Tuesday Things.
1. Have you tried the tiramisu latte from Starbucks yet? I’m sort of in love with it. Of course. Like can you even be surprised? My first one tasted very strongly of mascarpone. My second, not so much, but still very delicious.
2. This meringue dream cake. Holy cow. It is my life in cake form. So in love.
3. I hate myself for kind of wanting a backpack purse now. Didn’t I already go through this when I was 13? I think it was last year at this time that I was hating on them. Eating my words. Now I sort of like them. WAH. Hello 1997.
4. Just about had a heart attack last week when I realized that the year 2o00 was FIFTEEN years ago.
5. 15 signs you’re trying to get your act together… BUT. Yeah. Especially #6. And #7.
6. I updated my macbook last week and all of a sudden my text messages started coming to my computer. I’m probably way behind on this but I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. I really hated it at first but now… it’s sort of great. Except the ding it makes with every text?
7. TV TV! Finally I thought the Walking Dead was SO much better this week – but… something has to be off, right? I am really disappointed in GIRLS overall this year, I just find it sort of boring. How freaking funny was Shoshanna’s interviews though? OMG, what a mess. And Elijah. Just give me a show with him, always. 6o minutes of it. How badass was Rayna James in Nashville last week? Eek, love her. Umm I’m still really mourning the loss of Parenthood. Super excited for Friday and House of Cards though. Am I forgetting anything?!
8. Your thoughts on Oscar dresses? I freaking LOVED Rosamund Pike’s dress. Let’s not talk about the fact that we had babies days apart… I also loved Reese’s dress. And I loved Rita Ora’s performance dress. AND I really like Scarlett Johansson’s dress even though it seems like everyone else hated it?
9. This pizza: I’m doing it this week.
10. There’s a bunch of new baby posts on the blog, including some more favorites. Now I’m going to go snack on Max’s chubby little cheeks.

Ahhh, I have a horrible feeling about the Walking Dead too, but then I think, “well they’re in need of a break, so maybe it will be good?” I need to catch up on Girls this season, even though you say its not so great, I haven’t watched one episode yet!
You’re funny! I don’t think I’d like having texts on my computer, but then again it’s probably time I update my software. Regarding Oscars dresses- I fell completely in love with Kiera Knightley’s whole look. That dress is one I would never pick out of a lineup but she killed it. And now I want the dress. Like bad. xo

omg. The Food Lab and How Sweet Eats have intersected. My two loves finally cross paths.
Kenji is the man.
1. I did the same update and am SO annoyed by the extra dinging. Also the phone ringing on my computer is wicked annoying. There is a really easy fix here: http://www.cultofmac.com/305581/keep-annoying-phone-calls-off-ipad-mac/
2. I, too, want a backpack purse. More specifically I want a black or brown leather one with serious metal detailing. Still hunting for the perfect one.
3. Your son is the CUTEST.
#6 on that list.. what is it about laundry that makes me think it’s okay to do it and then let a pile of clean clothes sit on top of my dresser or at the end of the bed?
Life’s mysteries.

Oh my gosh. The tiramisu latte is one of the best new drinks Starbucks has introduced, in my opinion. I lived in Germany for five weeks, and there it’s perfectly normal for coffee shops to put booze in your coffee. I’ve been mad at America and it’s coffee shops for not following Germany’s example.
But the tiramisu latte had that tiny hint of Irish cream. It was no baileys latte, but it was a step in the right direction. I’ve thought about the latte every day since drinking it!!

I’m so mourning Parenthood. I watched from the beginning. I am now watching The Slap on Thursdays. Totally different story but I am digging it so far. Complex characters, family dynamics….I’m into it.
Triple dittos here – Parenthood was the best show on TV. Cried every episode!!
I have a playlist on my phone of a bunch of songs that were on Parenthood including “You and Me” by Sara Watkins which was played during the Hank and Sarah wedding scene (love it so, so, so much!). It kind of helps with the sadness of the show being over. I guess I will need to make one for Parks and Rec too after tonight… NBC is killing all my favs!
Also, I loved Scarlett Johansson’s dress, but the necklace (I think it was a necklace) was kind of throwing me off. Annnndddd John Travolta rubbing her face. (So weird.)
I almost tried the latte last night, but Starbucks is so expensive that I’m always scared to try something new, out of fear that I won’t like it, Haha. Glad to know it is good.

