Whoa on night last night

3am: husband falls out of bed, wakes me up, gets right back to sleep and does not remember this now 3:50am: O cries out in his sleep but does not wake up; I wake up, T wakes up, T heads downstairs to watch TV

4:30am: T has taken to watching TV in the basement; he must be watching Comedy Central because his guffawing carries up through the air vents and wakes me up AGAIN; extremely annoyed, I intercom him and tell him to shut the freak up.

I cannot go back to sleep. Around 5:30, I think I do, and O wakes up at 6:15, thus, so do I.

Who's kidding?! What a ridiculous night.

Will need more coffee than the one I've already had. Whoa!

Burrata with Balsamic-Glazed Plums and Nectarines, Pine Nuts and Mint

How gorgeous is this?! It wasn't quite as good as it looks, but it was definitely tasty and we did eat this all. It's just so pretty!

Couscous of the stars!

I don't actually know of any "star" who uses this couscous, but if there were such an item as A-1 couscous that stars used, I think this might be it. It's a whole wheat, hand-rolled couscous made by a Palestinian women's cooperative. Check out the variegated size, the look of each grain! I cannot wait to eat this. And go women, go Fair Trade. If you're interested in such cous (who can even get over my enthusiasm!? should I be embarrassed? whatever), I found this at Williams-Sonoma.
