Sea Salt & Pepper

And now for a Message from my Sponsor:

In celebration of their anniversary, Starbucks is honoring the past 40 years by reclaiming what they do best: elevating the coffeehouse experience. While I am a diehard fan of the Tall Skinny Hazelnut Latte—I often branch out if I am feeling a bit spunky!

The new sin to hit the scene? Starbucks Petites: A perfect way to complement a warm cup of their delicious coffee! Appropriately sized for a well-deserved afternoon treat, these little guys are even waistline friendly. Each of their Petites is under 200 calories, which means you can still feel good about treating yourself.

There are eight different Petites in all, including Cake Pops, Whoopie Pies, Cupcakes and Sweet Squares. But the best news to foam over? They're free of artificial flavors, artificial dyes, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial preservatives and artificial sweeteners. Well done Starbucks. Well done.

What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something loose-knit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful, that comes into my mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through. I should like to come back after a year or two, and find that the collection had sorted itself and refined itself and coalesced, as such deposits so mysteriously do, into a mould, transparent enough to reflect the light of our life, and yet steady, tranquil compounds with the aloofness of a work of art. The main requisite, I think, on reading my old volumes, is not to play the part of a censor, but to write as the mood comes or of anything whatever; since I was curious to find how I went for things put in haphazard, and found the significance to lie where I never saw it at the time.

I grew up watching cooking shows instead of cartoons. I get whisks and pastry brushes in my Christmas stocking instead of traditional trinkets. My favorite thing to do is frost a cupcake. My undergraduate degree was in Theatrical Costume Design, which means I take pride in how I am presented. I own monogrammed wine glasses, and my own set of Italian Vietri China. I collect English tea cups, and love a good cucumber sandwhich. I shop at J.Crew and Banana Republic and I have traveled to over %9 of the world. This blog began as a travel log while I was abroad, however like most things in life-- plans are subject to change, so here's to good food and good fashion!
