During the holidays, my husband and I frequented a specialty market here by the the name of Tony's. It never fails that you'll find something amazing at this market when you're looking to create an impressive meal. We happened upon this mediterranean mix of seafood and knew that once the holidays were over, we were going to whip up something delicious. ... and we did. Sunday's Seafood Vermicelli consists of: 1 cup, mussels 1 cup, scallops 1 cup, squid 1 cup, clams 1 cup, shrimp 4 tsp, capers 4 tsp, black pepper 1 cup, extra virgin olive oil 1 cup, grated parmesan 2 tsp, alaea salt 1 cup, cilantro 1 cup, whipped butter (salted) 1/2 package, vermicelli 4 tsp, garlic salt 1/2, lemon Boil noodle
The following post is influenced by something that came up while out with my mother this week, along with thoughts I'll have every now and then about my life ten years ago. First of all, let me just boast about how wonderful it is to sit in a place of clarity, able to speak from a place of love, make decisions with a peaceful heart and mind, and to love the reality of being nearly two years from forty. The photo above is from the year 2007. I was 27, in a cute little studio in the valley, a cute four year old domestic short hair fur child named Dutchess ruled the place.. and in a relationship with a south central native that could have been written for a soap opera, really. I was happy, grow

I suffer from either focusing on something else and draw a blank for tasty dinner ideas..... ...or I just do not feel like cooking altogether. Anywhooo.. Last month I received an email from Hello Fresh informing me that my sister had ordered a box for me. "How cool is this!" I said as I read about just what Hello Fresh is. Since a considerable amount of the month was spent entertaining, I set the schedule up for the meals to come at months end. Hello.. Hello Fresh, I must say that I am THOROUGHLY impressed. I think you may have very well one this lady o
Okay.. first things first, let me keep it real and honest here.. I LOVE BEING SUZY HOMEMAKER.. ALL OF THE TIME. One of the things I enjoy most in life is the ability to do and be whoever the hell I want, doing whatever the hell I want. I love having a company, being a photog chick, and tending to the loft that I share with my husband. Over the holidays, spending time with beloved friends was priority numero uno, and lots of holiday treats, wines, brandy and rum happened. Oh hello, my darling angel! How 'do, my handsome soldier boys! I literally almost cried because I did not want to take down the holiday decorations last week. I also.. however.. did not want to be the person that kept them u
Great Escapes. Extensive Travel. Vacations. Getaways. Is one truly getting away for peace of mind? For time to connect with earth? With self? Ones surroundings? Ones loved ones? Or IS ONE RUNNING? Not as in a jog at 5:30 a.m. each morning. As in running to get the best this.. the best that.. the first this.. the first that. 'Humble brag' rights? 'Photo Op' rights? "I was the first one to do this or that..' rights? "I hope so-and-so is watching.." rights? "I wonder if 'X' will think this is okay.." rights? Running.. With feet planted firmly on the ground. Mind, Racing. Never Pacing. First to do all accept Get It Together. One can run.. .. but one cannot hide ones unresolved issues. Simply add
