Loving Lucite

Thanks to my friend, Amanda who sent me a link to a great website... I found this picture of lucite chairs covered with fur that I adore, although I DO NOT like the surrounding decor or the dining table itself (as an FYI).



This Mercer Bench by Jan Showers would look F.I.N.E at the foot of a modern esque bed or in long narrow foyer.



Great Coffee Table

Foods I can't get ENOUGH of...

Some of my favorite things (which always include food and wine)...

Duck Confit Pot Stickers - with sweet gingered arugula, sesame seeds, and smoked tomato chutney



Arugula Salad

I make my own at home and I change it up every now and then. I normally use the following ingredients...fresh arugula, chow mein (dried) noodles, tangerine slices, grated feta cheese, grilled chicken pieces and low fat/no sugar rasberry or strawberry vinaigrette.

The picture below looks really good too. I will have to try pears in it next time. My mother makes the best salad with pears and pecans. Mmmm.




Lobster Mac and Cheese



Favorite Pinot Noir - La Crema



Favorite White blend - Conundrum White Table Wine



Carrabba's Chicken Bryan - topped with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes and a basil lemon butter sauce (I like mine without the sundried tomatoes) NOT a tomato fan.



Manchego and Havarti Cheese with Carr's Crackers







Hummus (most kinds)



...Just a few of my favorites. More favorites to come.
