Yellow and Gray

So I have been in love with yellow for the past couple of months. One of my favorite pairings with yellow is gray. I find it so happy and playful yet sophisticated.

If I had my wedding to do over again, gray and yellow would be my colors! It's light and airy, it’s a tad quirky and it’s the perfect palette for spring or summer weddings.

I may not be able to have a wedding do over, but I have been itching to redecorate my kitchen! The walls are already yellow so it would just be a matter of incorporating some gray and black accents.

Anyway, here are a few yellow and gray items from my shop…

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse!!!

I saw The Twilight Saga: Eclipse last night. Ok, I admit, last night was my second time seeing it. I went to the midnight showing opening night at the IMAX with my girl friends. Last night we all took our husbands, who were very good sports!

Once I got past all the horrible wigs I was able to really enjoy the movie. This one really stayed true to the book and I really liked the action scenes. Though, I did my fair share of eye rolling, I have to say I had fun with this one! I wouldn’t give it an A+ or anything but it was definitely enjoyable. Of course I am a Twilight fan and in the end I think I’m just too close and too biased to be a good judge.  

BUT I will say that as with the previous movies, my favorite parts include Billy Burke as Charlie Swan. He steels every scene he’s in and has the best acting skills of anyone in the film.

Anyway, I created an Eclipse inspired etsy treasury that I think turned out really well! 

Enjoy!

Today's Lunch Menu

One f the perks of working from home is that I get to take the time to make delicious food for myself whenever I want. 

Today for lunch I made pan fried cod fillet seasoned with garlic & basil and a romaine and spinach salad with homemade blue cheese dressing.  

I seasoned the fillet with basil and garlic and cooked in a pan with a generous amount of butter (mmmm) over medium high heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until done. Salt and pepper to taste.

The ridiculously large salad (I ate about double what I have pictured) is one small head of romaine lettuce, roughly chopped baby spinach, croutons and homemade bleu cheese dressing. 

My husband works for a gourmet food distributor, Paris Brothers, as the cheese and charcuterie category manager so we always have an abundance of delicious cheeses and cured meats at our house. For the dressing I used Point Reyes Bleu (I would also recommend Maytag blue). I crumbled the cheese, added a bit of mayonnaise, sour cream, a splash of cream and salt to taste. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and black pepper. 

This so beats the ham and cheese sandwich I normally take to work!
