Seriously People !?!

When you are indoors, you take off the shades!!!

Let me rant a little bit here...

I do not understand what people are thinking when they enter a store and do not take off their sunglasses.  Unless you have a medical condition, I doubt that your eyes are sooo sensitive to the light inside the building. And no- recovery from an eye lift does not count. 

Furthermore, do not proceed to point vaguely at what you want on the shelf or counter as though the person working can see you are looking at in the case.  Hello- eye contact is important!

Indecision Paralysis... or Inspiration?

At a crossroads, I do not know what direction to take next in my personal and in my professional life.    I know I want to do something more than just a day-to-day job, but I am terrified of trying and failing.   Same goes for my dating life too.  It is so much easier to stay in the casual mode.   But not all that satisfying either.


I am posting some travel pictures that turned out rather well.  They are from past trips and they remind me that what I love is talking about travel and food.

Summer Herb Spagetti

Genius!   A dinner that is simple, fast, healthy and delicious!

I grabbed some of the fresh herbs from my patio garden.   Basil, Oregano, Parsley.   And mixed them with some buttered spaghetti.   Topped it with a little shaved pecorino romano for that bit of cheese and salt to counter the butter and the clean taste of the herbs....   and I got something fabulous.

I know it is a bit lazy to just put herbs and cheese on top of pasta, but the simple recipe allows the fresh and great quality ingredients to shine.     Now if I could just find some of those "natural" wines I keep reading about to go with this meal....
