the premier Tuscan fresco painters of the day.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP0Vd6faMzTlne23Aq08bst4U25XK8cj_xepR9jI3nrkAtTO1zsJlbL4VsE-ZkdcqMWVB6HxfLRfVfhoQKUQiiWq9LKR8lEeCpfI5-95fy0YqaYftem9PD0vTZLbQUiEeU712T6xP8bCw/s1600/casa+orlandi+bedroom+detail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP0Vd6faMzTlne23Aq08bst4U25XK8cj_xepR9jI3nrkAtTO1zsJlbL4VsE-ZkdcqMWVB6HxfLRfVfhoQKUQiiWq9LKR8lEeCpfI5-95fy0YqaYftem9PD0vTZLbQUiEeU712T6xP8bCw/s1600/casa+orlandi+bedroom+detail.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
From the beginning, the architect’s restoration intention was to use a light hand, and not to remake anything that did not already exist. To that end, the frescos, many of which had been covered over with a heavy layer of white paint, were lovingly restored by a friend, an expert in the field. The floors were saved and preserved, but not patched or replaced. Partially missing details were left as they are, and accepted as the result of time. The casings, in all of their fragile lightness, were kept in their original state.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yet, restoration was only one of the goals of this project. The
architect wanted to acknowledge Italy’s historical legacy, but also its great contributions to the world of
contemporary design. She did so, by introducing modern elements into the space, and by working to create a successful dialogue
between the two, something she feels that Italians often struggle
with, ideologically. She mixed "marchè
aux puces" pieces from around the world with recognizably modern objects,
but always in an intentionally impermanent manner. As
a result, none of the contemporary pieces touch the walls, and all can be moved
or replaced, at whim or over time, as the house evolves. In this respectful way,
she has both honored the house and enlivened it.<br />

Here on the East Coast, Halloween is an especially
frightening time, thanks to <a href="http://science.time.com/2012/10/29/frankenstorm-why-hurricane-sandy-will-be-historic/">Frankenstorm</a>. Many areas are still without power and coastal
damage is immense, causing some cities and states to reschedule the holiday
altogether. Luckily, Philadelphia was not hit as hard as many other areas, but
for me, a quiet night at home still feels like the most fitting way to observe
this scarier than usual occasion.</div>

My prescription for a stay-at-home celebration of moderate
proportions? A festive drink, <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/21-things-you-can-eat-out-of-a-pumpkin">a pumpkin-stuffed meal</a>,
and a classic scary movie (think <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070047/">The Exorcist</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063522/">Rosemary’s Baby</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054215/">Psycho</a>,
and the like.) For those without power? Up the creepy-shadows factor with lots
of strategically placed candles, substitute a Ouija board (or rounds of monster-themed
Scrabble) for the movie, and double up on the drinks. (You've earned it!)</div>

I’m back! I’ll be sharing more about my trip to Paris soon,
but today I’m sharing the best part…I got engaged! <br />
It happened on the second
night of my trip, when my sweetheart and I were standing together on the Pont Louis
Philippe admiring the Seine. Suddenly; he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. The idea didn't catch me off guard, (we've been together five
years), but the moment did. I looked at <i>him</i> with surprise, the <i>ring</i> with
delight, and then proceeded to cry and put the ring on my finger without ever
answering him! Eventually, I got it together enough to say “yes,” to the man
who has always treated me as if I’m nothing less than extraordinary…<o:p></o:p></div>

One of things I’m beyond excited about with my upcoming trip to Paris is the chance to tour the modernist masterpiece, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_de_Verre">La Maison de Verre</a>. Are you familiar with it? I read this <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/26/arts/design/26ouro.html?_r=0">New York Times article</a> about this great work about a year ago, and became instantly intrigued. </div>

<a href="http://vimeo.com/11636468">Pierre Chareau - Maison de Verre</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user2426545">Not Made TV</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br />
<br />
From there, I stumbled upon this captivating <a href="http://vimeo.com/11636468">video</a>, (narrated
by a woman with a lovely French accent, of course), and feel in love. I decided
to use this fascinating work of architecture as the precedent for my thesis
project and studied it down to the last detail.
Over and over again, I was struck by the meticulous care and thought
with which it was designed, and the sheer poetic awe it inspired in those that
had the privilege to experience it in person. <br />

The Maison de Verre is a private home and as such, is not
open to the public. But Robert Rubin, its current owner, is an architectural
historian who seems to have a soft spot for others that share his passion
and vocation. To that end, limited 10-person tours are offered on Thursdays
alone, and open only to those in architecture and related fields. Thankfully,
the stars have aligned for yours truly, and through luck (i.e. two cancellations)
and a shiny new degree in interior design, I will be visiting the Maison de
Verre in person next week. Whoo-hoo!!</div>

Ok, so maybe it's Sunday, and not Friday, but... Two years ago I had the insane desire to make savory waffles. I searched everywhere for recipes, but couldn't find much of anything on the salty side of sweet to inspire me. Until now. When I came across <a href="http://www.saltedandstyled.com/">Salted & Styled's</a> recipe for <a href="http://www.saltedandstyled.com/2013/01/03/savory-spring-onion-and-pancetta-waffles/">Savory Spring Onion and Pancetta Waffles</a>, I knew that this was the pocketed wonder that would launch my savory waffle sojourn. Rich, salty Italian bacon, fresh green onions and dollops of maple butter... Seriously?? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yep, I'm making this one tonight!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our first Christmas together, my sweetheart gave me two guide books, one for Paris and one for Venice, and said, "pick one". My first reaction was delight (naturally)! My second was, "how will I ever choose??"</span></div>

