It's been raining for 3 solid days. (Not complaining as it's washing away all the pollen - hooray!) Thought we could all use a little distraction.

Chicken Legs

My foodie fanatic friend (try saying that 10 times fast) sent me this recipe awhile back and I finally got around to making it last night. This dish reminded me just how much I love spicy brown mustard. New weekday staple! 

Ingredients:

4 chicken legs (thighs included)

2 t fresh, minced herbs - sage, thyme, tarragon

salt & pepper

4 T dijon or spice brown mustard

1/3 c Panko

2 T melted butter

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees.

2. Rinse the chicken legs and pat them dry. Rub them all over with the minced fresh herbs. Season well with salt and pepper. Brush the mustard over the skin side of each leg to coat thinly. Lay the legs in a shallow baking dish, leaving space between them. Sprinkle evenly with the Panko or breadcrumbs and drizzle evenly with the melted butter.

3. Roast about an hour or until the meat is very tender and the coating is crisp.

I have bungalows on the brain. (Hopefully, I can tell you why in a few weeks!) Until then, check out these cool listings from around the country. My favorite is the one in Venice, California. 

Spring in Virginia

It's been over a decade since I've experienced spring in Virginia and somehow I've managed to keep my allergies at bay . . . for now. I can't help but document every bud and flower I see outside my house or on my short walk to work. Dogwoods! Cherry blossoms! Azaleas!

This song has been stuck in my head all weekend. Spring has sprung, y'all!

If this doesn't get your heart racing, I don't know what will. Great work, Dub!

On Forgiveness

(c) Pieter Hugo

This piece on reconciliation is unlike anything I've ever read or seen. I'm amazed and empowered by the work the Association Modeste et Innocent is doing. What is it about certain groups of people who are able to overcome devastation as great as genocide?

I'm always interested in knowing what other people are reading. Then I judge them for it. Just kidding...kind of! But really, this project is so cool. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn!

It had been awhile since I watched a La Blogotheque session. I forgot how amazing they all are.

Sisters, Laura Naples and Kristen Giorgi, are the artists and designers behind NG Collective Studio. They actually collaborate and create these gorgeous pieces while living in different cities. I'll take them all!
