Boyfriend and I had an amazing dinner over the weekend at BLT Steak. (Back of the menu is what you are looking at above). It was the best dinner either of us has had in a long time, and that’s saying a lot (at least I feel like it is). You can read all about it here. Trust me. You want to read it.

Lilsugar featured one of my pumpkin recipes today (see! that’s me! bottom right!) that mean, basically, that I can’t put off using pumpkin for another week. I was trying to wait until it was officially October, but that dream is dead. I think it will have to happen this weekend.

Somehow I came across this article (maybe because “bagel” is in the name?) on Huffington Post about Japan’s newest beauty craze… apparently it’s all the rage.
