Thursday Theme: LAS VEGAS!




Along with every other fun-loving person on the planet, I have a deep obsession for the desert paradise of Las Vegas, Nevada. My affinity for the place began when I was a kid. My family would take trips to visit my grandparents, who lived near the Strip.

 From the "ding! ding! ding!" of colorful slot machines to the rumbling rattles of quarters hitting metal (a sound sorely missed), to the dry, hot heat blowing through my hair, Las Vegas has always been a city near to my heart. Below are some of the things I like to do when in town:


Food: 
Ferraro's Italian Restaurant (phenomenal)
*Earl of Sandwich inside the Paris - affordable & delicious for a quick bite!

Activities: 
Circus Circus (a childhood favorite)
Liquid Pool Party at Aria
Fremont Street/Downtown Las Vegas - Always a treat to stop in for some zip-lining or a fried Twinkie

Shows:
Cirque du Soleil (I've only seen Zumanity but would absolutely love to see more)

Interior Tuesday

Ahh looking at the date of my last post brings disappointment. I can't believe it has almost been a full year. What I had originally intended to be a brief hiatus quickly escalated into a whirlwind of negativity, immersion into self-pity over a terrible work life, and blind-sidedness to "the good things".  Slowly, with the help of many patient friends & family, I am returning to my former positivity-seeking self.  Being that it is Interior Tuesday , I wanted to showcase the playful motifs of these fun fairy quarters'. Inspired by a turquoise-toting, beaded, bohemian beauty of mine who has painstakingly berated me with her relentless optimism over the last several months.

Thursday Theme - Barbecue!

It is after 8pm, and it is 85 degrees outside. So, we have been making full use of our excellent disposable barbecue I bought back in July, for the 4th of July. Cooking indoors with no a/c is not even an option right now.  I bought my cute little bbq for $13.99 at Ace Hardware. Granted, it does not have a cover. (I have sometimes created a makeshift one using aluminum foil). But for a perfectly efficient, cost-effective grill for those limited on space, it is such a treat.  I especially love cooking using Cowboy brand hardwood lump charcoal. Forgive my ignorance, but I had never known about these natural briskets until recently, and I love them. They have a nice flavor, and I really like the idea of using real wood to cook. There is something very homey and rustic about it.  Anyway, I hope everyone is staying cool (or warm) on this Thursday night. Happy almost Friday! >.<
