Coney Island! from Jordan Reid on Vimeo.
Saturday was Coney Island Day: always an excellent day for us, and one that we will likely be repeating a couple more times before fall hits (most certainly for the Coney Island Rockabilly Festival over Labor Day weekend).
The fact that the food at The Water's Edge is, despite appearances, practically inedible, and yet we're still willing to make the trek back for a repeat visit speaks volumes about the place's absolutely incomparable location and fantastic service.
My dad just told me that Pro Italia is raffling off a Ducati Desmosedici D16RR (pictured above) valued at $72,500 (yeek!) to benefit the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts (a parent-initiated, non-profit, public elementary school located in Los Angeles), so I thought I'd share.
Congrats to...

Head over to the Community, where Phoebe Lapine (of must-read blog Big Girls, Small Kitchen) teaches you how to make this gorgeous, perfect-for-solo-dining dish.
Whole steamed artichokes are still one of my favorite meals when I am alone. I remember calling my mother up on the phone the first time I tried to make them myself. And, even a week ago, I'll admit that I picked up the phone again for her to remind me how best to prepare them without a steamer.
Not only is this recipe healthy and deelish, it's great for entertaining. You can feed an army (or a famished family of four!).
So it seems that New Jersey just got its very first U-Pick Lavender Farm - eek! (and yes, I'm 'eek'-ing about lavender).
I'm looking for a great (and relatively inexpensive) new eye cream to try. In the past, I've tried - and liked - Oil of Olay, Votre Vu and ROC, but I'd love to hear which ones you recommend!
