Wear-n-Worn


jasper helped with this little photo shoot!
and we used props!
notice the stool and quiver full of arrows!


this wear-n-worn features a little tank style dress printed with mushrooms that i found on the sale rack at anthropologie.  i think its meant to be lounge wear or pajamas.  oh well!

i threw a vintage black slip under it with the intention of having the slip ruffle peek out from under the dress.  and i paired it with my tall black boots that zip up the back and have a ruffle on each side of the zipper, also from anthropologie.
easy outfit and comfortable too.

off to target practice with my bow and arrows!,

The Pantry at Delancey Crab Dinner

Pork belly confit with smoked salt
Johnnycakes with maple braised greens
...
Tomato-fennel soup with blue cheese toast

Boiled whole crabs
Roasted potatoes with sea salt
Melted butter, salsa verde and spicy aioli for dipping

Butter lettuce salad with radishes and chives

Lemon mousse trifle
Almond cake, toasted meringue and brittle

have you been to a family dinner at The Pantry at Delancey in Seattle?  this is where i have taken all the cooking classes i've talked about over the last six months.  chad took the pie ninja class because i was working here at the shop but then i got to take a french dinner making class, a moroccan street food class, a southern pies making class, and a candy making class. 
fun stuff, let me tell ya!
that's chad and i at the new england crab feast dinner a few weeks ago.  we didn't know anyone there but it didn't matter.  we had a fun time meeting people and stuffing ourselves!  plus there is a wine pairing with every course and they do not skimp, let me tell ya that too! wowza!

if this looks like you kind of thing, check it out.  the classes sell out really fast and so do the dinners so i highly recommend getting on their mailing list and finding them on facebook.
i cant wait for them to list more family style dinners!

getting hungry,
xoxo
