indulgences
it's the weekend, people! i started my day by running (7) errands before noon. that's my new helen heath pocket on my greatly improved canvas shopping bag... thanks again, helen! it makes groceries even more lovely :)
now it's time for some indulgences. they don't have to cost much (or anything) but they can be so very satisfying...
slather a toasted buttery croissant with bonne maman raspberry preserves and drink an iced coffee.
take a walk early early in the morning before the day grows heavily humid and too hot. there are hollyhocks blooming in the alleys near the edge of the park. i had forgotten how much i love hollyhocks...
for a couple of dollars get a few spring rolls at the vietnamese bakery around the corner...
take a nap in the clean sheets...
make espresso late in the afternoon, tho i know i shouldn't...
wear my vintage clogs around the apartment to break them in because the leather is stiff and the shoe repair man said there was nothing he could do to soften them... even tho i know i shouldn't. wooden clogs on wood floors over the neighbors downstairs... i'm stepping as softly as i can.
have a cocktail to compliment all the green goddess dressing i've been consuming (i made a replacement batch). i call this
the ginger goddess
1 ounce ginger/vanilla bean infused simple syrup
2 ounces light rum
juice of one lime
splash or two of sparkling water
ice
cheers!
have a happy weekend
Those clogs are tres joli but the winner of your weekend definitely has to be the ginger goddess.I have taken a liking to this drink only no ginger/vanilla syrup.We don't have that here.The rest of the ingredients though go very well together.
