payday wishlist
throw pillow : i could spend hours browsing on society6, this pillow really catches my eye / sandals : i wear all my sandals to death, it’s time for a fresh pair like these slingback boardwalk sandals from madewell / ring : one of those simple statement rings that i could totally wear everyday. i’m thinking of telling my boyfriend i want this emerald oval ring for my next present / speaker : i still want a big iphone dock speaker, but i want this one too! the vers 1q portable speaker is the perfect size for my shower singalongs / backpack : i like carrying a backpack when i’m traveling so i can fit everything inside and get horrible tan lines – this striped one is really just too cute.

eyes + ears // 17
i grew up in boston for 16 years, and every year, going to the marathon was a big exciting day. we never missed it. hopefully – this event in the future, that should be filled with so much joy and strength, won’t be tarnished by such a terrible act.
also, patton oswalt had a really sweet statement about the tragedy. read it here.

eating this : the best bruschetta ever
i’m all for some bruschetta on baguette, but the jumbo version on a big thick piece of bread kills it.
now that pretty heirlooms are showing up at the grocery store, it’s time to take advantage.
on a warm afternoon, i love making this for us to sit outside and nosh on with drinks.
get GOOD THICK BREAD. i got a thick rosemary garlic loaf that was baked that day.
THE BEST BRUSCHETTA EVER
makes four pieces3 heirloom tomatoes, thickly chopped
one loaf fresh bread (sliced into 3/4″ thick)
a bunch of fresh basil
olive oil
kosher salt
3 cloves garlic
herbs de provence
red chili flakes
cracked pepperchop the tomatoes and mix together in a large bowl with enough olive oil to thickly coat. add two minced cloves of garlic with all the spices to taste. let it marinate for about an hour, mixing occasionally.
slice up your bread and heat a pan with oil. make sure each side of the bread is covered with oil and fry each side for about 2 minutes or until browned. cut the head off a clove of garlic. as soon as it’s removed from the heat, rub the garlic clove onto the top side of of each piece of bread.
spoon the tomato mixture on top of each slice and add the chopped basil and season more.
have the most delicious heart burn ever.
