The Strawberry tart with a chocolate spiced cookie...
Monday night, I arrived home a little tipsy and decided I wanted to make my office, RJW Collective a treat. And being that I was a little tipsy, I was a bit more bold and decided to construct a tart.
I had made Jacque Torres’ chocolate spice sugar cookies and had about half of them left over. The recipe is on Cookstr.com and had strawberries, so I altered the filling of a buttermilk...

LAByrinth Theater Company's Barn Series
It’s taken me most of my life to date to appreciate theater. But its moments like Monday night’s reading of Stephen Adly Guirgis’ new untitled play that totally reconfirm what a powerful medium it can be.
The play was a collective of incredibly talented actors. Philip Seymour Hoffman jumped out of the audience for a cameo, but the leads, all of them were dynamite. Especially...

Lovely. Sunday.
I woke up this morning to a phone call from Sean. He wants to give me a present, and take me to brunch. I respond, “Okay. See you in 30 minutes.” I throw on cloths and walk to a very closed Lower East Side. We end up dining at TeaNY. Immediately he gives me a vintage French comic book. Eggs, coffee, hot sauce, and conversation ensue. We talk about all we had accomplished ...

A button. It Plays Music toooooo!
I saw this and I want to make them and give them to all my friends. It’s like a steampunk mix tape with a feminine edge.
I’ve added it to my Svpply.

Perfect Science = Art
I’m having a major internal debate. Grad school for interactive design or attend the pasty program at the french culinary institute. Practicality or passion.
It’s so confusing. Even just accepting that I’d have something I like more than Ballet, which was my passion for so long. It even feels childish talking about ballet like that. If I could pin point what I loved about...

Last night was the Lacoste Holiday party and the extraordinarily brave Charlie Walk rode the mechanical bull. He was determined and I caught it on video!

I just backed up my Tumblr. Thanks Mashable
Mashable featured an article about backing up Tumblr blogs. After the last outage and all the brands we’re managing on tumblr is made sense to make sure we have an offline back up of everything. All 600+ posts I’ve done over the past years.

"Blue Valentine" left me in pieces.
Last night I saw Blue Valentine. A beautiful weave of past and present to watch a couple fall in love as they fall apart. From the first moment of the film, you know where they are in present day, so this is not a spoiler.
It was so beautifully acted. Both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams gave incredible performances but I’m most impressed with the story. Derek Ciafrance wove an...

Tarts, Latkes, Ice Menorah and Free Sandals
Oh what a Sunday. The morning started with brunch at Choptank. I was celebrating a close friends birthday. It was just the two of us but I was so happy to get a chance to sit and catch up. The food was quite good. We got some crab dip to start and honestly, two days later I’m still full.
I made it home to do some work and bake a tart for a dinner party. A co-workers friends came by the...

Lykke Li last night @Lprnyc
Sold out and in the round, Lykke Li performed the hell out of the room. If only the photos I took could show the ambiance, but alas, the zoomed iphone photos just don’t cut it.
It’s so interesting watching her over the last year and a half. The first time she performed at LPR, the lighting was so dark no one could get a good photo. The majority of the room had just become acquainted...
