Wow...J. Crew really got it right with their bright color palette for spring! I love the WOW statement of a monochromatic outfit with pop of contrast accessories. J Crew is such a great example of how really simple pieces, in bold colors, with some PERFECT styling can be AMAZING. Is spring here yet??

Kenny and I are planning a little Vermont getaway in the near future, so I thought all these goodies would be appropriate for a cozy cabin retreat! Believe it or not folk I have NEVER skied...nope...never. The idea of it is kinda terifying to me since my balance isn't too great (too many long appendages). Those vintage wooden skies above once belonged to Marilyn Monroe....sooo I guess if she can do it so can I. Honestly I really just want to hang out at the lodge and drink mulled wine. Is that so wrong?

I can't help but find so much pattern and color inspiration in this pyrex! I have a collection of these myself and they are such a joy to cook with. It makes every meal a little more colorful.

They are known as digestive aids, once patent medicines and the key ingredient to a Manhattan. Bitters are defintely having a moment in the cocktail scene these days and rightly so. Brad Thomas Parsons, authour of Bitters said "People say bitters are the salt and pepper of the bar, but really, they're like the spice rack."
Bitters are flavored concoctions made from high-proof alcohol infused with fruits, spices, roots and barks like gentian and cinchona. The best know commercial bitters are Angostura and Peychaud's. Most bitters were created over a century ago and just a dash of them can make or break a drink! These days mixologists are trying to replicate the old reliables and making there own unique varieties like Mole, Jamaican Jerk, and Celery.
Want some great bitters to try? Try Scrappy's Bitters from Whisk in Brooklyn. Feeling adventurous and want to make your own? Look HERE and HERE. Oh and want to cure your hiccups? Take a lemon wedge, coat it in sugar, then douse it with some bitters. Bite down. Works every time.
