This is the last of the three Gerbera plants I got for my birthday. The light in our living room is pretty awesome in the middle of the afternoon….when it’s sunny, at least!

Back in the day, when all my Aussie ex-pat friends still lived here in Boston, we would occasionally attend events on ANZAC or Australia Day and enjoy delicious sausage rolls and meat pies. And they went fast, because it’s hard to find Aussie goodies like that around here. Until now. Because now the same guy that used to make those sausage rolls and meat pies has opened up shop and is serving them up, hot and delicious as ever, six days a week! Nomnomnom!
KO Catering & Pies is everything I hoped it would be! They have a huge, awesome community table that you can sit at and eat if you don’t order take out, and when I was there I got to chat with one Kiwi and an Aussie couple who were very happy to dig into their meat pies. The owner of the shop also popped out and sat and chatted with us for a bit and it was great to hear him talk about how well they have been doing – selling 250-300 pies a day when he thought they would be selling 50 a day at most. They even sell Milo and Tim Tams!
I had the classic with cheese (because they had already sold out of the classic for the day) and the potato wedges with sour cream and sweet chili sauce. Then I spent the next 36 hours day dreaming about how soon I could go back and do it again! I’m anxiously waiting for them to get the food truck up and running, and hoping that they’ll be parking it near the financial district so I can have meat pies for lunch every once in a while during the week. Or every day.

Thank You Sir, May I Have Another!
We went to Anna & Alex’s house for dinner tonight, and I made s’mores cupcakes for dessert! I need an excuse to make these again, I think I have some tweaks that will make them even better!

The Hamptons (daaaaaahling)
You guys! I’m making progress on my fall to do list! This here is evidence of number four. And an awesome weekend.
Four of us drove down together and thoroughly enjoyed our extended girls time – we usually manage a girls night each month, but 36 hours in a row? Now that’s a girls weekend! We got lucky and had gorgeous weather for our drive and ferry rides. With no major snafus we made it to Sag Harbor with plenty of time to pop into Bay Burger to surprise Joe and get a ridiculously delicious lunch. And because it was my first time there (and will absolutely not be my last!), we documented it. Can you tell I was excited? You guys?! I have a ridiculously high bar when it comes to burgers, and this burger? It cleared that bar easily. SO GOOD.
After lunch we headed over to the shower to cook and set up. The shower was at a property owned by Peconic Land Trust, and I was pretty impressed when we first pulled up in front of the house. But when I walked through the doors? Yeah, I thought I’d died and gone to my mid century modern heaven. If we could take that house and all it’s furnishings and artwork and move it to an urban setting? Yes, please! I’ll take it! But enough of my babbling – click here to see a slideshow of the house and Liza’s shower.

I walk by this house every time I go to and from the T, and until a few weeks ago the yard was completely overgrown and a bit creepy. One day I was walking home from work and the yard was completely cleared, and you could see the awesome potential of this house. Since then, there have been two dumpsters full of junk cleared out of the house (and it looks like more to go!), and I’ve been loving the evening light showing off how great the house looks with this gorgeous tree next to it.
