"There were never more charming assembly-line cogs than inkers and painters, in their rayon print dresses, pearls, and heels, or the high-waisted, flared pants and slip-ons that Katharine Hepburn had made fashionable. Their makeup was perfect, too—drawing a fine line around their eyes and lips was easy compared with refining the taper in Pluto’s tail."

Let me dance to the music you play.
On a recent business meeting I got to visit a local & independently owned coffee house, Bean & Leaf. The Chocolate Freeze I ordered was awesome. It was perfect for the hot and humid days that have been plaguing Metro Detroit this summer. What also caught my eye was the boxed water they were selling. I thought it was an interesting spin on the bottled water. It tastes the same as bottled water but on the box it explains to you why the box is better than the bottle. Recyclable,smaller footprint, 10% of their profits go to world water relief foundations, and another 10% of their profits go to reforestation foundations. All good things. Bean & Leaf may break me of my Starbucks habit.

During a trip recent trip to NYC, my boyfriend and I had a great experience at a little italian restaurant on the Upper West Side. You walk into a cozy tiny restaurant that also acts as a meat counter. Hanging from the ceiling and lovingly placed in the counter is an array of cured, salted and smoked meats. Had we just walked into heaven? After sampling an array of small plates, the time came to order dessert. We settled on the concoction that included, Prosciutto Brittle. We were nervous and excited but once we took the first spoonful we knew we had made the right decision. The creamy vanilla nougat flavored ice cream, topped with crispy, chewy, salty prosciutto was complimented with small cubes of cantaloupe. We ate it in record time and all but licked the plate clean. We left wishing we could take home a bag of that brittle.
Probably daydreaming of that dish my boyfriend stumbled upon this little shop. While it doesn't feature prosciutto brittle, it does have CANDIED BACON! The Sticky Pig online shop. I may have to order some of these treats...:)
