A couple of nights I did a little midnight shopping on Peppermint Park. Midnight shopping is usually a poor idea, but not in this case, because...ooh:

Turkey Cake!
Specifically, turkey mixed with oatmeal, frosted with mashed potatoes, and garnished with a little sweet potato mash and mini marshmallows.
Mmmm.

Sun On The Roof / Obvious Preview
This afternoon, Francesca (pictured above with her brother Mookie), who blogs over at Obvious, swung by to style a little mini-shoot for the two of us for an upcoming post.
One Of A Kind Show
Last night, my mom and my Aunt Trudy (who's visiting from Canada) checked out the One Of A Kind craft show and said it's great, so I wanted to give you the heads-up in case you're in the NYC area.
The show runs this weekend and next (Thursday-Sunday; click here for more info) and features a wide variety of handcrafted gifts - everything from ceramics to clothing to furniture and accessories. (Mom says the jewelry is on the expensive side, but that there are tons of great, budget-friendly finds.) I'm going!
Tickets are $15; $12 for students and seniors.
John Sahag / Keratin Treatment
A couple of weeks ago I got a phone call from the Post, asking if they could interview me about Keratin. I was extremely concerned, because I had been under the impression that the treatment that I get is - at least as far as we know - safe, and the last thing I want is to be praising a treatment that has the potential to cause serious side effects both for consumers and for salon technicians...
A Better Way To Buy Brussels Sprouts
Yeah, it's sort of creepy-looking, but when you buy Brussels Sprouts on the stalk rather than in a prepackaged container they taste better, cost less (about half the price, at my supermarket), and stay fresh longer (just put the stalk in some water to extend the life of the sprouts).
Linds Does (Mostly) Good / 6126 Spring Preview
I stopped into the press preview for Lindsay Lohan's new 6126 spring handbag collection with mixed expectations. I like her leggings (+1). It was in the Ace Hotel, so picklebacks were in close proximity (+10). And I am rooting for the girl, despite everything that's going on with her at the moment...
Urgent – Foster Parents Needed
My friend Laura just wrote to tell me about several dogs that In Our Hands Rescue is currently working to save. They're running out of options, and I thought I'd post about them here in case any of you guys have the space to take one or more of them in.
The dogs in need of your help include:
- The schnoodle puppies pictured above
- Chloe (a 3-year-old pug/chihuahua mix)
I Have No Idea What You Might Use These For…
…but sometimes usefulness is besides the point. Like when you’re faced with crocheted bumble bees.
