i miss ella.

herbs.

meet ini, mini, miny, moe and joe.

they are newly transplanted to keep away the bunnies, gophers, snails and anyone else that was feeling the urge to snack.

did you know snails were devouring my basil? i never knew they could be so vicious. irv swears he heard one hiss at him while we were removing them from the garden...i don't know about that though. i've never heard of snails hissing before.

the extra space in the garden makes me happy. looks like i get to plant some more! :)

iCream.

the last time i was in chicago (way back in october) i noticed a new ice cream place being built. it didn't really seem all that special and at the time, i didn't really think too much of it. then last month j.cupcakes visited this place while he was in chicago and wrote about it on his blog, you can read about j.cupcakes experience here if you'd like. once i read his post i knew i had to go...

this one-of-a-kind ice cream place is called iCream.

what makes iCream so unique is the fact that they make whatever you order from scratch right in front of you. yes, thats right, they use liquid nitrogen and and blend the ingredients together to create your ice cream/yogurt/sorbet right on the spot! amazing, i know.


i made hazelnut ice cream with nutella and it was delicious. irene got mango sorbet that was just as wonderful.

(they even use biodegradable/compostable containers :)

there are so many choices and different combinations to try that i can't help but go back! :)

homie.

today nunz left for ethiopia. i love this girl. please keep her and her dad in your prayers.

breakfast 4.29.

hands down, my favorite breakfast place would have to be egg harbor. i always miss it when i'm not in the midwest. the strawberry orange juice is my favorite.

phx.

we're stuck in PHX. our flights delayed and i have no idea why. free wifi is helping a little bit, but i need to go home, cucas is calling me.

i got asked if i was over 18 this morning. lovely. do i really look 5-6 years younger than my actual age?

congrats!

the weekend was too short and i didn't get to see everyone that i was hoping to see. but it was good to be back at au for a little bit.
