Early Morning Serenade

This morning I woke up to a hispanic man singing on a ladder outside my, second story, window.

My name according to Starbucks, Part 2

Apparently Amelia isn't a common name around here either...

Tasty Creations

Two fabulous dinners I made for my party of one :)

Tasty Creation Numero Dos: Linguine in a cream sauce with mushrooms, asparagus tips, lemon chicken, garlic, parsley, oregano, chives, and cracked pepper.

Tasty Creation Numero Uno: Red and green peppers, onion, cilantro, black beans, yellow rice and fajita chicken with pepper jack cheese and a pepper, tomatillo and lime salsa!

Merz & Bean, Day 1- St. Augustine

Merz & Bean Reunion! After a YEARRR, we FINALLY get to see each other again. Laura came down to visit me and will be here for a little over a week. Yesterday we decided to take a roadtrip up to St. Augustine so she could frolic on the beach, eat the most DELICIOUS shrimp ever, and check out all the little jewelry shops along St. George St.
