So long Ciao Bella! This homemade passion fruit sorbet is amazing and cost about 1/4 the price to make.
Oh YUM. Hot, freshly baked chocolate filled croissant. So. freaking. good.
Waiting for this hockey game to end so I can watch my Netflix copy of Coco avant Chanel
Also making passion fruit (parcha!) sorbet. It’s churning in the kitchen as I type.

Just saw a really fantastic (& double the size!) apt.
I changed the sheets today. I love a freshly made bed with crisp white sheets, don’t you?
The kibbeh came out delicious! Also made a tangy yogurt & garlic dip, and a cucumber salad. It was a great dinner.
Making kibbeh for dinner tonight. A dream fulfilled! :)
Eating a bowl of delicious riped cubed papaya. Think i might want my bridesmaid’s dresses to be this color!

Ugh. Just watched The Lovely Bones. Man, that sucked. I feel physically ill.
He agrees: RT @unluddite: The Lovely Bones.. umm.. more like the shitty, pretentious, anti-climactic bones.
Such a beautiful column (via @samsifton) http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/yellow_from_page_UxLj60H6UIjOYHlJA4aXmO
Meh. Got tabbouleh at the work cafe today, but it had practically ZERO parsley in it. Wrong wrong wrong!
someone’s car is stuck in the slush outside. I hear lots of whirling and car sighs.
She let me peek at the RAW shots and they looks so great. Am super excited for the issue to come out (in May)
Haha! I’m not the only Anti-Ikea one out there it seems: http://bit.ly/bbcemJ
I don’t have much use for dust jackets
I had SUCH a great time at the Real Simple shoot. The photographer who shot us is same one who photographed Padma & Gordon Ramsey’s books!

All the wedding planning books I ordered arrived today. Excited to stay in this weekend and go through them. I LOVE party planning! :)
Geez… All my pix have been rejected from Tastespotting lately. Even two I’m pretty proud of (http://bit.ly/ap6T88 & http://bit.ly/bKEUi9)
Editing a business letter for my mom. She sent it to me with zero context so I’m trying to fix grammar while figuring out what it’s about
Small scoop of toasted almond ice cream, generous drizzle of passion fruit puree, sprinkle of unsweetened toasted coconut. Yum.
It seems odd that so many stores don’t have online bridal registries available. I’m talking to you, Saks! It’s 2010—get with it.
home sick so laying in bed setting up our wedding registry.
RT @bzzagentjono: Snow Hurricane coming to the Northeast! You heard it here 1st. #Snowrricane http://bit.ly/51uIj
Off to take another oatmeal bath. Sometimes wearing sunscreen *isn’t* good for you (like when you’re allergic to it).
Contacted a few of the NYC venues I’m interested in checking out for the wedding. Let me know if you have any ideas or recs for good spots!
Back at work after a week and a half off. Can’t say it isn’t tough… At least I have a sparkly new rock to show off! ;)
Sipping day’s 2nd @bpcleanse juice. Not *quite* as yummy as passion fruit juice from the hotel in PR, but still pretty great!
drinking passion fruit juice & watching silly wedding shows on WE with @unluddite (HE is the one who put the show on; i just joined in)
now waiting at airport for my grandparents and aunt to come say hi before we leave for the states. flying delta to atl at 3:30 then to lga

Last night, @unluddite asked me to marry him. I said yes!!!!! We’re engaged!!!
