The Morning After the Night Before

strange fruit

evidence of half of everything i drank

always throw orange flower water, figs and marcona almonds at the problem

thyme honey

Saturday. We made tagine (I am on an all things Moroccan kick again) for 5 incredible people Thursday night. No photos from the actual evening (too wound up and fun having) but the light Friday morning, made the wreckage look nice.







wild beasts waiting for the kill

And my neighbor brought these gorgeous anemones to dinner. I think she laced them with kumquats and sage herself. She is amazing. They set the stage for a day of photo taking though. I am nothing if not a total practicioner of utilitarian impulse--after this I used the light and flowers and kumquats (and cats) to photograph my holiday collection, better late than never. It will be going up on the site next week but first I procrastinate with pretty flowers and wild beasts.
