Weekend notes:

:: I'm still off caffeine on a day to day basis, but I've been allowing myself the occasional cup of coffee or tea as a treat every few weeks. So far, so good. This particular cup had real cream in it and was served in our wedding china. And yes, we always eat toast directly off the counter. I guess we could start using plates.

:: Our wedding photos arrived (!) so you can expect to see more on that in the next few weeks. There are plans.

:: Since we sort of missed summer this year, we're eking out every bit we can, grilling every Sunday. Those are the same drinks we had last week, but shaken oh so professionally and with a bit of rosemary added. I probably should have noted that we use entirely unsweetened grapefruit juice, and for two drinks I mixed 3/4 of a cup of juice + 1/2 cup habanero tequila. Excellent and not at all sweet.

:: Kind of funny that last weekend started and ended almost exactly the same way as this one. Toast to tequila.

  4. I am always impressed when someone can quit or take a break from caffeine....I could only do it for half of my pregnancy and the beginning of breastfeeding. Yay for pie for breakfast!!

  8. I think the best approach to caffeine is to not start at all...but that's tricky.

    Your weekend looks so lovely!

  14. I'm glad you all understand the wisdom of the charcoal chimney! It has revolutionized our grilling life.

  17. @ Kathleen - It's the Vera Wang gilded weave pattern from Wedgwood.

    @ Sarah - I do live in LA, and the fog photo was actually taken in Santa Monica, near the Promenade!

    @ Kacey - I seriously don't know how anyone grills without a charcoal chimney!

  23. I can always toast to tequilla! Oh and I love this 'welcome committee".

  24. I love your wedding china!

    It makes me want to go and sort out my own. We couldn't make a decision before the wedding so have lots of vouchers to spend and still can't totally decide and have to sort out all our current plates and stuff.

    But if I could have such a beautiful cup of coffee maybe i will sort it out.