To understand where I was coming from, I need to take you back to a few years. First, to my years as an undergrad, when I switched majors and <i>gleefully</i> discovered that my new major had a language requirement. (Crazy, I know.) But I'd always wanted to learn Italian, and now I had the chance. I threw myself into my language classes (well, as much as one can when carrying a full load and working full-time), and by the time a graduated, I was dreaming in Italian.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fast forward (a few) years. I'm living on the East Coast, in Philadelphia, working as a buyer for Anthropologie. Europe is closer than it's ever been for this California native, and my life has begun to feel, well, more French. Something about the insanely creative people with whom I work, the architecture of my new city, the water... who knows? But suddenly, I'm daydreaming en français. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">With the arrival of Fall and the slight chill in the air, my mind has begun to turn to thoughts of soup. Sadly, I had not prepared for this moment when I went shopping earlier in the week, so when the desire struck, I had to improvise. One such improvisation was to use the above recipe as inspiration for modifying a store-bought can of chicken and wild rice soup. I took some shrimp I had on hand, tossed it in olive oil, salt and pepper and grilled it. I then defrosted some frozen corn, added salt and pepper, and grilled it too. I added both to the canned soup warming on the stove, along a few tablespoons of milk, and finished it all off with a liberal amount of paprika and (more) pepper. Voila! Chicken and rice soup that was so much more... (</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Next time, I'll planned ahead and try the soup recipe above. Still, it's nice to know what I can pull together in a pinch!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Speaking of French onion soup, this was my other go-to for an unplanned soup week, and I again used what I had on hand. In this case, it was <a href="http://www.cooktj.com/index.php?q=content/trader-joes-french-onion-soup">Trader Joe's French Onion Soup</a> from the freezer. Have you ever tried it? Not too shabby for those times when you're feeling to lazy to make soup from scratch. (I know it's crazy, but years ago I bought two <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/apilco-porcelain-souffle-dish/?cm_src=AutoSchRel">ramekins</a> exactly the right size for baking this soup - 4"dia., 2 1/2" h. I've never regretted it.)</span></div>

A mahogany and navy wool masterpiece, this 1940's Danish sofa by Frits Henningsen may be my second favorite piece. It's a bit straight-laced, but I just love the way the wood frame cradles the cushions at the front.</div>

I don't know about you, but I find the amount of time that elapses between Mad Men seasons to be almost unbearable. Why must we wait so long for each one? Doesn't Matthew Weiner know we need our fix? Thankfully, others are willing to step in and take up the cause when Weiner won't. And what better way than with a video of all of our favorite cast members performing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"? Seriously, I ask you - what better way??<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's kind of crazy, but
I never really starting cooking eggs until about five years ago. In all my
years growing up, I would avoid them. I was ok with hard-boiled eggs and
deviled eggs, but if I was going to eat them scrambled, someone else was going
to have to make them, and there had better be a lot of other stuff scrambled in
with them. When I went out for breakfast or brunch, I would usually order one
of the sweet options - waffles, french toast or pancakes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That all changed early
on in my relationship, when my boyfriend started making me his favorite
scramble - eggs, sausage, polenta and Parmesan cheese. It wasn't
fancy, but it was made with love, and soon I found my view on eggs changing. So
much so in fact, that I began to bookmark recipes and make them myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

This post doesn’t fall under the category of subjects that I
normally blog about (design, food, and the like), but it does fall under the
categories of “good people” and the "good life,” two other areas about which I’m
pretty passionate. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
You see, I believe that everyone, no matter what their
circumstance in life, deserves a chance - a chance to be smart, to work hard, to
make something of themselves. So, when I read <a href="http://www.elementsofstyleblog.com/2012/09/from-his-perspective-for-a-cause.html">Andrew’s post</a> on his wife’s wildly
popular blog, <a href="http://www.elementsofstyleblog.com/">Elements of Style</a>, it really resonated with me. In it, Andrew movingly
describes his introduction and subsequent involvement with a cause called
<a href="https://summersearch.org/about/what.aspx">Summer Search</a>; a program built on the premise that, given the right tools and dedicated
support of others, even those that have been dealt the worst hands in life can
move forward and achieve their dreams. <o:p></o:p></div>

I could tell you more, but I could never do it as well as
Andrew. So, head on over to <a href="http://www.elementsofstyleblog.com/2012/09/from-his-perspective-for-a-cause.html">Elements of Style</a>, read Andrew’s post, and if you
are moved half as much as I was, maybe you too will join the list of good
people, doing good, to give others a good life.<o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/">1stdibs</a> has long been my go-to source for furniture and lighting inspiration. I love the style, ingenuity and craftsmanship of vintage and antique pieces, and never fail to get a rush of pure design adrenaline when I stumble across the perfect piece for my project. That said, I'd have to use Monopoly money if I were to ever buy them for myself. But, that doesn't stop me from dreaming. So, dibs! (Unless, of course, you have <i>actual</i> money to pay for them, in which case I will graciously acquiesce, and allow you to make these gorgeous items your own.)</div>

The best kind of people have <i>kalon</i> in spades. They are the givers of the world. Those that know that it's not what you say, but what you do that defines you. They are the ones that do what's right when no one is watching, the ones that truly want what's best for others, no strings attached.<br />
<br />
At a glance, they may appear almost ordinary. But spend a few minutes with one, and you'll know that you've encountered someone special. Someone worth knowing. Someone that may just change your life for the better, if you let them...<br />
