If there’s such thing as stereotypical spring weather, we’ve been experiencing it here this entire week in L.A. The mornings start out cool and crisp and the afternoons hover at a perfect temperature that just hints at becoming too warm. Last night I met a friend for Cuban food and though we were tempted to take in the last bits of sun, we stayed inside. I’ll probably smell of chicken and rice for the next week or so, but it was entirely worth it.

Strawberry shortcake is one of those desserts that is just as fantastic now as it was when I was a child.* What’s even more exciting is how easy it is to whip together on a random weeknight when strawberries are finally in season (I made an exception a couple months ago here). I used this recipe, which was exceedingly simple and took full advantage of the fresh berries and flaky biscuits.
*The same cannot be said about Pop-Tarts, Bubble Gum ice cream and Candy Buttons.

With Memorial Day right around the corner, I’ve finally accepted that bathing suit season has officially arrived. I’ll be honest, it doesn’t matter how much self tanner I apply or how many crunches I do, trying on swimsuits is just about the most painful shopping experience you can have. The fluorescent lights, the small dressing quarters and the playhouse mirrors are nobody’s friend. This year, I’ve taken my search online and have narrowed it down to several different trends that I’ll gladly try on in the comfort of my own home.
