Fab Friday – Welcome August Edition

Fab Friday - Welcome August Edition

August is finally here but Philly is hitting its 6th – count 'em 6th heat wave from hell. Seriously, I'm praying for mother nature to hit us with a blizzard and soon. The poor SousPug gets outside and it's like a wall of humidity to greet both of us. Pugs and heat = non-mixy things. So, I'm consoling myself the only way I know how – virtual retail therapy from a nice air conditioned spot before I trek up to the cottage.  SousPug has made it known that he wants to go on the next roadtrip … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Gloomy Day Edition

Fab Friday - Gloomy Day Edition

I wrestled with the idea of posting a Fab Friday today after hearing the news today about what transpired in Aurora, CO last night. My heart goes out to the victims of this horrible tragedy and their loved ones. I just can't fathom how someone could do this to another human being and what would make them act in such a manner. One thing the tragedy did remind me of – how blessed I truly am. Every day on this earth is a gift and, if anything, I'm going to definitely try to live in the moment … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – The Heatwave Continues Edition

Fab Friday - The Heatwave Continues Edition

As some might have noticed yesterday, I decided to treat Cooking In Stilettos to a new "dress" and, while it might not fit just yet, I just need to tweak and tailor it a bit.  One of these days Cooking In Stilettos will have a haute couture theme of its very own, but while Momma is trying to pay the vet and car bills, the blog will have to be content with "off the rack". Speaking of bills, my car decided that it needed something of it's very own too – a shiny new fuel pump and, while … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Holy Heatwave Edition

Fab Friday - Holy Heatwave Edition

Like I said yesterday, it's unbearably hot here in Philly so here are a few finds that might take your mind off the wall of humidity just waiting for you outside. (I'm just a barrel of sunshine, aren't I?)   Fab Friday - Holy Heatwave Edition   1. I absolutely adore these Spectator Leather Peep Toe Pumps from Ralph Lauren. They remind me of a pair of stilettos that I absolutely HAD to have from Steve Madden back in the day (and remember taking a tumble down some stairs … [Read more...]

May 6, 2011 By 3 Comments

So, the word is official - the Sous Pug is sans stitches, feeding tube and now we have some more testing and consults with a pet nutrionist as he refuses the prescription dog food but he's on the mend. Such great news after this month long roller coaster ride. So, this morning I decided to feature a few things that just thinking about them makes me happy for this week's Fab Friday choices... Fab Friday - Cooking In Stilettos Edition - 5.6.11 by CookingInStilettos featuring steve madden … [Read more...]

Ahh - we're FINALLY back on schedule and the Fab Friday has returned...

The Cajun Rocket Pot – Simplifying Today’s Lobster and Crawfish Boils

March 13, 2011 By 1 Comment
pot-pic-3.jpg

While many of my friends know I'm a quasi-New England gal and have experienced my share of clam bakes & lobster boils, I also adore all things Cajun and Creole and have plans to go to NOLA this summer for the IFBC 2011.  One thing that is a must in New Orleans is a crawfish boil and this lovely contraption crossed my path.  While it's called the Cajun Rocket Pot, it would make lightening fast work out of the often lengthy lobster boil. I could definitely see some of my New England friends … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Cooking In Stilettos Edition

Fab Friday

Remind me to give that Punxsutawney Phil a big kiss one day - the groundhog has promised us an early spring and I, along with much of the Northeast, would be thrilled to kick Ol' Man Winter outta here and look forward to sun, flowers, cocktails on the Bourbon Blue deck and the promise of green grass instead of this "snert" aka dirty snow. Plus, with spring comes baseball season and, as a Phillies fan, that always makes me happy. So, again with the happy thoughts for this week's Fab Friday as we … [Read more...]

Fab Monday – Cooking In Stilettos Edition

FabMonday-2010

  What a week last week, and, by all appearances, this week is as jam-packed as not only are Tyler Florence and Bobby Flay in town, but one of my partners in crime, SL, is set to take Philly by storm on Friday while he visits from Orlando. Due to my rushing to the New York City Wine & Food Festival, I realized that I needed to move the usual "Fab Friday" to a "Fab Monday"... Here are a few little things that had me either clutching my pearls or trying to find a way to sell plasma … [Read more...]
