Galileo Galileo let me go

Not really a Queen fan, but the title just seemed oh so appropriate.  It's one of my days off today, so I am being lazy and I have a rump roast in the slow-cooker for dinner tonight.  Also did some house keeping, and work on a painting for my friend Vivienne. I was also thinking about making up some sort of carrot cake muffin or loaf?  When I went to the vegetable store yesterday they had a huge bag of irregular shaped carrots for $1.  I love irregular shaped vegetables, they are usually on sale, taste just as good, and since you usually cut them up anyways, they do not make a difference in cooking.

Does anyone have a really tasty recipe for carrot cake loaf?  I was thinking that might be a tasty and sweet way to use up some of the carrots.

I received this dress at the end of the summer, and had not worn it yet.  It is by Hayden Harnett and called the Galileo Dress.  I had not worn it yet because it is a bit low cut and I felt exposed, but now that the weather is a bit cooler, I can use it as a layering piece.  The cut of the dress is fantastic, nips in at the waist just so, and the length is perfect.  The middle of the dress has trapunto detailing with a diamond and then a starburst formation.  I will definitely be reaching for this dress more in the next few months.

  1. You are looking fantastic in Hayden and Hartnett from head to toe. And the weather is looking pretty calm up in Canada. I don't cook often. But Carrot Cake is one of my weaknesses. It must have spices, raisins, walnuts and plenty of Cream Cheese Frosting and some Apricot Jam on top.

    I have been looking at boots on Anthro. Why do I have such a fear of full length boots? But I do love my booties and mid calf boots. I have one pair of fabulous Area Forte's. So comfortable. I want a couple pairs of Schuler and Son's this Season.
