cigs

another thing i picked up in paris is an obsession with cigarettes. i've never smoked them, but i am suddenly interested in any art with cigarettes. i blame it on joseph szabo and "priscilla", who i fell in love with in a tiny art gallery in the marais. if it weren't for her price tag (and exchange rate, for that matter) she would be the centerpiece in my now cigarette obsessed art collection. but until i can have her, griffy will hold that position as my favorite.

riz au lait

b made his famous rice pudding last night and i was so excited to use my la fermiere pots to store perfect individual sized portions. best thing we brought back from paris (well.. that and the salted butter)

plus humphrey and bogey play in the backyard

pizza

i just bought tickets to outstanding in the field in lompoc for this summer and i can't stop thinking about it. the chef from full of life flatbread, one of my favorite places to eat, is the guest chef. to satisfy my excitement, b has been cooking full of life flatbread inspired pizzas (they publish their weekly specials on fridays!). we even started buying dough from our local pizza place instead of trader joes dough and it has made such a difference!
