I've had my eye on the Margherita Missoni bone china dishes ever since...well, ever since dishes became something that I found interesting. But since they're out of my price range, the Missoni for Target line may just do the trick.
More favorites:
Actually, this blanket is my #1 favorite item in the line, and I'm planning on making my way to a Target ASAP to pick it up. It goes with so many different decor styles and palettes, and looks super cozy.
I can't stop eating peaches these days (no, but seriously: I ate five yesterday, four of which were consumed in a single sitting). So after lunch with my friend Katie I figured I'd swing by the Union Square Greenmarket to pick up one or two more of my lust objects...and then I spotted these enormous, gorgeous things.
Which means:
Peach pie.

There's nothing quite like a rum cocktail to make it feel like summer. Alas, this particular summer isn't especially rum-soaked for me, but there's always...rum cake? That's good, too.
My favorite rum-inclusive beverage is one that I discovered in the Caribbean: to make a Cayman Islands Rum Punch, just mix together 1 oz premium dark rum, 3 oz orange juice, 1 oz pineapple juice, a squeeze of fresh lime, and a splash of grenadine for color (let the grenadine float on the top of the cocktail to create a lovely sunset effect). Garnish with a cherry and/or paper umbrella, and enjoy with your feet planted firmly in the sand (or at least while dreaming of tropical beaches).
Now, what rum to use? Zacapa premium rum is produced in the Quetzaltenango highlands, where the cool air and elevation slow the aging process. The process itself was developed by the Spaniards 500 years ago, and involves passing each drop of rum through barrels that originally housed American whiskey, Oloroso sherry, or Pedro Ximenez wine, thereby creating a uniquely complex flavor.
