current obsessions.

chipwiches
this bastard brother of the ice cream sandwich has always been my aboslute favorite. i dare you to find an ice cream truck treat more satisfying. recently, i discovered coolhaus, a home-made chipwich truck that rolls around the city, serving homemade cookies and fantastic ice cream flavors to chipwich enthusiasts like me. i plan on stalking them as soon as i can peel myself off the couch.

it is also because of said discovery, that my best friend cathleen, a culinary genius, decided to make home-made chipwiches this past week. the result is pictured. TELL ME you're not jealous. i dare you.

winnie the pooh

what am i? five years old? whatever. it's not like i'm getting tigger tattoed on my lower back or anything. i just saw the movie yesterday with the little girls i babysit and absolutely fell in love again. it was so simple, so sweet, so clever, and it didn't smack of franchise like so many re-makes and sequels do these days. i also found this book at the used bookstore while i was home in new hampshire. only $5 for a copy from 1954. too good. i plan on saving it for my children one day.

the samuel french off-off broadway short play festival

my theatre company produced a play in this years fest called bubble & squeak, written by evan twohy. out of 1100 submissions, 40 plays were chosen for one-night-only performances this week. about 15 or so are then moved onto the finals and around 6 of those get published by samuel french. our show premiered last night and was selected by the judges to move on to the FINALS on sunday! we're all incredibly excited. and the show, in case you're wondering, was absolutely brilliant. i'll be real you guys: nothing is better than the sight of your best friend with cabbages in her pants.
