There are few things in life better than smoked meat. And my favourite BBQ joint in London has graduated from a (delicious) food trunk and has opened a restaurant in Soho! The husband and I will be checking it out on Friday...stay tuned. My mouth is watering already.

welcome to 2012


Hello friends. My it has been awhile! I know we are practically halfway through January, but I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break and a great start to the New Year.

The husband and I just returned from a two week trip to India. It was incredible! I'll be posting pictures a bit later in the week and telling you about our adventure.

Today however, I wanted to share a little travel trick of mine. I always take the time, before leaving on a trip, to tidy the flat and change the sheets on our bed. I don't know about you, but in our home, finding the time to do this before a flight is always a challenge! The reward is worth it however, because when your poor travel wearied body finally makes it home, you simply jump in a hot shower and climb into bed. And trust me, there is nothing better after a long trip then curling up in your own bed with nice, freshly cleaned sheets. Bliss!

I have lots of fun things to share with you this year, it's going to be a good one. Happy days friends! It's nice to be back.

peanut butter + chocolate = happiness


Friends, have you heard of Spoon Fork Pig? This delectable food blog is created by two super cute girls from the good ole US of A. Coupled with awesome photography, they create crazy dishes that totally appeal to my American sensibilities. This recipe for example, combines three of my favourite ingredients - chocolate, peanut butter (!!) and ritz crackers. YUM. Something to take home to the in-laws perhaps?

Do you remember this amazing bracelet I found last week? I saw these earrings and couldn't help but think how they would be the perfect accompaniment. A little spendy? Yes. But stunning! How do you say no?
