Another trivia night in the books. We may not have won, but we did score the bonus question token and that’s really all the validation I need 😂 Plus when the drinks are this good, everyone leaves a winner 🙌🏼
✨
Victor Tango: tequila, cucumber, mint, lime, cane sugar 💚

I’ve spent the last few days binge watching the latest season of Top Chef. Every time I watch these incredible chefs compete, throwing down jaw dropping meal after meal, it makes me desperate to jump right into my own kitchen and cook up everything in sight.
✨
More or less, I’ve been doing just that, pulling together ingredients, baking, pickling, sautéing. ✨
I love cooking in my new kitchen here in Dallas, but in the same breath, I am missing my kitchen in Atlanta something fierce. My new house is an exciting project in the works, and one thing I don’t have here is a pantry like this one. It was my baby, painstakingly painted by hand. It was the pantry of my dreams!
✨
In Atlanta, I had a spot for every single thing in my kitchen. A well stocked, well organized pantry does wonders when it comes to being innovative and creative in the kitchen and I’m realizing I need to come up with a system that works best for me in my new space. ❤️ .

About last night...in Deep Ellum. ✨
Started things off at a Mexican cocktail spot, @ruinsdeepellum. Had a killer mezcal cocktail, the Demonio del Sol (mezcal, amargo, orgeat, lime, egg white). Sounds bizarre, but it reminded me of slightly smoky marzipan. (and I loves me some marzipan). So balanced. A must try. ✨
Next up was Mt. Joy and Rainbow Kitten Surprise at The Bomb Factory. It was my first time seeing RKS live and now I’m compelled to follow them around the country going to all their gigs. I guess that makes me a kitten head? 🌈 🐱 🤔 I’m cool with that. They were THAT good. ✨
Post show we met up with friends at @shoalsdeepellum, another must try craft cocktail spot. I had the Derby Sangaree (Buffalo trace bourbon, ruby port, raspberries, lemon, nutmeg). I’ve missed my favorite Atlanta boozy slushie (Victory Sandwich Bar, it’s been too long!) but this combination of bourbon, raspberry and shave ice might be able to fill the ATL sized hole in my heart. ❤️ (ps- it’s the one pictured above)

Earlier this morning I was sat outside, eating strawberry Pop Tarts (hadn’t had these in years and it was GLORIOUS. No regrets.), drinking a latte and devouring Little Fires Everywhere (I feel like everyone I know has already read this but better late than never yeah?). ✨

Right now I’m painting furniture in the garage and listening to Nick Offerman’s Paddle Your Own Canoe. ✨

Next I’ll avoid watching paint dry (yes literally) by editing photos and posting a new piece of furniture on my website. Not entirely sure why I just logged this chunk of my day, but here we are. 🤷🏻‍♀️ .

Spent this Valentine’s Day making and photographing and drinking all things pink. 💕
The best had to be this strawberry infused take on a French 75. My brother’s calling it the ‘Say I’m a Bird.’
💕
For more on his strange choice for a cocktail name and the recipe for this tasty libation head to @behindthebarcart 🥂🥂🥂

These brownies. They are a serious problem for me. I can’t make a batch without giving the bulk of it away. If I’m left alone with them, they’re never long for this world. Square by square, these bad boys disappear at lightning speed. DANGER signs should be posted on the container I keep them in. Head to my site (link in my bio) to check out the recipe and make these for yourself. 🍫😍💗 .
