La Orange Grande

we ate at their outdoor spaces which was really nice and cool for the weather.

If you haven't seen this movie, get up now and go see it!

my attempts of BBQ have always been disasters, though I am getting the hang of it. Tonight's BBQ chicken was pretty decent, I need to control the timing better with charcoal but otherwise the chicken tasted great. The key is to marinade them for a few hours before they go on the grill, I only used dried rosemary, salt and pepper. Guess I will do even better next time, practice, practice!

I have a cook book by Julia Child and since I bought it it's been on my book shelf collecting dust, today in honor of the movie I saw over the weekend I made filets de poisson poches au vin blanc, a recipe from the Julia Child cook book. It turned out quite good, especially the mixture of onion, green onion and white wine, hmmm, yum!

I had so much fun today at the flea market! After that I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to buy anything from a shopping mall again. There were countless junks and treasures, I bought two necklaces and earrings from a lady who makes these herself, summer dresses and a vintage purse. What is a better way to spend sunday morning than picking out summer dresses? Honestly I don't think anything tops that. Over the weekend I saw two movies, In The Loop and Julie AND Julia, they were both excellenct movies, and so much humor in it. I was instantly inspired to cook again after watching all these yummy food in Julie and Julia, honestly, these days, all I eat are either fast microwaved foods or take out.

had Japanese with a friend, we both ordered jumpo shrimp and it was good, otherwise I'm going to clean my house from inside out tonight!

kosher cookies, I got them while waiting for a ramen place to open for lunch a few days ago. I don't really know what makes food kosher but they were really yummy!

a bowl from anthropologie, it's perfect for my jewelry and looks pretty on the night stand:)
