Just saying..........

This guys leather pants wear amazing! great color but a bit too tight on him.

New discovery yum!!! love the plain yogurt with granola and pineapples.

So I had to take a picture of this lady. Love it! The hair matching the trench coat or was the coat matching the hair?

Cute car, but really who drives this thing? I got claustrophobic just looking at it.


Sweet flowers from a friend.

Arrrgh...laundry awaits. No fun especially when I have to drag it up and down 5 flights.

Score!! lucky me! I was given these cool Karl Lagerfeld aviator sunglasses.


I am not enjoying the fact that it gets dark sooooo early.

Domestic Goddess???

Started off the weekend with a purchase of a new purse. I know do I need another bag??? YES!!! Had to, I get a great employee discount at work. Work hard play hard. NO...... correction work hard shop hard:) This bag reminds me of something Ali MaccGraw would of worn in the movie LOVE STORY.

Here is a picture of the start of the baked penne with roasted vegetables that ,I slaved over for my dinner guest. Please note that I made the marinara sauce from scratch YES I DID!


I also made a rosemary with white bean soup. The beans were dried not canned, boy they take forever to soak 6 to 7 hours. It was well worth it. Hearty and delicious.
Thank you BAREFOOT CONTESSA. Recipe # 1 from her cookbook( page 83).


Here she is! baked penne with roasted veggie's. I got this recipe from Everyday Pasta by Giada De Laurentiis.


My dear friend Yolonda and my sous chef made this yummy dessert. Cheesecake topped with condensed milk and blueberries.


The fashionable footwear of some of my guest. Jan in blue and his mother Aukje in silver


It was a stylish sneaker type of an evening. Yolonda also had some cool footwear.



Chatting with my guest.


One of the best things about cooking for friends is LEFTOVERS!!! All mine. Yes I did send some of my guest home with doggie bags.


After all that hard work in the kitchen. I treated myself to a blow out. There I am looking like cousin IT from the Adams Family.
