Sunday Coffee Sippin'

Hi friends.  Had a great event at ZED451 in Chicago this past Thursday.  Such an awesome venue.  The outdoor deck was amazing - not to mention the weather and the food was scrumptious.  I'm actually going to be heading into the kitchen in a few minutes to attempt to make 2 of dishes that we had there...Shaved Brussel Sprout Caesar Salad (OMG - aMAZing!) and Etole Salad.  Wish me luck.  

On to this weeks Sunday Coffee Sippin' reads. (FYI - there is a theme emerging...can't you tell?)

I would have loved to have been a guest at "This Ultimate Dinner Party for Town & Country" by Mrs. Lilien 

Check out Mrs. Lilien's Cocktail Swatchbook.  It's a must have for all your summer parties.

Party Element:: Origami

I've been seeing origami swans and it got me thinking.  What a great party element.  You don't have to just create a swan.  Origami comes in all shapes and sizes and it's unique.  You can create an invitation, a backdrop for a dessert table, a seating placecard.  You name it.  

Sunday Coffee Sippin'

 

Ever since I saw this picture of thick grilled toast, I've been craving it.  So yesterday, off to the store I went and got a sourdough loaf.  Can't wait to make it this morning.  The boys will have a scrumptious breakfast.  As I'm sippin' my Sunday coffee, I thought I might help you out with some Valentine's ideas - since it is right around the corner.  Are you doing anything special for Valentine's Day?
