All of the cheeses we sampled at Casellula last night were excellent - seriously, you must go to this place if you live in the area (Midtown West) - but I need you to try the one pictured above, second from bottom.

Ricotta, Lemon & Honey Crostini
At Casellula last night, Dad and I tried - and loved - this appetizer, but we both thought that it actually worked better as an unusual, mild dessert. We set it aside, ate through our cheese and charcuterie, and finished off the meal with the sweet, honey-and-lemon soaked ricotta.
Whimsical / Lovely
This La Petit Voliere "shade pendant" (lampshade) is just too beautiful. Unfortunately, it's also just too expensive ($595 on Conranusa.com), but it's pretty simple to DIY...
DIY Pickles
Homemade pickles are obviously freaking delicious, and are (perhaps less obviously) super, super simple to make. There are tons of different ways to make 'em, but most involve canning equipment that I don't own, so I stick to making "Refrigerator Pickles", which require nothing more complicated that a pot, a knife, and some Mason jars.
Oooh / Lavender Vodka Tonic
Just combine all ingredients in an ice-filled glass (or mason jar) and stir!
