I have been following Tré since the early days of her wonderful tumblr, The White Elephant in the Room. Now that her book has been published, I thought it would be fun to host a tumblr-centric reading/book club with the author herself. I’ve been in touch with Tré and we are trying to finalize a date we are set for Monday, August 5th!
It’s a great chance to meet other NYC tumblrs and eat, drink, laugh (and cry) together. Reply or message me if you are interested in attending.
If we outgrow my apartment, I have an alternate event space I can use— so spread the word AND GO BUY THE BOOK!
This week’s manicure: OPI My Very First Knockwurst with Esssie Good As Gold dots on my right ring finger and left pinkie.
Dinner: M made shrimp and blue cheese grits with balsamic onions and Andouille sausage. Not the most photogenic meal, but damn it was delicious. This recipe is based on a dish from Tiburon Grille in Atlanta where I put in some serious time as a waitress and hostess. We don’t vary much from the original recipe and it has been a standard in our household for many years.
Bouchon Bakery has the best iced tea in all of NYC. (And the ham & cheese baguette is pretty good too.)
What is up with summer flight prices? I’m trying to get to Oklahoma for a family reunion on July 20th and M wants/needs to go with me. I’m not paying 1200. for us to fly into OKC. That’s crazy.
This is a fun pedicure color. It’s got to stay fresh for M’s surprise birthday trip next week.
