august already.

a new restaurant opened in bed stuy, called do or dine.
yay for bed stuy.
the shishito peppers made me think of Los Angeles. Buddah's Belly (by work) & Barbrix (by home)
i could criticize the restaurant, but at least they're doing something, and it's one of the best places in bed stuy. 

we're starting to see some fruit in our garden.

being an adult means, you get to have what you want in your fridge. 

used bok choy in a little saute situation, for the first time. success!
(i think i was worried i wouldn't like it, so i made it 'well done.'
it's my new favorite veggie. & lol, i thought wouldn't like a veggie??)

 a little something something i bought from yelizabeta
i've been wearing it two days in a row, make that three today.

miso soup.
best miso soup i've ever had. (don't mind me, while i pat myself on the back)

we've been real social butterflies lately. going away parties, bday parties & more!
(that is, one going away party & one bday party)

my little cat boys are doing good. funny & cute, as usual.
boy one : coop

boy two : rozzy

i walked into a pet store last wk, & wanted to go home with a little chihuahua.
i hear pet stores aren't going to be able to sell pets anymore... i got a pretty bad feeling while being in there. about 15 little puppies in separate aquarium looking boxes. just not right.
some sleeping, some barking, some eating their blankets.
i asked to hold the chihuahua and he said 'only if you're going to buy him"
:/ he was $1690. i just don't understand.
& why not let people pet them?
 i got a phone picture of the little guy, hope someone took him home. he was teeny tiny.

ok, i'll leave ya with some more street pictures.

this guy was trying to bark at us. lol. you look like a teddy bear. you can't bark at us.

your heart is gold, let it show

hi guys
so, WE did it. we played our first show, in nyc. phew!!
plenty more to come, but just feels so good to have broken the ice, with such a laid back and relaxed first show. there were tie-dying classes during the day and then we played to close the evening off.

we were a wittle nervous, b/c we haven't played a show in over a year, and to top it off, there were just the two of us playing and singing, vs the six in our old band. (just listened to skipping stepping stones & hidden treasure.... still so good!)

anyway, we're really excited for this new season in our lives.

in other news. there's a squirel that comes up to our 3rd story fire escape and taunts our little boys.
[nate cole photo cred!]

fries. i don't eat often, but LOVE when i do eat 'em.
who doesn't love fries? these specifically are from strong place. great happy hour!

little flirt of a cat showed up on our stoop. just wanted a lil' love and wanted a photoshoot.

went out and about, found MUDspot, got some coffee & coffee beans. not too bad! the beans didn't have a roast date....which always makes me think they're going to make awful coffee. but nope. berry good coffee!
then nate bought me some flowers. i think b/c he thought they would go great with the shirt i was wearing :)

ok. i'm about to make some dinner.
i'm thinking a miso veggie soup + a huge salad....maybe a pizza...or sandwich.......

i've been trying to do some street photos... not fashion street photos, but just everyday life type photos.
here are the first few. they're only gonna get better, the more confidence i get.

july twenty fourth

hi guys. it's one am, & i'm really trying to hold on to my sunday.
today was a fun lil day & i said i want to do what we did today every weekend.

we found a new taco place, near where we live, that was just delicious. different from other 'mexican food' places we've ever been to... the kind of taco place that doesn't have guacamole[which was disappointing at first, but then i forgot quickly, that i was missing it], but has lots of veg/vegan options. [forgot the name of the place & nate is already asleep & i don't want to wake him]
we each got two tacos (freshly handmade tortillas) & shared some beans & rice.
the beans & rice alone were full of flavor, yumz!

we then went to the beach.

the beaches here are different from california beaches.
haven't figured out what exactly makes them feel 'so' different...

it was sunny for a while, and then a dark cloud - very end of the world looking cloud- started moving towards us.
we packed up our things, and started walking just as it starting pouring.
since we were wet from swimming, we didn't mind the rain at all. 

then we went home.
made vegan bbq "chicken" & broccoli pizza.
then played music together. [getting ready for our show next weekend]
trader joe's sells whole wheat pizza dough for 99cents! & it's so delicious! the 'cheese' i used is called daiya cheese, it's the only non real cheese i like...melted

i love salad on my pizza too -- i get this broccoli slaw from trader joes, so it takes like five seconds to make a salad.
ok. i better get to sleep, i have to leave the house a little earlier than normal to get myself a coffee [b/c i'll be needing it now, ha] we're out of beanz at home.
i'll leave you with this peaceful picture nate took while me & ma boyz waz nappin'.
bye!

my hassey

i wont stop talking about my old hasselblad, because...it's the best.

it's a poor man's canon 5d mark II
nate, at washington square.

it's sunday afternoon, and i'm hungry.
nate made some bbq tofu sandwiches for us the other day. best homemade sandwich i've ever had. since we're not in the mood to make any food for ourselves, we'll go out now.

what's new?

it's been hot in nyc. but can't say i hate it!
:)
we spent our weekend walking around, hunting down organic kale, coffee, ice cold coconut water, kombucha, summer clothes, playing music & had a brown rice burrito from chipotle!that's right, just when you think chipotle can't get any better, they start carrying brown rice.

i finally fixed my roots..... why was i letting them grow so long? idk.
i think i was going to try and do something like marykate ...or is this ashley?
enjoy your summer, bye guys.
