Mumford and Sons - The Cave

I can't get enough of these boys.

Monday, Monday!

I have basically been home sick all weekend, coughing, runny nose and sore throat.  That kind of sickness were nothing taste good, but despite that I can't stop thinking about this Lobster & Ricotta Pizza from Wit and Delight.  It look amazing, I must try this very soon.  I never would have thought to add ricotta and feta together along with lobster, avocado, prosciutto, basil, red peppers and to top it off with an egg, oh my, it sounds orgasmic. 

Also, I have been catching up on Grey's Anatomy.  Maybe it is because I have a fever but all of a sudden I realize Meredith Grey is extremely wise releasing random bits of wisdom that we could all apply to our lives..

Michael Pollen

     I have been thinking about food a lot lately, who am I kidding, I am always thinking about food.  However, I have been reading and re-reading Michael Pollen books hoping everything will sink in.  Awhile ago my children and I watched Food, Inc and I was so proud of my son when he decided to give up fast food.  When I grew up, I don't think my parents really thought about where our food was coming from.  I know my children have better eating habits then I did when I was a child, I actually think they have better eating habits then I do know. So I am going to try and spend this spring and summer focusing on some of Michael Pollen's food rules and buying as much food as we can at the local farmer's market and farms.

My Focus

1.  Eat food, not to much, mostly plants. 

 2.  Don't eat anything with more then five ingredients, especially ingredients you can't pronounce.

 3.  Stay out of the middle of the supermarket, sick to the perimeter because that tends to be where the real food is located.

 4.  "Always leave the table a little hungry", this one seems hard but I will try.

By the way aren't the illustrations from Michael Pollen's new book beautiful and what a great way to give children an understanding about food.

I Need Chairs

eclectic kitchen design by toronto interior designer BiglarKinyan Design

I can't stop thinking about metal chairs for my kitchen table.  They look so clean, fresh and modern.  Also, I am thinking they will hold up to the three boys in this house who just cannot sit still.   The whole reason I need new chairs is because the boys are constantly leaning back in the chairs.  It drives me crazy!  I really like the look of metal chairs with a dark wood table.

The chairs are from Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel and World Market

Amazing talk.

Happy Weekend

 This weekend I'm looking forward to celebrating my Sister's birthday. 

Hopefully getting some cleaning and organizing done.

 And enjoying these perfectly lovely Grey & Smoked Salt Caramels from Fran's Chocolates.

Seriously these are so delicious, I must hide them from the boys and my Dad.
