Yay trunk show success!!! The prep; cleaning, merchandising, and the non-stop mincing and chopping to make the food and drinks was well worth it. Even when my index finger and thumb went numb for 4 hours from chopping...I would do it all over again.
Last night I had my second trunk show here in San Diego. It was an intimate affair, and I quite like it like that. Fantastic company, declious home-made guacamole and salsa, and the second reason people came...amazing SANGRIA! ;0) It was goooood..dangerous, but good! I will definitely be sharing this in my next Miele by Michelle Glossy. I also showed and sold some of my new Fall/Winter pieces, which I've been working on recently. All in all, a great event!!! Can't wait for the next Spring/Summer one.
Sangria had always seemed like a daunting feat, and I'd shy away from it because the work involved was more than I wanted to handle. I think that WAS my look on a lot of cooking. Funny, I'll spend hours making chandelier earrings, but not on a beautiful meal, which I could eat...hello, instant yummy gratifcation!! Making the sangria was a process, but like beading and wire wrapping, there's meditation in it, and of course creativity. So now I'd like to learn how to make something new every week. I'm not taking on the complete Julia Childs cook book like Julia did, but I've got to start with a reachable goal, right? This week German Apple Pancake!
Let me leave you with a creativity challenge. Some time this week, make dinner at home using what you have in your fridge. Don't go out and buy ingredients. For some of you it's the everyday, but for others, like me, I'd usually just give up and go to a restaurant. I'm just not very good at unintentional recipe making.....or cooking on the fly. So Chuck and I did this a few nights ago and came up with a beautiful pasta casserole using pasta, zucchini, red pepper, pasta sauce, mozzarella, oregano, and onion. Yum, so glad we stayed home.
