3 Chicks With Looks Who Cook and Read Books

a recent photo taken of the authors at a U2 concert last month.

IT'S OFFICIAL!! My friends and I have just published a cookbook. The idea was derived out of the monthly book club I started where a few of the besties get together at someone's house, discuss our book, and our hostess wows the rest of us with her amazing cuisine. The three of us that host these monthly soirees have experimented with dare I say hundreds of recipes. And so after many hours collaborating our favorites, we came up with about 40 and broke them down into actual meals, containing appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts. THEN, we separated them into categories, with our favorite book selections as the chapter headings and VOILA!! A book club cookbook. We chose to call it the very modest, "Three chicks with looks who cook and read books." Just in time for the holidays. Not to ruin everybody's surprises, but, well, Merry Christmas everyone. (hint, hint)

Whatta man whatta man whatta man whatta mighty good man

I wanna take a minute or two, and give much respect due

To the man that's made a difference in my world



Just thought I would give a little shout out to my man, the one and only love of my life who was featured this week in the San Clemente Sun paper. Yes, you see it would appear that there was a nice little write up for this love of mine who got a promotion and became San Clemente's very own "regional private banker." He attended a lovely little promotion dinner at Club 33 and was officially initiated into the private banking club. And even though I knew he got a promotion, he did not even tell me about being in the paper- I found out from a parent at my school. That's how modest my man is. HOT HOT HOT. He' so crazy, I think I wanna have his baby.

Where are Mommy's keys?

"Owning little requires a practical approach – systematically decluttering your life and eliminating the unnecessary. Wanting little on the other hand is focused on the way in which we think, a far more blurred aspect of simplicity." - taken from ZenHabits
