Around D/FW - Scardello's

Scardello's has been a place on my list for a while now
I finally got to go for lunch  yesterday
I absolutely cheese
Besides cheese, they sell wine and other specialty items

They also sell sandwiches
Pictured here is the Sweet Italian
It's proscuitto, burrata cheese with fig confit

yum!
I've been dying to try Dude, Sweet Chocolate
Check out this name - Fungus Amongus
I'm told it is really good!
Of course, I will be trying it on my next visit

Sookie's Wish List


September's O Magazine has some awesome stuff

Remember, my goldfish, Sookie

I've had her for a little over 2 months now

She is doing very well & would like some new digs
Going round and round and round
Is a bit monotonous

She is loving this fishhotel by Umbra

It is only $26.50


Unlike this one that I wanted


With a starting price of $63.00 @ one of the super pet stores

Perfect Portion Scales

Check this out...
I just saw this in the September issue of O Magazine
You put your food on this scale

It has a built in database of nearly 2000 foods

It calculates the calories
and
nutritional values

I
know

Get out of town! Right?

Now if this could just be built
right into my countertop and dining table
I'd never overeat again!

It costs $59.99
&
comes in black, blue, red, white and silver

No, they aren't paying me for this free ad
I just think it's super cool

Just curious, does anyone have one?
If so, do you like it?

EAT PRAY LOVE - The Food

Here's the way this went down
My friend, Misty and I decided to have a dinner party
for EAT PRAY LOVE
a week ago

I sent an email out to our friends to see who was in

Then, made it all official with a Paperless Post invite

We asked everyone to bring an appetizer or dessert
representing Italy, India or Bali


Misty made homemade pasta to go with her chicken piccata
I'm so inspired to start making my own!


Here we have samosas, beef vindaloo & khaman dhokla

I wish wish wish I had taken a picture of each individual dish!

Everyone did such a fabulous job

We all got to sample these wonderful foods

hummus, naan, rustic bread with dipping oil, pizza
tikki masala,  aloo gobi,  curry chicken, gulab jamun
cannoli's,  mini chocolate chip sandwich cookies
