....is Steak & Green Beans with Chimichurri


Near the end of Architecture School I spent a Semester abroad in Argentina. And it is one of my favorite places I have ever visited. I love the life style of siestas and late night roof top asadas, the Tango, the wine and the steak. On many occasions I enjoyed what I thought was the best steak of my life, and then we would go out to another place and was sure this was the best steak ever. They were tender, juicy and full of flavor. I can't say this recipe will replicate the lovely meals we had but the sauce does bring back very fond memories.

For lunch, a few times a week, we would walk down the street from our school and eat at The Green Door. (I actually don't know the real name of this restaurant but it had a lime green door and threshold.) I would order the 'Sandwich de Lomo' and for about $2 American enjoy a wonderful cut of steak between a fresh, oversized, French Baguette. The counter and tables all contained a small container of Chimichurri, to drizzle as much as you wanted onto your sandwich. The steak was great by itself but the olive oil, spices and slight tang from the citrus and vinegar only enhanced the flavor. Enjoy!

....is New Orleans TwentyThirteen, Day One

On the First of May, CPB & I took a plane bound for New Orleans, Louisiana! I'm a little slow to post them, but it was a wonderful trip and I wanted to share. Here's a snap shot of our first day, traveling.

....is a Few Favorites, March TwentyThirteen

I took a little trip to Kansas at the beginning of the month, my brother is a freshman and we picked his birthday weekend to go out and visit. The trip also included a Jayhawks Basketball game at the Phog (Rock Chalk!), snow, and a couple walks down Massachusetts Street. 

I could spend hours in here searching the shelves and petting the adorable cat in the arm chair.

 I love both the flowers and the Java Break Coffee shop they're from. There's something so pretty about flowers in the winter.

I don't own a pair of these yet, but they're on my list. I find them absolutely charming.

Here's the biggest souvenir I've ever brought back on a plane from anywhere. It was found in an unlikely clothing boutique. I had to take out all the drawers and put them in a box and wrap the shelf part in brown paper in order to stay under the weight limits. It took a lot of soapy water and paper towels to clean it up. I'll have another post on the mini base we built for it. :)


Right before my trip I dropped and cracked my phone, I like my lightweight case but it didn't do enough to protect it. I did a little research and this case has more protection without the bulk, it's reviews were equal to the otter box commuter.


It's not that I neeeeeed these, I have ramekins, they match my dishes, they're lovely. These are just so darling and Easterly.

The latest city mugs, I bought the California one as a gift for my brother, it's bright and happy and will help keep him warm thru the Kansas winter. I guess they can only be found in stores (or airports) because I couldn't find a link for them.

Time to go ganache a stout cake  and figure out exactly how I want to cook my brisket.
Happy St. Patricks Day!!!
