My wedding is a year from now and we aren't doing a traditional cake-the plan since day 1 has been whoopie pies, alfajores, and ice cream! i can't wait :)

oh gosh. this could be a long list. first and foremost:

CHEESE! the really good stuff. i demolished a huge hunk of fromage d'affinois in no time flat the other day.

pasta, fresh bread & butter, anything caramel related, any iteration of creme brulee/panna cotta/etc. guacamole. and if there are killer french fries in front of me, i'm a goner.

thanks guys! guess I should have tried a google search too-apparently today is lazy friday :)

one of my FAVORITE sites for delicious, super-interesting and flavorful vegetarian fare is www.101cookbooks.com. heidi has a wonderful collection of recipes. 2 of my faves: caramelized tofu w/ brussel sprouts, and lentil almond stir fry. check it out! a really great resource.

would love for a post or 2 about wheat germ friendly recipes!

this is fab. i struggle all the time with my winter creamy food cravings while still wanting to fit into my clothes. can't wait to try!

I'd love to know where the cutting board in the 1st photo is from (Sara Kate's apartment, I believe!)! I'm shopping around and really like the look of that one-are you happy with it?

I try to like bourbon and whiskey, I really do. My boyfriend loves them, and I'd like to be able to enjoy a glass with him every once in a while. Alas, even the smell makes me gag.

This is so well-timed. My boyfriend and I are heading to Iceland in a couple of weeks for a 2 week trip where we will be camping most of the time. I'm impressed you packed a cooler and brought it with. Did you have a rental car while you were there? I guess I'm asking-was it a pain in the ass to lug it around?? :) Any must-bring recommendations and/or favorite campsites??

Glad you had a wonderful honeymoon!!!

Kathyh-

My 2 cents about interior design schools in DC...there are basically 3 options. The Corcoran, GW, and Marymount.

I am in the Master's Program at Marymount. I looked at all 3 schools and decided on Marymount because a) it's ACCREDITED by CIDA (which the Corcoran is not, which will make it all that much harder to be eligible to take the NCIDQ exam down the road), b) they offer night classes and flexible scheduling for the people who still have day jobs, aka ME (GW requires that you go to school full time), and c) more affordable than GW.

While Marymount is by no means perfect, overall it has been a very positive experience for me so far. Much of the faculty is excellent, and I see continuing efforts to improve the program. I don't know what your needs are, but check out all 3 schools! If you have more question feel free to post again on here and I can get back to you with my email address.
