ufo-grill1Unidentified Grilling Object! From a futuristic culinary galaxy far away this cute little pod found it’s way to our picnic.

Now we can BBQ on the go in style! 

grill11Ok, so maybe it didn’t just land on the grass and crash our picnic. We found this sweet little grill by Contento at Anthropologie. Designed far, far away in Germany. Love the wooden details and two-toned lime green color.

The mulberry. Long, black, & beautiful.

long-mulberry“Have you ever had a mulberry? It will blow your mind.”

This is what I heard from my friend as she picked mulberries while on the phone with me. No, I had never had a mulberry that I could remember. All I could think of was ‘all around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel’ and I’m not even sure if those were the animals in the song. That’s just what came to me. She brought me a small container of these berries. I had never seen anything like them. They were so long and lovely!

It seemed strange to eat such a long berry. It was like eating a juicy worm. Or what I imagine that to be like. Except sweeter and packed with a delicate berry flavor.

blue-sky-and-capreseJuicy tomato, fresh mozarella, basil picked from the garden, olive oil and salt & pepper on a fresh baguette screams summer time to me. It just goes so well with blue sky, sunshine, green grass, picnics and lazy happy days.
