Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme

It's a lovely Sunday afternoon and I'm lounging on the couch, procrastinating.  It's really easy to stare at my walls and zone out.  I start to open my work bag and then my mind wanders and I think "that picture would look lovely over there........."   There went a half-an-hour!

It's been a great weekend though.  I was fortunate enough to attend "the Foodie Experience" at the Hippodrome with Lindsey last night.  There, we saw Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert discuss food and travel.  They are two very cool, very well-versed guys who made us laugh out loud with some of their more ribald tales!  After, we got to actually experience food from many of the different restaurants in the area.  Gotta say, there is nothing better than taste-testing some of the top food coming out of this area.  Be it the Sea bass with ginger from Portalli's or the AWESOME Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding from Ale Mary's....delicious!

Today, I putted around in my garden.  The seller of my condo left a lovely work space for herbs and flowers and I took advantage of the containers he left to plant a few things.  Now, I cannot claim to be a gardener or have a clue to what I am doing, but, hopefully in a couple of weeks time I'll have some lovely things to cut and cook with.  I planted rosemary, oregano, parsley, dill, basil, cilantro, and lavender.   I hope that they all sprout up and the lovely scents will waft through my open windows!  I'll keep you posted.

Oh, and I'll post pictures soon of my new home.  I promise!
