search is on.

this weekend, i began the task of looking for a new car.

i've had my car for eight years, so i'm totally out of the loop...there are so many new models out there. if i could take my pick, i'd go for the range rover evoque or the all-new range rover. buuuut, i don't think those are an option as long as i'm putting two minis through school. if you don't mind sharing, tell me what you drive and why you like it.

had this dress for years...one of those dresses that looked cute in the store, not so much when you got home. wanting a white dress to wear with my red plaid, i started fussing with it. seems better shorter, held in place with a hidden belt.

beef short ribs in the slow cooker...

had to sub boneless ribs, but still came out nice and tender.

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 c brown sugar

1/4 c rice vinegar

3 cloves garlic, smashed

1 tbl fresh grated ginger

combine above ingredients in slowcooker.

8 beef shortribs

4 med carrots, halved

add ribs and carrots in single layer.

1 small cabbage, quartered

place cabbage on top.

five-six hours on high.

remove ribs and veggies.

thicken sauce with cornstarch, add 1 tbl sesame oil.

(linen dress, guess; plaid, go jane (buy); military, thrifted; shoes, aldo)

try this look:

*dress thumbnail is black, but it does come in white.
