Weekend Round-up!
Happy June weekend, ladies!! I'm feeling the season all around, and love getting gifts of weekly seasonal fresh flowers (thanks love!!). Gladiolus like these would make for a lovely buffet table arrangement by adding height and color to the food layout, don't you think? I'm sure you are all in a recipe/tablescape buzz right about now, getting ready to ring in the summer holiday via dairy deliciousness! Thought I'd take a minute to link some of my favorite things around the web this week...
- The most adorable kids craft/play idea for Shavuot!
- I need to remember this more often...
- My latest article for the Algemeiner: Born this Way?
- New on the Market: modern House Numbers @ Heath.
- Simple + Charming + Convenient DIY for Father's Day gift.
- HOTmilk Maternity/Nursing Bras ridiculously reduced at Zulily!
Some holiday-relative posts you may have missed:
- Cultivate social conversation at the table via big buds/low florals.
- Idyllic Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Also, for those of you who asked for a white cream sauce recipe when I posted this pasta dish, the most important part of any cream sauce is a good Roux for the Béchamel (white cream sauce). I learned this technique within the first few months of marriage (while watching much-too-much Food Network!), and it has come in so incredibly handy so far, and I've used it countless times since then. Here's the best step-by-step directions! I personally use that starter recipe + a cup of grated parmesan cheese and some crushed garlic cloves. From there you can add to what you'd like it to be (mushroom cream sauce, white wine reduction, salmon, pink sauce, florentine etc.) Enjoy!!
