Can you think of another color that's more fun than hot pink? Pair it with ink black, and it becomes utterly cool, and even a little sexy. I mean, how fabulous would a bride look in Jennifer Behr's sassy headband? This palette certainly lends itself to a more modern look, but here it takes on a vintage/retro vibe.

TitleThe New Year's List
Download this video at www.skitguys.com! Bob's got his list of resolutions that he's convinced will make his life better, but his friend Jim isn't buying it.
Title:Resolutions
2009... Let's make a list of the things you intend to do.
I will keep this list and by the end of 2009, I will post it here again and you may comment on it. What you fulfilled and what you postponed for 2009.
I look forward to your list and in the meantime I wish you a wonderful 2009.
I'm always looking for ways to spice up the dinner-in-a-pinch pasta dish. On Monday, we hadn't done the groceries and I wanted to see what I could concoct out of the pantry and fridge. I had some dried chorizo I had purchased at World Market a while back with the intention of making empanadas (before Sean decided he doesn't like empanadas), so I did a quick google search and came up with this recipe for creamy chorizo pasta.
First, I cut the chorizo into small pieces. They will feel almost too small (and I definitely wish I had purchased real chorizo links, instead of the little dried ones), but chorizo packs a lot of flavor, so you don't need a lot.
Then, I fried the chorizo with minced garlic cloves in olive oil, seasoned with a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Watch it! It will burn fast.
When the chorizo was browned, I added a half-cup of white wine (I use tiny little boxes of white wine for cooking).
I stirred the white wine/chorizo mixture, then added some prepared marinara sauce until it didn't look too thin. The recipe calls for crushed tomatoes, but if you don't have a can on hand, marinara works just fine. Don't sweat it; save the sweating for later.
I then added about a 1/2 cup of cream. I eyeballed the levels though, since Sean is pretty picky about cream. I ultimately added more marinara to keep it on the tomato side.
Then I trotted out to my container garden and snipped some of my basil, which I'm happy to report is bountiful.
When the sauce was coming to a boil, I added fusilli (or rotini) pasta and mixed it well.
I topped my pasta with some Mexican white cheese and basil.
This pasta filled me right up (I regret to say I didn't finish the bowl!), but was a cool mix of flavors. It was spicier than normal pasta with sausage, but the cream tempered that a bit. I thought the cheese was actually a little overkill, so I might skip that next time, or use parmesan. All in all, it was a delicious dish that seemed more complicated than it actually was, and isn't that always the goal anyway?
1.In a pan, cook chorizo until oil is extracted. Set aside fried chorizo.
2.Toast garlic in the chorizo oil until fragrant and golden brown. Set aside about 2 tbsp for topping.
3.Pour in NESTLE DLITE CREAM. Season with MAGGI MAGIC SARAP and simmer for 2 minutes. Return fried chorizo to pan and stir to combine.
4.Stir in cooked spaghetti until noodles are fully coated. Serve with chopped parsley and toasted garlic.

Dealing with large numbers of hungry people, all capable of defying the laws of nature by being perpetually hungry, is a Christmas challenge. Entertaining in the run-up to Christmas can be anything from a coping with large groups of unannounced visitors to the pre-planned dinner parties that seem to crop up with undiminished enthusiasm in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Although the very idea of canapés seem to resonate 1970s they are always fallen upon with gratitude and there are some simple guides to getting them right. Salty combinations of prosciutto ham, creamy goats' cheese and figgy wraps are quick and simple to assemble, as are Nigella's Sweet and sticky ribs and irresistible Crabcakes. Saving the day is Nigella's hangover cure, a Cuban chorizo and black bean soup

Today's wedding board was inspired entirely by Silvana di Franco's photo of the red folding bistro chairs. The simplicity, the muted colors. Like yesterday's inspiration board, something about it feels like this early part of Spring - soft gray with glimpses of color. Used judiciously, red is one of my favorite colors. It has so many moods, from playful to sexy. Here, I think it's both sophisticated and sweet. For this couple, I imagine a low-key luncheon with just a few perfect details - personalized menus, a single peony instead of a bouquet, a getaway bicycle - and just their closest friends and family.
Mood: perfectly simple, sweetly sophisticated Palette: French red, white linen, stone
Are any of you on the search for the perfect tile for that home you're building? Yeah, me either, but sometimes the perfect tile (or sink or couch or whatever) just appears before you and all you can do is pine for the day it will be yours.
That's how I'm feelin about the new collaboration between Dwell and Heath Ceramics. The tile line is comprised of three tile shapes: diamond, wide hex and half hex. The layouts can yield endless combinations of color and pattern. The collection goes on sale Aug. 1 here.
Check it out! The fabulous Jordan Ferney invited me to join the first monthly Craft Night at her studio in San Francisco, 7/8. I can't wait! See more details at Jordan's blog.
