It's Super Bowl Sunday!

We're getting ready to go to a Super Bowl party tonight. If you live in the Pittsburgh area like me, you know this is like a national holiday. The stores close early or didn't even open at all. The malls closed early. Even my favorite flea market posted a note on the door that they're closing early. I never seen so much black and gold in my life this week. Even schools have a two hour delay tomorrow due to the Super Bowl game. Do you think Pittsburgh love there Steelers?


Hot Cinnamon Tea Roasted Pecans
Well, my diet is off today. With all the party food tonight, there's no way I can resist. I roasted pecans with a spicy sweet mix made of tea and made some magic cookie bars. Can't wait to see what other goodies are going to be there. I already got on the treadmill this morning. Tomorrow I'll do the same. Then off to the fitness center to spin. I think I already gained three pounds just testing out the goodies I made for tonight. "Here we go Steelers! Here we go!" So, no matter where you live you're going to hear the screams, yelling and shouting from the Pittsburgh fans to your neck of the woods. That's how loud it's going to get.

Magic Cookie Bars

Wow! What a super vintage hunting Friday I had. We took a trek up to Laughlintown. On the way up we took Chaco swimming in the river. Needless to say, one happy pup! One happy gal, too! We found some more flea markets to hunt along the way. Finally, we got to our destination, the Laughlintown Antique Mall. The mom and daughter owners there, are the most sweetest people. I love that mall. After looking at the second vendor's booth, I look over at the other gentlemen that walked in. Boy, did he look familiar. I keep on looking over at him. I know, isn't that so rude. Well, anyway, I walked right up to him and said "Don't I know you from somewhere?" Can you believe I said something stupid like that? Like, I was hitting on someone at the club:) My husband was right there, looking at me, like what is wrong with you woman! I really didn't mean for it to come out that way. But, I never forget a face, even if I forget my name, what day it is, what I ate a moment ago and so on, I still remember a face. Anyway, he kindly answered " Yes, you know me probably from Bravo's Top Design Show". It was the well known Eddie Ross, top interior designer and editor. He was one of the super contestants on season two of Bravo's Top Design. At one time he was the senior style editor of Martha Stewart Living. Now, Eddie along with his partner Jaithan Kochar offer their interior design and styling services and event production. They have this wonderful blog and boutique online. I love, Eddie's style. Eddie and Jaithan were quite gracious and kind. They even agreed to take a photo with Harry and I (the crazy lady from PA) with my mobile phone. Thank you Eddie and Jaithan! We're wishing you two the best on your design adventures! http://www.eddieross.com/

1945 Cough & Sneezes Short Film

Today we have nothing quite funny or entertaining as this as regards to the swine flu. But, it still brings home the point of cover your nose and mouth when sneezing. CARRY ON.

Entertain in Green!





When I think of the color green, I think fresh, earthy, healthy, and new beginnings! Start off Spring with a Going Green Party. In this tablescape I used bamboo plates and teacups. Polished stones from end to end of this long table. Small bamboo cutting boards held fruit and veggies. Tiny clay pots filled with spiced tea nuts. One teapot on a cast iron teapot warmer and, another glass teapot with filled with a blooming tea flower. A packet of seeds were placed on each green napkin, with a stone in place for each guest to take home, along with their tiny clay pot. Each of us had a 'green tip' placed on our napkin. We took turns reading our green tip out loud. Going Green Parties can be fun when each guest share tips on being more eco-friendly, gardening, and Spring cleaning. Along with endulging in a healthy menu and having a good time!
