Fall Break

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I had a great extended weekend and it came at a critical point – I needed some time off.

Highlights included:

Shopping at Sanctuary Vintage – this great store is closing and everything was 75% off. In addition to some cute slips and several dresses, I bought an Alfred Werber gown that is now the most lovely thing in my closet. Joe picked up some suits including a daring blue western-y leisure suit and some wild plaid.

A yummy crepe and chocolate croissant from The French Market with Sonja. Later, we went to see Where the Wild Things Are which was beautiful and sad and dangerous and sweet.

I got to do a bit of cooking as well over the long weekend which was awesome. I love making food and it has been sad that I haven’t felt the motivation or had the time since I started the MBA. It was so nice to be slicing and grilling and spicing and taste-testing again. Dishes included:
red curry soup with noodles and shrimp served with salmon cakes and remoulade.
jonah crab claws with melted butter and lemon and sea salt – simple but effective.
chocolate gelato with fresh raspberries – this wasn’t really cooking, of course, but had to be mentioned.
tuna steaks grilled inside potato slices with olive oil, fresh dill, lemon, garlic, pepper and pink australian salt served with caramelized onions and walnuts and curried deviled eggs – the spicy tumeric-y mustard of the eggs was so good with the other dishes.

A pile of spooky movies – this is a household tradition when the Halloween season rolls around. There won’t be a party this year because I will be at a conference in California the last weekend of the month so we are just going to celebrate right up until I leave.

A very nice date with Joe to Sobu: wine and sake and asparagus rolled in new york strip and diced saucy tuna over seaweed salad and coconut-crab maki and eel-california maki and creme brulee and raspberry cheesecake – shared and delighted in. Some much needed sweetheart time

zzzzzzzz = the best part of the break was momentarily dispelling the sleep-deprivation.

Punk Rock Flea Market and Craft Sale

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

Although I do not particularly care for getting up at 7am on a Saturday (particularly after a very rough week at school) I did it today. And the day turned out to be awesome. A lot of fun young entrepreneurs, live music, and my very first time selling my jewelry. It went really well and I had a great time. 9am to 9pm felt like forever but it was nice to have a chance to make stuff and talk to people about what I do.

If you met me today and have any questions about something you bought or missed out on, get in touch.

I will get my work posted on here soon and update it as new pieces are created.

NAWMBA dinner

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Went to Litton’s in North Knox on Friday. The food was delicious, as usual, and the desserts were amazing.


It was nice to have a girl’s night and to talk more to the second-year MBAs. There were only two of us 2010ers there. Got some input on the summer internship search and found that someone else is looking for west coast jobs as well.


If you ever get a chance to try a Baby Jane, don’t pass it up. It’s worth packing up half of your meal so that you have room left.


Check out Litton’s.
