ok. it's sunday evening. it's snowing. it's cold. it's gray. how about totally homemade pizza? Mr. Blake (thanks to his metalhead years flippin' pizzas at various restaurants) makes the best pizza dough in the universe. (these are from craft fairy Martha Stewart)

more dyed clothespin
don't buy it, make 'em! (says the girl who ain't got time to MAKE anything herself these days). Ugh. So cute. You could make your own & even add magnets on the back for extra usages. Oh, and ain't the packaging idea super pimp? Love! by Olive Manna via Papersnitch via Pinterest
Wüsthof Santoku knife
i have wanted REAL knives FOR YEARS. A few years ago, my dear lovely mother in law (she is a sweetheart!) bought us a nice set by Wolfgang Puck and they're wonderful but nothing really CUTS and FEELS like a Wüsthof Santoku knife... sigh... :(
how it turned out...
not as pretty as what's her face's but pretty darn yummy. Don't think I could live without my cast iron cookware. It makes my eggs taste like they were made at a country truck stop in Texas, fried by some big haired waitress with big boobs named Patty, served with (tough) love and a southern twang. I loooove my cast iron. Wonder what I'll make for dinner. I'm in the mood to cook something complicated.
updates to come,
XOXO
