Lucky!

So a friend of mine just contacted me and asked if I would like to volunteer to help with an upcoming event. It's an event I have been looking forward to for MONTHS and now I get to go and help out, and totally avoid the ticket fee. I know, I'm a horrible helper. Anyways, if you are anywhere near the Sacramento area, and like MCM (mid-century modern) architecture, I suggest you come check this out.

Roush Residence Tour. I think this home is one of the most interesting in the area, and I am really excited to get to go and check it out and help with the event. Have I talked yet about how much I love architecture? I believe I have. The architect of this home was a colleague of John Lautner who is one of my all time favorite architects. Am I gushing? 'Cause I feel like I may be gushing.

Anyways, the point of this post was just to put out in to the universe how truly blessed I feel to have friends in the area who do such great work. I am really lucky to know people who work on preservation, and care about the city we live in. Whenever I get in a boohooey mood I need to remember that I get to be a part of lovely things like this, and these are the things that make life worthwhile.

I am going to keep this post nice and short. Because I want to, that's why.

Happy picture of the day: I FINALLY made the perfect burger. I made this truffle oil infused cheeseburger with caramelized onions and saffron mayo Friday night for my friend Marcella and I. It is seriously the best burger I've ever had. Hope I can replicate it next time.

  1. OH my gosh - that looks delicious. AND I'm having a Lean Cuisine for lunch - boo! I'll mention that tour to JK - he wants to major in Architecture - so he may be interested. And you know he doesn't have much interest in anything but girls, food, and video games! :-)

  2. I just ate yogurt and flax seed, and I have a Lean Cuisine pizza and red potatoes for lunch. I'm having mushroom chicken and broccoli for dinner. I'm making up this week, for the burger last week. :)

    It should be a pretty great event. I am really excited about it.

  3. I have been craving a burger all day. Now, I come to your blog and see a picture of what sounds like a tastegasm. I'm getting a burger now.

    (Have fun with the volunteering!)

  4. I am of the belief that a well done burger is one of the best foods out there. Unfortunately, very few places do a great burger, so I've taken to making them at home. This one was amazing. Happy eating!

    Oh, I will have fun. I helped them a few years back with a mid-century modern home tour and it was awesome.

  6. It was delicious.

    Thanks dear. I am so looking forward to it. I may hide in the house when they leave so I can pretend I live there. Living in a cabinet is totally the new thing to do in 2012.

  7. That burger looks delicious! I'm working on making a perfect meatloaf. I'm adding a layer of bacon next time!

  8. Ooh, let me know how that goes. I don't eat meatloaf more than once a year or so. But on a cold winter evening I do love a good meatloaf and mashed potatoes!
