Boy opening his presents. Remember them here? 

Recipe: Chilean Sea Bass

Today's recipe is brought to you by boy's excellent skills in the kitchen. On Friday evening, we decided to forgo the usual pizza and wine and go all out for dinner at home. Finding himself at the waterfront fish market yet again, Philip selected a succulent piece of sea bass. To complement his choice, we had some jumbo shrimp for a shrimp cocktail appetizer. It's one of my favorite dishes so bravo, my dear. 

We decided to sear the bass and season with a grape tomato salsa, adapted from this recipe. The basil puree of simply basil and olive oil really made the dish. Mixed with the dill, tomatoes and Cubanelle pepper, it was delicious. 

February Resolution Experiment

Well, January is complete,  and we are well on our way to Valentines Day and Lincoln's birthday. February has arrived and so has the February Resolution Experiment. January was certainly a difficult resolution- making no unnecessary purchases. This included no dinners out that would cost more than cooking at home (i.e. Chic-fil-a was still allowed), no happy hour drinks unless it was a work function, no clothing purchases (I actually stuck to that one) . . . nothing. I did buy a few things for our home, and boy and I have slipped in a few cocktails here and there, but all in all, we did fairly well.

Archetype Me

I just love personality tests, even if they are highly hyperbolic at times. I stumbled across Archetypes which has ten personality types for men and women.

The Creative, Athlete, Rebel, Caregiver, Visionary, Queen/Executive, Spiritual, Fashionista, Advocate, and Intellectual.

Hope you have a relaxing and lovely weekend. Some link love . . .

*Can someone tell boy that I want this in rose gold for V day?

*Speaking of boy, I think Adrien Brody is his doppelganger.

Film: Paperman

This little film is buzzing everywhere and as it should. It's amazing and will certainly put a smile on your face. Created by John Krahrs, it's a special technique merging computer graphics and hand drawn animation.