1. i was just talking about making tiramisu the other day! i might have to try out that new starbucks drink!
2. LOVE backpack purses. i’ve already decided i’m going to have a chic backpack baby bag <3
3. how about lady gaga's performance at the oscar's!? WHOA!
4. MAX = TOTAL CUTENESS OVERLOAD
I love the text message alerts on my mac book. It means I can hide my phone so I don’t have all my technology in my face at once. If only my work computer was a Mac…
I’ve been thinking about that tiramisu latte like every hour, on the hour, since you mentioned it. I’m counting down the minutes until I get one on Saturday (because hello road trip to Philly and the turnpike is the closest place with a Starbucks in my sad existence). Also, #6 and #7 on that list are so me.
Loved ScarJo’s dress, especially the necklace that I believe was described as algae all over her neck. The fit was amazing without being too tight, the color fabulous and that necklace was a dream. Reese was blah, I’m a big Emma Stone fan but that look was not good, and I wish GaGa would stop trying so hard to be weird. BTW I had a coconut milk iced latte last week from Starbucks but it was oddly sweet and it gave me a headache. Have you tried their coconut milk yet??
Currently drinking a tiramisu latte (with coconut milk!) while I am reading this. ;)
I know- Rayna was awesome last week! Also, may I suggest you watch the entire first season of State of Affairs. I rarely get into action shows or whatever you want to call them, but this one is so good!
1. Backpack purses are great! I have a Kavu bag (grey) and love it. It’s not the classiest thing out there, but if you’re looking for functional- yes.
2. I love the “Messages” program on my Mac. So brilliant. Yes, right down to the “ding” with each message :).
So funny I was working out of a Starbucks yesterday and overheard someone say “This tastes just like tiramisu” and had no idea what they could mean haha. Heading over to the baby section now…
We never get the awesome Starbucks flavours over here in Australia! I feel like we are definitely missing out when I hear about things like tiramisu coffees!
I loved Rosamund Pike’s dress too! That gorgeous red lace – do you think that’s office appropriate because I want one! I loved Reese’s dress, Amy Adams as per usual looked gorgeous, and Scar-Jo, well I can’t express any love of the new hairstyle (undercuts should have stayed in the 90s) but that dress was amazing.
Did you see Jenna Dewan Tatum’s after party dress. Ugh. Lady crush.
I have not had a latte yet, that sounds yummy! Oh man, that cake, looks yummy also.
OMG I loooooved Rosamunde Pike’s dress! My absolute fave – I’m so glad to hear someone else loved it. My top 3 faves were 1st Rosamunde Pike, 2nd Reese Witherspoon (although I think her makeup was the wrong palette for the dress); 3) Emma Stone. Honorable Mention going to Laura Dern and Viola Davis. Unfortunately I really didn’t like Scarlett’s, I thought the color was very late 80’s and it reminded me of Molly Ringwald’s diy prom dress from Pretty in Pink. My best friend from college love ScarJo’s dress though, so what do I know?!? Yay to the Rosamunde dress love – I’m glad I’m not alone !
I have been eyeballing that tiramisu latte but it just looks so sweet! Glad you’ve vetted it for me ;) Love the post and your blog! Looking forward to following :)
Definitely want to try the tiramisu latte :)
I really want to try that latte! And yes that pizza. So quick – I am dying over the crispy edges.
I freakin’ LOVED Scarlett Johansen’s dress. She looked incredible.
I want a backpack too! I just scheduled a post for Monday on some that I like!
Dying for HoC and Girls is boring me too (minus anything with Elijah & Hannah BFFness)
Oh my Oscar talk! I did NOT love Rosamund Pike’s shaved hair, but for some reason DID like Scarlett Jo’s? I also liked Scar Jo’s dress along with you! Let’s not talk about the fact that she and I had babies days apart because her little tiny waist is making me look…well… ;o)
I haven’t even seen the Tiramisu latte at our Starbucks (does the West Coast get them?) but I think I will go looking for one today!
Those baby posts! I adore them. And that latte looks ah-mazing! <3
I think the Walking Dead is going to leave us hanging for months!!!!!!!!!!
I am a little older than you but, have you watched the new show… togetherness? I love it.
yes!! i really like it too!
I super want a backpack purse again as well. When did this happen!?!

Tiramisu latte !? How have I not heard of this?!
Petite Pomme
Just so you know, EVERYONE in Helsinki — from the too-cool-for-you 20-something design hipsters to the still fashionable grandmas — uses a mini backpack. There’s actually a specific brand that I see A LOT. I’m still trying to figure out what it is so I can get one, too! So. You’re not entirely crazy to want one.
I tried the tiramisu latte and wasn’t a fan. I was so disappointed especially being a lover of Tiramisu. Maybe I should give it another try?
Oh, as far as Oscar dresses I thought Reese looked stunning!
What?! Rosemund had just had a baby. UGH!!! Why couldn’t I have been blessed with a better metabolism?!?! I love the Tiramisu latte! I need to quit them, but can’t. I’m anxious to try it iced.
Oh my. That pizza? Please make it. It is amazing. I’ve made it several times since it appeared on SE and it is fabulous!
And your baby!?! He is so precious!! Congratulations!
