Thankful on Friday

It is very cold outside, my legs are sore and my brain is ready for weekend.  But before I get too far ahead of myself...  I have much to thankful for.

• I am grateful for sore legs and muscles that are getting stronger and ready to be used, to let me train for a race that is only 6.5 weeks away
• I am grateful that spring actually is only six weeks away - seriously, very thankful for that one.
• I am thankful for the chance to cook for the people I love and try new recipes and flavors with abandon
• Also thankful when we are able to save a little bit of leftovers for lunch!
• I am thankful for the quiet times in an otherwise very busy week.

I hope you have much to be thankful for at the end of this week, and even more than that have a moment to think about it and celebrate it.

Fashion Week - Day 1

I am very excited about this week's fashion week.  It's a funny thing to be looking at fall clothes when it is still so cold out that I get angry when I receive emails about raffia and cork espadrilles.  But in any case, fall runways are glamorous, saturated with warm colors, and so far, so good.

New York Fashion Week started yesterday with the following designers: Lyn Devon, Nicholas K, Steven Alan, Porter Grey, Christopher Raeburn for Victorinox, BCBG Max Azria, Richard Chai LOVE, Vena Cava, Duckie Browne, Jenni Kayne, Whit, Wes Gordon, Luca Luca, Mara Hoffman, Marlon Gobel, Tadashi Shoji, Hyden Yoo, Rachel Comey, the Vessel. by lois, Alisha Trimble, Wayne, Dominic Louis, Kate Ermilio, Christian Siriano, Irina Shabayeva and Tim Hamilton.
