I finished the wreath last night once I'd replenished my hot glue stick supply. All I had to do was add some extra ruffles and fill in some of the holes. I have to say, it does look pretty fabulous.
We're going to do the rest of our decorating tomorrow night, and I'm very excited. I've been feeling so left out in the neighborhood!
Unfortunately, we aren't getting a real tree this year like we did last year. We are going to be out of town almost every weekend of the holidays, plus our neighborhood doesn't provide any recycling services and the city won't pick it up. I'm sad to say we might not have a real tree until we live in a real house...that's motivation to save right there!

So I'm sitting with my boss and our former intern, Alex, at a sushi restaurant when I found myself transfixed by the pile of crispy, wispy sweet potato straws resting atop their Amazing Roll. I had a vision: What if I put that on top of a burger?
From that moment on, I had a mission and it was to do just that. But what I didn't have was a know-how. Google searches for "sweet potato straws" or "fried sweet potato strands" didn't turn up munch and after trying about every grater or cutting tool in my kitchen, I still had no idea how to achieve that goal. (I just did a more specific search on Google and found that apparently I need a very fancy Mandolin slicer or a very cheap Julienne shredder.)
Finally, Sean said, "This is ridiculous, just make long strips with a vegetable peeler" and then he did just that.
My dream was dead, but it's okay, because at the end of the day, they'll still taste amazing. So I dipped the sweet potatoes in a quick 10-minute ice bath, then dried them with a paper towel before tossing them in vegetable oil, boiling at 350 degrees.
But that's a very edited version of what actually happened. What really happened was that I set the oil to boil while I was struggling with my various graters, absentmindedly forgot and was confused when I heard a persistent beeping coming from the hallway. Oh right! Something was burning.
We were trying to desperately air out the kitchen/dining area/living area when I realized, oh right, I'm burning a hamburger bun in the toaster. Multitasking fail, for reals!
But no sense crying over burning kitchens. I let the sweet potato strips boil for just a minute, until they looked like their chip form.
I then sprinkled them with salt and pepper, and let them dry on a paper towel.
And finally, achieved my dream of crispy sweet potatoes on my burger! We had some barbecue sauces left over from our rehearsal dinner, so I squirted a bit of that over melted cheddar, topped with the sweet potatoes and chowed down. The combo of flavors was SO GOOD, and I honestly think this could be on the menu of all my favorite burger joints.
P.S. I think crispy sweet potatoes could be a great alternate topping for anything you would typically top with fried onions. You could also bake them to avoid the stigma of having deep-fried something.

{this isn't my tire} This past Saturday, the most unexpected thing happened to my tire. It blew. On my way home from Einstein bagels (delicious), by myself. I drove (slowly) the remaining .5 mile back to FMIL's house, where Mr. SE came to my rescue. He was out golfing with a friend, but finished up quick and did the most hunky hunky thing. He changed my tire! Maybe it's not that big of a deal to you, but I think it's super cool to see that my man can do such a thing.
So with the spare intact, off we drove to Costco. (thank you Dad for getting my tires here so I didn't have to pay full price). There went a large chunk of my beautiful Saturday.
*In response to some less-than-favorable comments, I'd like to add that I read the manual and do know how to change a tire. But for the life of me, couldn't get the lug nuts loose on my blown wheel. I didn't assume that I was a sexy damsel in distress, and it was 2pm when I waited for Mr. SE, in the cul de sac of his neighborhood*
I've been following the work of photographer Polly Alexandre for awhile now, and today I get to share her beautiful work with you, with Fiona and Niels lovely wedding. As soon as they were engaged, Fiona says that she and Niels knew they wanted a small wedding in their adopted hometown of London, and that's just what they had...
Fiona's 1930's-inspired gown was beaded by hand with Swarovski crystals taken from her mother's wedding dress and Miyuki satin beads. She completed her look with a pair of silver and drop crystal earrings given by her parents when she moved from Scotland to London years ago.
How amazing is this hat! Made by milliner William Chambers, who also made Fiona's gorgeous headpiece.
Guests were treated to a short tour of London before going on to the reception in a red Routemaster bus. Says the bride, "The night Niels and I first met, he insisted on waiting with me for my bus (No. 139) in Bond Street, London. I will never forget the sense of certitude when I got on that bus that I had met someone quite special. So, as a surprise for Niels, I arranged for the red bus to be mocked up as the No. 139 bus."
Fiona describes their ceremony site: "We came across the historical church of St. Bartholomew the Great (built in 1123 AD) long before we got engaged and were struck by its heritage and beauty. Unbeknown to us, the church has played many a starring role in films, including Four Weddings and a Funeral."
"Our reception venue was located on the banks of the River Thames with stunning views of St. Paul’s Cathedral. This restaurant and brasserie is attached to Shakespeare’s Globe and we instantly fell in love with it, not only for the location but also for their ethos of serving seasonal produce in a relaxed atmosphere." Fiona and Niels love to throw dinner parties at home, so this was the perfect wedding reception for them: 38 guests joined them for dinner around one large table, allowing everyone to feel included, and allowing the couple to interact with each of their guests.
The wedding cake was a small square fruitcake. Also, Fiona says, "My mum is famous for her shortbread, so we asked her to make small individual heart shaped pieces for the reception. I forgot to thank her on the day so can I take this opportunity to say thank you so much, Mum!"
"Our first dance was to Glen Campbell's Grow Old With Me, as we think the lyrics say it all."
Photographer Polly Alexandre had entered Fiona and Niels into a contest to win wedding videography, and they won! Renaissance Studios shot this 8mm film of Fiona and Niels' wedding:
Best wishes Fiona and Niels! Thank you for sharing a bit of your beautiful wedding with us, and thank you to Polly Alexandre for sharing these gorgeous photos - you can see even more from this wedding over on Polly's blog. Oh, and I just have to share this funny story from Fiona with you: "Niels and I decided to spend our wedding night at home as we live only five minutes from the reception venue and we weren’t leaving for our honeymoon until Monday morning. On arrival at the threshold Niels discovered he didn’t have any keys on him as they 'spoiled the look of his suit.' He had his iPhone with him but no keys!"
I normally don't do individual vendor reviews like this, but since I'm taking a bit of a breather from my regular posts, and since I absolutely love Hello Handmade, I figured why not share this with you. Hello Handmade is the result of collaboration between two incredibly talented people - calligrapher Betsy Dunlap and illustrator Shanna Murray. Together they create such wonderful, whimsical pieces, and they're just in time for the holidays!
Christmas prints inspired by old specimen charts - six types of pine and fur trees printed in white ink on kraft paper.
I love this shot with the black-and-white photo of Shanna's grandparents...
This is probably one of my favorite gift ideas - totally unexpected and special. It's a 2010 calendar, but it's also a tea towel, so even after the year is over, it can be used in the kitchen. Maybe a nice little accent to a kitchen-themed wedding gift? Betsy and Shanna will be adding some download-able items to their Etsy shop at the end of the month too - can't wait to see them!
