For my birthday my fabulous, one-of-a-kind, wonderful mother bought me…..
TADA!
My very own, state-of-the-art, adorable blue, practically perfect, dream-come-true LE CREUSET dutch oven.
“The classic, everyday cocotte is perfect for soups, stews, sauces and other one-pot favorites. Painstakingly sand-cast and finished by hand, timeless enameled cast-iron French oven distributes and retains heat beautifully. Safe for oven, stovetop, refrigerator and dishwasher. Made in France since 1925.”
When the box came from Sur la Table I could hardly contain myself. I was giddy like a school child at recess. An absolutely terrific surprise.
THANKS MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One time I stumbled upon the shop in Soho and I nearly keeled over with glee.
I was just looking through my pics and I realized I never blogged about Cape Cod!! My goodness, well, it’s ABOUT TIME. Wouldn’t ya say? It is the first day of fall after all. Bummer. I miss summer.
This year’s trip (4th annual) started out pretty rough. Cold. Windy. Rainy. Yick.
Still though, we found ways to entertain ourselves like eating LOTS of delicious meals cooked by my mom and Grammy, doing a little window shopping on Main Street, and watching the Red Sox kick Toronto AND Seattle’s be-hinds. :)
Also, I devoured The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
This book was 110% nuts.
It’s fast-paced.
Exciting.
TERRIFYING.
And, it was amazing.
You should probably read it. Like, now.
Just read it. READ IT.
Aaaaanyways. Where was I? Oh yes, CAPE COD. Glorious, CC.
Cape, I love you.
After a few days of rain, the skies finally cleared and the sun shone bright… OH so bright! We got a chance to finish off the week doing what we love best, beachin’ it!
Here’s some pics from this year’s vacation:
The lovely house!
