The Weekend

This past weekend we walked over to Humboldt Park to catch part of Global Union before going to Bay View Bash. We went to see Bomba Estereo, an electro-indie band from Bogota, Columbia. I must say, it was perfect for an outdoor chillfest like Global Union. The weather was nice so we sat and hung out on the grassy hill for a while.

Check them out.......


In other news, our garden is overflowing with tomatoes. I've been eating them almost everyday but fast approaching my limit. Any tomato recipes I should try? I've been making caprese salad and putting them diced into couscous, etc.


I'm off to class in Chicago. Working and doing school is really sucking up my free time (not shocking), but I hope to keep posting a few times a week. Anyone want to guest post????

The Paisano

We had the Paisano pizza yesterday at Transfer, one of my favorite pizza places. It was so spicy but so good! I kept on eating it even though my eyes were watering. (I have a very pathetic tolerance for heat/spicy). Here's what's on it: mozzarella, tomatoes, pesto sauce, hot Italian sausage, and aged asiago cheese. Anyone else out there love spicy food, but can't hardly eat it? I wonder if I could grow a tolerance to spicy stuff?

Weekend: Lonny, Top 10 list, a garage sale and a bloody mary on top

I'm excited to get the weekend rolling because there is sure a lot of good stuff going on in the neighborhood.


The second issue of Lonny Magazine is now online! I browsed through it today as fast as I could because I couldn't stand the suspense. Over the weekend, I'm going to sit down and read the articles and dog-ear some decorating ideas. Go take a look! Go, Go, Go!

I'm going to finish up with some odds 'n ends on my Gift List at the Urban Garage Sale. It's tomorrow from 10:30-5:30 pm at Turner Hall Ballroom. Design Within Reach will be there? With discounted stuff? Hot damn. On a side note, our wedding reception will be at Turner Hall Ballroom next summer, so I'll take advantage of the daylit room and make some notes in between shopping.


My Top Ten Albums of 2009 List is almost finished. I should be posting that next week on this blog and on the Letters Home from Camp blog. Matt at Letters Home from Camp will be hosting the 7th Annual Top Ten Party on Dec. 27th at Trocadero. Check out the Shepherd Express write-up here.



If time allows, I'm going to try to hit up the Bloody Brunch at Stack'd bar on Sunday from 11am-2pm. It looks like a super good time AND proceeds will benefit the Blood Center and Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation. I'm all about that kind of charity stuff.







Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
