Nom Yummy: Food Trucks

I think it goes back to my dad and his "dirty filthy man" hot dogs in Manhattan, but I love me some truck food.  You name it, I love it - pretzels, hot dogs, meat on a stick, ice cream, sandwiches, BBQ - they all taste better handed to me from a window.


My all time best truck experience was at the famous Giovanni's Shrimp truck on the North Shore of Oahu in May 2010.  My friend SS, (my eating partner in crime lived there at the time), said there was no way we could miss it and I was so glad we went!  The shrimp are awesome...so awesome that we didn't take a pic til it was too late!

We also had one of the best hot dogs EVER (and I am a bit of an expert).  The garlic was unreal! 

And no trip's complete without the obligatory signing of the truck:

Then we did lots of this:

And a little of this:

MAHALO for the yums...I need to get back there ASAP!! 

*You're welcome for that little Friday distraction*

Meanwhile back on the mainland much closer to home...


When trucks began popping up in Dewey Square I could not  have been happier.  For the last six months or so the Clover, momogoose and Bon Me have been my steady lunch rotation when I am in the office.  I was out of town for most of April and when I came back this week Momo is now rotating days with BBQ Smith.  I went out for some BBQ on Wednesday and as it was the only day of (minimal sun) we had this week it was a zoo!  Went back today and despite freezing my butt off (and some hair frizzing!) the long wait was worth it!

(*Excuse my janky BB pics...someday I will be a real girl and get an iPhone...someday...)

I had the "Greek" chicken sandwich "Naked" - sans bread (but dang did that homemade bread look amazing!). Apparently it is not even on their online menu yet,  but consists of: pulled chicken with some sort of tomato-ish sauce, a tzaziki inspired sauce (one of my all time favs!), pickled cabbage (which I could have done without) and the piece de resistance: BACON BITS! Those bits were amazing, and I may or may not have eaten them all before I got back to my desk.  (Don't laugh, you would have totally done the SAME thing!).  For a side I chose the sweet potato and vidalia.  It was really good, great seasoning, I just expected it to be warm, not cold.  The first bite confused me, but delicious none the less.  And they have flavored Polar Seltzer in a can, another win win! 


I completely forgot that Greenway Mobile Food Fest is tomorrow!  I probably won't make it, but will see most of my beloved trucks on Sunday at the 2012 opening of Sowa Open Market.  A post to follow on Sowa next week, excited for an awesome Sunday of poking around, eating truck food, antique shopping and seeing what new goodies The Fashion Truck has to offer. 



Happy Friday - it's inching closer to cocktail time!

Obsessed isn't the word!  And after the Bacchanalia that was April I am taking a wee respite from shopping...but a gal can still look!  And with my birthday coming up I can also bookmark some things for gifties.


Discovered this early in the AM, and am obsessed!  In fact the whole shop is awesome, I am just a little wary of the pricing being so inexpensive (I have this very one and it was A LOT spendier than this little gem)

Koozie + Lilly + Monogram = Perfection in my book AND this print is named after a rad Dead song (Yup, I totally went to school in Vermont!).  I asked Mama for the matching Kroakies for my birthday....along with some new Revas.  In fact this whole shop is really awesome - want these and this. 

These are callin' my name for beach happy hour:

I love that these can also be done in a ton of different ways: 

This whole shop is calling my name and I may have ordered a skirt prior to my self imposed ban.  (And ordered jBp a little  graduation gift:).  It is almost identical to my beloved Cissy skirt at a fraction of the price with some really cool vintage Lilly fabrics.  The seller and I went back and forth on prints so many time I am not sure what I ended up with!  Should arrive at the Snow Goose in time for my birthday festivus. 

Last but not least I adore these...I would look like Mr. T in NY, VT, MA and NC...may just settle for NC as it's where my heart lies. 

Enjoy!


XOXO,

It's about time....

Don't adjust your calendar, it does indeed say my last post was in 2005.  (Dang that was an awesome year!).

I read so many blogs that I thought it was high time for me to come out and contribute a little something, not that I have any chance of contributing anywhere near the amount of info, humor, recipes, fashion advice and links my favs I given me over the past year, so thanks ladies.

Hope to post a ton on my globe trotting, fashion finds, cocktail imbibing, cooking and crafting.

Also, who can help a sista' out with some decor advice...this background is SO 2000 and late! Ok I figured out how to used a template, yay for progress! 

XOXO,

"Secret LOVERS, that's what we are..."

OK...so I am admitting an addiction (one of many, I know I know) of the largest proportion in my life: SHOES!

One may say, OK, makes sense, they fit no matter what, you can gain 10 lbs and they will still fit, you can shop for them on a "fat day" with no problems, right? WRONG-O! Not if you are little old me...and by little old I mean BIG me. I am almost 6 feet tall, and therefore wear between a size 10 and 11 shoe! You try finding an 11 in most stores. That said, whenever I find a pair I love that fit, I tend to buy multiples.

And jackpot did I hit last weekend: FOUR pairs! Two pair of cute beaded flats...olive and pink. And two pair of suede wedge heels with a boucle bow on the toes...black and brown. Now add this to the brown croc slingbacks w/ the suede bow AND the brown suede peeptoe patchwork stilettos from two weekends ago (and don't get me started on the tall brown boots too!) and that is SEVEN pairs in just over a week. Can we SAY OOC? Yes. 2-3 pairs...SO going back!

But I had such a fun/good shoe week:
Monday: black leather stilettos
Tuesday: grey patent kitten heels
Wednesday: brown snakeskin heels
Today: the aforementioned black suede wedges (SO cute w/ my new black tweed suit!)
Tomorrow: (YEAH HOLIDAY:) most likely rock green heels :)

Is there a support group??
