tea sandwiches

During my school break i decided to finally try a recipe i've been dying to do. it also helped that we finally went grocery shopping for the first time in 2 months. (it was exciting!).
i got this recipe from padma's cook book. i believe her recipe uses goat cheese instead of cream cheese and also has honey, but i like it better without.
it's basically a piece of toasted bread. a layer of cream cheese with chopped dill, then a layer of thinly sliced cucumber (i didnt peel) and then an uber thin slice of cheese (your choice, i put this manchego i got at whole foods). topped with some finely chopped dill and pomegranate. after stacking everything you cut the brown edges off and cut into two triangles... so cute!
drink it with some apple+pomegranate+lemongrass tea while listening to asobi seksu and it is heaven. seriously.i wouldnt lie about that.

a fews weeks ago i was introduced to aura photographs. im intrigued... or maybe just attracted to anderson cooper.

if you have not watched the epicness that is doglover199709, im afraid you have not lived. enjoy. and watch out for 1:50, where she shows of her bare foot. EPIC!

while on the subject of videos. i think its safe to say Ryan Lochte (some dude who looks like this guy i met last tuesday called Bryan Hochte) is the best thing to happen to the internet. see for yourself.
