Sunday Supper

The best place for a Sunday Supper hands down is Molina in Mill Valley. I've been multiple times, alone in fact, after a trail run on Mt. Tam. It is a true neighborhood establishment as I've met a few "regulars" who also come in for the action at the bar. A seat at the bar is a front row ticket to watch their handsome(!) chefs use their hands in all the right ways to master small plates and supper dishes, whilst keeping the record player going with each night's tailored playlist. (A sample of their playlist is above). C&C recommendations? Any dish with melon - such as their moon & start melon with toy box tomatoes, olive and chili. Another favorite is their country pork chop with yellow peaches, padrón peppers and arugula. The menu is always evolving but do drop in!

Inverness

Sadly, my breakfast will not arrive at my doorstep this morning. Nor will I enjoy it in front of a morning fire after an outdoor shower. Inverness is always difficult to leave but it was R&R well spent.  

Need vs. Want

My Mother always told me that there was a difference between a "need" and a "want" however I think this Riviera Chaise just might constitute as both...

Joie de Vivre!

Above: One of my most favorite photographs of famed photographer François Halard's parents, French decorators Michelle and Yves Halard, at their home in Provence. I love how this photograph truly depicts such joy and ease - two people that clearly have lived their lives to the fullest (with each other!). Their inner souls are outpouring into their external selves, joyful, passionate and pure.
