Café Felice's

So today I had a very nice day with my very creative friend Cat. We went to every book store in the county, flipping through old poetry and Shakespeare's sonnets. Along the way we went to this amazing little Café called 'Café Felice's. I haven't known this friend for a very long time, but for some reason I felt like I had known her for ages.

There's something about sharing a conversation at a quant little café, it just feels like it's meant to be. Fortunately, there was no more than

three people present while we gabbed about or lives, so that was a nice side dish. While we sat talking we both sipped on our very frothy and delicious

chai lattes. I must say it felt perfect, so if you're ever out and about in downtown Sarasota, Florida and feel like sharing some intimate

moments, then check it out. They have a very wide selection of teas and the most fabulous sandwich's.

Gidget

I don't know what it is, but I really love the movie Gidget. It's just so classic and realistic, a young lady that wants to be with the guys and learn how to surf. Of course this is just an opinion, but there are many a men who feel admiring when they see a "girl" rippin the waves better than they can. I've been surfing a few times, and amongst all the stares and looks I just ignore it. Anyone can surf if they want to, you just need to make sure you don't surf alone. You learn very quickly that if you're in the way of "real" surfers, then you will be given a lot of crap for it...ha trust me. Well I say go for it and try it, it's very good exercise, and when you finally make a wave it's the best adrenaline rush out there.

The Urge to Cook

I love to eat great food, but sometimes lacking the motication can pose a problem. I also hate going to the Grocery store, I'd much rather go to a fresh market where I know all the ingredients I buy are fresh and local. I love cook's like Jamie Oliver, all of his recipes are so delcious, fresh, and healthy. If I could hire one person to cook for me for the rest of my life, it would be him. Ok, I will say, that cooking can be relaxing, but I like to be in a good atmosphere, like a really nice kitchen, because your surroundings do affect the experience. I hate the kitchen I have right now, absolutely no personality, basically it's bogue in my book. My dream would be to have one of those older kitchens with great appliances, character, and preferably in place like France...Is that too much to ask? :) Well, I think not, I guess I"ll jsut have to marry a man who has money and can really cook...hmm...let's see if that happens.

Zinka!!!

Ever heard of it? Well if you haven't then you're missing out on fun in the sun. So anyways, "Zinka?" you say, yes it is a cool funky sunblock that comes in very hip colors. I own the fabulous pink zinka, and I must say, it's always fun to see peoples reaction while you're cruisin along the beach. It's not necessarily a bad look, but they're probably wondering why you're walking around with colored sunblock on your face. I have yet to buy all of the colors by Zinka, and when I do, I'll smear all of it on my face and walk proud...or goofy...which ever. Another little bonus from Zinka is that it smells delicious! I know it's not a food, but delicious seems to be a very appropriate word for it. It's like the best smell in the world!!! I'm a big fan of "beachy" smells, and when I say it smells good, I mean it. So if you're looking for a different look this summer, try Zinka...Do it!

Breakfast for Dinner

So the title would seem very appealing, as well as the picture above, but it wasn't the case for me. The pancakes I made tonight not too long ago were awful. There was scrumptious crispy bacon, a yummy asparagus and red pepper omellete, and then my Big-Uncooked-Crappy-PANCAKES!...Needless to say, my attempt at perfect pancakes did not compliment the other side dishes. I even tried to make banana and rasberry pancakes especially for my mom...but...unfortunately...I failed...and miserabley at that. Sometimes I have great pancake days, and tonight was without question one of the worst pancake days. I may have shed a lil tear because then I started to think..."What if I can't even make a cute breakfast when I'm married?!"...Will my husband leave me for an Unsurpassable Beautiful Pancake Maker!!!.....Of course I started to calm down, but my dinner did not settle with my morose stomach. So pancakes may not be my Forte, but I make a magnificent coconut cake with whip cream frosting, and berries sprinkled all over it. So ta ta for now......and daydream about how my pancakes could never satisfy "Anyones" taste.

Sharpie Art

Just sharing some more of my artwork, in fact, I did the one with bear last night (Sharpie w/ paper...needless to say my favorite combination.)

The Delights you find when waking up to Coffee

I love coffee...or rather, I fancy a glass almost every morning when I wake up. It's that almost-awake feeling, but once you see that your mother, boyfriend, or little sister is making you coffee, you instantly wake up with joy...well at least that's what I imagine. So what kind of coffee you say?...just the best New York roast there is, but I cannot have it too strong. I like it just right, so that the combination of sweet cream with a sprinkle of sugar can make a grand coffee bean experience. The mug choice also plays an important role in it as well, if not the most important choice when you go to get coffee. Forget using those earth-killing-stirofoam-cups...choose a cute little mug, with owls and hearts all over it!...or maybe something a little more discreet like a cream colored mug, that looks more like a little cauldron, with the markings of one word written on the inside...Tea...which may be a contradiction, but I do not yet have a mug with the word "Coffee" written on it, but I have yet to find it. So there is my intake on the subject of coffee, and I hope you will consider buying yourself a cute mug after you read this, because after all...coffee in an ugly mug ruins everything!...take my word for it :)
