scenes from the weekend

happy monday!

i hope everyone had a great weekend! mine was equal parts fun and restful, and here are some snapshots:

friday night dinner: bistecca alla fiorentina over arugula salad

my dear friend mk's bridal shower: her sister, jen, is an event planner extraordinaire, and it was absolutely perfect in every way.

the beautiful bride! (i am obsessed with her dress...)

spring garden overhaul! from left to right: cilantro, basil, rosemary, thyme, and hyacinths. that's horus, the owl, keeping an eye on things.

baby's first catnip - note the manic facial expression.

sunday dinner: southwestern spice-rubbed pork chop with dirty rice and cilantro-lime slaw.

not pictured: a 6 mile run/walk to the beach in norwalk (not pictured for good reason!)

in other news, the grocery store near me now sells chopped kale, so stay tuned for an amazing salad recipe later this week!
