Coffee on my deck in the morning helps my attitude.

Since we are so asian up in here, we can’t be bothered with regular coleslaw.  So I made up a Thai slaw recipe.

By made up, I mean I used this:

Thai mayo equals game changer.  It makes you want to slap an asian, it is that good.  (Disclaimer:  DO NOT SLAP AN ASIAN EVER, OMGHOWDAREYOU.)  Here’s my famous (in our house) slaw recipe.  You should probably make it this weekend and amaze your friends.

ZDub’s In Your Face Thai Slaw

1 bag of shredded cabbage slaw mix

2 TB chopped cilantro

1/4 cup white people mayo

1/4 Thai mayo (holla)

2 TB rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar, go white folks)

1 TB toasted sesame seed oil

Juice from one lime

2 whole dried thai chili peppers, crushed (more if you like asian fire inside your mouth)

1 TB toasted sesame seeds

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1.  Dump cabbage into large bowl.

2.  In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over cabbage.  Mix.  Top with toasted sesame seeds.

3.  Eat the shit out of it.

Happy Summer.

Go Asians.

Recently Tea Collection graciously offered to send over items for the children.  Or for me.  After perusing their website, Zoe and I opted to not tell Troy and went to town deciding on our future fashion.

What?  Girls only, sorry Troy.

Zoe had a hard time choosing because there are so many super cute Girl’s Clothing options (she changed her mind 1430 times), but eventually selected Casa Nouveau, a lightweight cotton dress with a lovely floral pattern.

I love that she can wear this comfy dress with her birks while looking for baby pinecones or she can take it up a notch with a cardi and strappy sandals and head on over to church.  (Seriously, she’s done both in this dress).

Since it was a girls only Tea experience, I was able to try the L’eixample Tunic.  It runs a bit big, so I ordered a Small.  I don’t think I’ve been a small since I was Zoe’s age.  I adore the colors and I think it looks fab paired with jeans. Bonus: this super soft shirt, like Zoe’s dress, requires zero ironing. And a cheer erupted from the crowd! (The crowd being me and my iron loathing self.)

Many thanks for our lovely new favorites!

And thanks to Troy for not holding a grudge.

We had a long, rough diabetes in your face weekend.

And she goes with the flow.

The days are long, y’all.
