Cornwall Connecticut

I spent the weekend at the Klaw house in Cornwall, Connecticut (title is a giveaway)

We ate, we drank, we played, we swam

Pickled parsley cucumber salad, garlic bread, Pomodori Crudi (raw italian tomato sauce) a delightful summer dinner prepared by aunty m

Cousin Jane made this amazing flourless chocolate cake tasted like sweet dark chocolate ganache!

Shrooming, simmer down! this was a legit shrooming trip with a highly qualified guide Botanist, Dr. Peter Del Tredici

Trumpet De Mort - Trumpet of Death ironically edible

Ones to avoid a veil around the stem and spots on top

Russula - These will make you hurl

Uncle Petie!

Old Man in the woods - edible

Chanterelle 

My find the Trumpet De Mort!

How I spent my days

The girl loves posing with cows

Cocktail hour

Gin + Tonic+ Mint = Delicious! coming from someone that doesn't normally drink Gin

This was painted by the original artist of the hit kids show Madeline!

Freshly made basil pesto, g-bread, corn and pickled cucumber salad Om nom nom!!!

Blueberry Bliss

blissfully easy to make and then inhale!

One of the funnest games Tiddlywinks!!!!

Pretty much wet myself playing this!

We needed to pamper ourselves

Before

Chocolate, coffee, yoghurt, lemon mask

After

Susie and Peter's epic veggie patch

Stopped by Red Rooster for a Strawberry shake

Back in Philly no one was gonna cook after the 5 hr drive home 

Curry Time!!!!

A Vogue Idea

"The September Issue" 2009

In keeping up with NY for my stay in September I figured I must purchase this bad boy! full of all the delicious trends for fall fashion

When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would by Vogue instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more - Carrie Bradshaw

Hot Tip

Some things I've learnt on my travels


- we all have a favourite underwear brand/type whatever you want to call it and when travelling you realise you should have stocked up on them

- new sizing of clothing is a pain in the ass to re-learn

- unrealistic purchases occur more when travelling even though you sub consciously know that you have no room left in your suitcase

- anonymity is freeing

- you can get buy on less and have more fun

- it can take years to plan and it goes by in a blink

~JBomb

mantra

Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer
