Jimmy John's

I'm sure this isn't big news for most of you, but Oregon got it's first Jimmy John's and it's located relatively close to where we live. We are in heaven!! Jeff and I love their sandwiches and we make it a point to go there whenever possible. The closest Jimmy John's to us was in Seattle. Well, now we don't have to drive too far.

Alice Lane Home Collection

I can't wait to check out Alice Lane Home Collection the next time we are in Utah visiting family and friends. I can tell from the pictures and the website it's going to be worth the trip. If you live in the Orem area, you'll have to head over to the store and let me know how it is. They also have a blog that shows some of their recent projects, I love seeing the before and after pictures. Here are some of the items that I liked from their store.

Castagna

For Mother's Day, even though I'm not a mother yet, Jeff took me to Castagna for dinner. We had a wonderful time and the food was absolutely delicious. The chef at Castagna has been named one of the Best New Chefs of 2010 by Food and Wine and he did not disappoint. Jeff is still talking about the dessert he had with beets and sable caramel. You'll have to check out the menu here.





We took advantage of the nice weather and took a walk around the neighborhood by Castagna. We both had a wonderful evening and we can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu.

24 Hours in New York


I love this print by Fernando Volken Togni. I hope he does one for Los Angeles and Portland. Check out some of his other prints here.
