This take on Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon makes me giddy:
Always play with your food

Good morning, beloved one!
It's not the sugar that attracts you to the sweets aisle
IT'S THE SUPER CUTE FACES.

Foxie's Hangout. Yumm. Victoria, Australia.

I shall call it Pronk, or Still Life in a Fancy Kitchen.
Auslandia
My job was to decorate for the holiday lunch. Chopped some arms off the tree. Stuck birds on them. BAM — instant table art.

Want to pretty-up your Thanksgiving dinner meats? Puff pastry!
Warning: cooked puff pastry gets extra puffy, so plan your design accordingly (margin of puff error?)
Puff pastry (from Trader Joe's) comes in frozen flat sheets. It's easy to work with, has that perfect flakey texture, and even tastes great alone. Here's some tips on how to use it for quickie appetizers. (In college my friend Maggie would wrap gouda slices in Pillsbury crescent rolls, delish! I'm going to sub the tubed dough for Puff and see if I can recreate the treats.)

Salad Boy
* ode to the Salad Boy, who builds bags of fresh greens for bossy mothers every Sunday morning at the Main Street farmer's market.
This is for you, dear Salad Boy.
I made a detailed mess while eating chocolate
Do you see the face? I'm pareidolic.
SF Beer week
Fork chop, baby
Bored at dinner? Try some fun juxtoposition with the app Diptic. It does what the name suggests, makes a diptych.
Good morning, Richmond VA
Bar for brunch with Boggle, BYO fruit.
Good fortune NYE in Philly
Rang in 2010 (aka: the year of kerning) with lovers & strangers && cats in Flipadelphia.
Good fortune feast: Mike and I struggled to find an open Chipotle in Maryland on NYE. The only feature the Chipotle iOS app doesn't have is telling you whether or not the place is actually open. & as luck would have it, Ryanbrian brings our craving to the fiesta: 17 gallons of pico & guac and about 2000 crispy corn treats tossed in lime.
Good fortune felines: Marty McFly has a dizzy cerebellum and walks like he's intoxicated. Rooney was broken in other various ways too. Bless their little keet hearts!
Good fortune fest: Following the sounds of trumpets in the AM brought me to this flamboyant parade (which I later learned is called the Mummers Parade). The parade hadn't quite started yet so I walk through the sea of costumes and chat with these people. Each glittery, feathery parader had a beer in their hand (or a pretzel) and was dancing in the new year. Wonderful.
"Parades just bring out so many emotions in me: joy, exciting, looking…"
