(Tiny taquitos waiting to be fried, Sake bombs and Katayuki noodles at Nooshi)
Don't these summer weekends just fly by? Ours was filled with fun, food, and hanging out with friends. Mr. C had one of his guys scotch nights on Saturday. Really, it's just turned into an excuse for me to cook a bunch of appetizers and then go out with my girlfriends while the boys down scotch and talk about Rambo III (who are we kidding, they probably put on Katie Perry and have a dance party).
My friend Cindy came over to help me cook and we decided to get really ambitious with the food this time. We made mini chicken taquitos, turkey scallion meatballs (make these immediately, Smitten Kitchen never fails), green bean tempura, and a host of other things. It was a ton of fun but we learned that planning a party menu where everything has to be fried at the last minute was not the smartest decision. Standing over a fryer in the middle of a heat wave was just idiotic. Lesson, learned.

In case you're missing the weekend too . . . here's a recap of last week's posts:
- Back to School: Realizing that going to grad school is going to impact this closet project
- Drink this, Read This: My favorite cocktail + some of the creepier ways stores are monitoring your behavior.
Also, check back later in the week for reviews of some of my purchases from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!
