my obsessions never stop searching for their next reward...

music monday - new mumford & sons

the latest mumford & sons album, babel, was released last week and this song so far has been the one that has stuck around at the back of my head.

culinary apothecary

new york mouth is a timely new online store that compiles, curates and sells a carefully crafted variety of hard to find and delicious gourmet small batch artisanal treats. no need to search for the best jams or chocolates or snacks all over town - a great many of them are now a click away.  my virtual shopping cart is currently filled with everything you see below - waiting to proceed to checkout!
have a sweet and savory weekend.

perse please

it's october, and although it's been 90 degrees outside this past week, cool weather is on tap for this coming weekend. i'm more than ready for a perfect fall slight nip in the air day, preferably with my wish list james perse items from this season's collection. 

half the sky on pbs

one of the most informative books i read a few years ago just became a documetary on pbs. it aired this past monday and tuesday and is now available for streaming for only one week online. if you didn't get a chance to read the book, set aside a few hours in the coming week and watch half the sky on the pbs video site - it's hugely eye-opening and possibly life changing.

tacos de mariscos

one thing that los angeles does better than anywhere else in the states is taco's. i realized i had never had and didn't know anything about authentic, delicious mexican food until i moved here (and went to mexico) and in that realization has come my love for fish taco's. i could easily and willingly eat a fish taco several times a week here and if i lived closer to my favorite, ricky's fish tacos, i probably would. the la weekly just published their list of 10 best seafood taco's in the city - a couple of which i have already entered into google maps for near future taste testing.

a friend sent me this song last weekend - perfect accompaniment to monday coffee and tropical fruits.
