pixie

Yes.  

That's me at three with a brand new

pixie haircut.

Went to luncheonette at the 5 & 10 after.

That's where I got the balloon on a stick.

As you can see by my expression,

I was not very happy with my new doo.

one-pan pasta

A must try.

This was too easy.

Best to do now as

tomatoes + basil

are in abundance.

One-Pan Pasta (adapted slightly from Martha Stewart Living)

• 12 ounces linguine
• 12 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
• 1 onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
• 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/2- 3/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
• 2 sprigs basil, plus torn leaves for garnish
• 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
• kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 1/2 cups water
• Lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, red-pepper flakes, basil, oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and water in a large straight-sided skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil mixture, stirring and turning pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, divide among 4 bowls, and garnish with basil. Serve with oil and Parmesan.

We saw them live at
Pinkney Park in Rowayton, CT

More on that magical experience tomorrow.
Here's a taste for you now:

Holy cow.  

I have never felt so overwhelmed.

This end of summer & new school year 

has really thrown me for a loop.

 I feel a bit better and slightly rested

today, day #2 back to school.

So I am regrouping here

and not committing myself to anything really

until I am settled into this new routine.

Found this on 

pinterest.

Amen.

warm

Warm is a new fave shop in NYC.

This looks like fun!

Worth a trip I say.
