These are a few of my favorite things
...people, places and things (food, of course) that have been making me smile lately:
- Isharya jewelry 
- Sea lions. They are the most curious, lazy, vocal, smelly and loveable creatures on the entire planet. 
- Being able to completely forget about work, deadlines, returning phone calls, etc. while on vacation. The ability to fully immerse yourself in holiday/relaxation-mode is truly priceless. 
- Bea Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls 
- My gorgeous & adorable god-daughter, Miss Blair 
- Finalizing plans to spend Memorial Day with some of my best friends in Austin, Texas 
- Saucisson sec (dry French sausage) 
- Shrimp n' Grits on L'Ecole's current brunch menu 
- Gazala Place's boureka 
- Morandi's Frittelle di Ricotta (ricotta fritters) 
- Salted butter 
- The Corner Cafe's everything-flagel with a thick schmear of pimento cream cheese 
- Grandaisy Bakery's potato pizza 
- Watching the leaves change color against the backdrop of brownstones in Brooklyn and the West Village 
- Via Dei Mille's pappardelle alla bolognese 
- Closing my eyes and dreaming of a bigger space 
- Buttercup Bakeshop's PB&J cupcake 
- Chandeliers 
- Reruns of The Office 
- The candy bins, not the frozen yogurt, at Tasti D' Lite 
- Butterfield Market is selling select treats from Cheryl Kleinman and Payard 
- Thai iced tea-flavored bubble tea from Crazy Bananas 
…
Until we eat again,
