Fri­days are my fave day of the week – the week­end is immi­nent, the sun is shin­ing (at least in Philly today) and there are always pretty things to take a gal’s mind off the Mon­day that always approaches so quick. Here are a few things that have me enam­ored lately and I fig­ured that I’d go with a Fab Fri­day count­down with a lit­tle Philly luv thrown in. So, here we go…

Fab Friday-8.6 by Cookin­gIn­Stilet­tos on Polyvore.com

1. Brian Atwood Maniac Plat­form Pump in Teal:  I have been OBSESSED with the Maniac pump – and when I saw it in Teal I just have to have it. Don’t know how or when, but this is on my must get list for fall. Even look­ing at the pic­ture makes me happy. [What — you thought I was not going to lead off with shoes? C’mon now!]

 

2.  Cuisi­nart Elite 16 Cup Food Proces­sor:  The more I think about it, the more I have jus­ti­fied the need to get the new Cuisi­nart Food Proces­sor. After my Nigella screw up with the corn pud­ding and the new fea­tures on the new Cuisi­nart, I think it is a wise invest­ment. Now, if I can only stop think­ing that I need a man­do­line in addi­tion to the Food Proces­sor *LOL*

 

3. Global 7″ Hol­low Edge San­toku knife:  One of the best invest­ments I have ever made (besides, of course, my Le Creuset and my Louboutins) – my favorite knife of all knives, my Global 7″ San­toku knife. I’ve sliced and diced many a fin­ger with some of the oth­ers I have tried but this one has yet to ever let me down (or make me reach for a bandaid). 

 

4. Dianne Jacobs’ “Will Write for Food” (2nd Edi­tion):  I love love LOVE this book and it’s such a wealth of knowl­edge. While I had the first edi­tion and often refer to it, I wasted no time in bad­ger­ing my local Barnes & Noble (thanks Carol) to secur­ing me a copy of the 2nd edi­tion. When I got the call it was in, I made a bee­line imme­di­ately to pick it up and it’s gone with me every­where. While I’m super busy at the day to day, I always whip it out when I have a few min­utes to con­tinue my jour­ney on learn­ing how to be a bet­ter food writer. I can only hope that Dianne comes to Philly some day to speak. 

 

5. Tutti Frutti – Dessert Choux: I heard about Tutti Frutti through Philly word of mouth and on my agenda this week is check­ing out their killer dessert choux! I couldn’t find a pic that I could clip of it but they do have them at City­Pa­per. Let me tell you, I’ve heard noth­ing but amaz­ing things about it from a num­ber of peeps who have tried it. Plus – choux pas­try and froyo? Yes please!

 

What has you enam­ored on this Friday?
