Why go bonkers with production of your Super Bowl ad when you could just do this…
… and people will still swoon?
Sigh… it’s lovely, google. Just lovely. Do the dudes like is as much as my ladies do? That’s the real question.
…Especially given the high-octane women-hating ads that were out in overabundance this year. But that’s just this lady’s opinion.

I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s again today. It’s even better than the first time I watched it. Just perfect.
Doc Golightly: I love you Lula Mae.
Holly Golightly: I know you do, and that’s just the trouble. It’s the mistake you always made, Doc, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things. Once it was a hawk with a broken wing… and another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg. Remember?… You musn’t give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get, until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky.

Inspired by the adorable Claire Robinson and her 5 Ingredient Fix, I decided to make mocha meringue bark. Two failed batches later, I ended up with this:
Molly's Meringue
(Minus the mocha, because I didn’t have any of that ingredient and turns out, Tassimo espresso is not the same as instant coffee.)
I’m a regular gourmand.
PS – Here’s a great write-up of this crazy li’l snopacalypse we had going on this weekend. And the best news, no work tomorrow! Huzzah!

I know you’re all just dying to find out what I made for my snopocalypse breakfast.
Well, wonder no more.
Last night, my Tivo recorded an episode of Barefoot Contessa called “Breakfast Pantry” that was perfectly timed for snow festivities. Ina suggested scrambled eggs with herbs, and while I didn’t have exactly what she suggested – Whole Foods was out of parsley, twitter told me – I improvised and used red onion, arugula, dill, and pecorino cheese instead.
Delish!
Plus – my breakfast cocktail (Juice of a Few Flowers) didn’t hurt either. Thanks for the ideas, Ina!

Yeah… what we have here is officially a SNOPOCALYPSE, SNOMAGEDDON, SNOMG, [insert your name here]. Sorry, New York Times, but I’m with Patrick at Washington D.C. Metblogs: It’s time to remove the “potentially” because this is one. epic. storm.
PANIC!
Just kidding. I’m loving it… and so are my neighbors:

Snowpocalypse 2 — 14th Street timelapse, originally uploaded by linesandwaves.
This video is the coolest thing I’ve seen all morning. Some people are so freakin’ creative. I found it through the flickr group, Snowpocalypse: February 2010, thanks to the head’s up from my boys at Borderstan. Thanks guys (and Lupe)!
For my readers who don’t live in DC, you should know that the snow is still coming down hard and fast… and sideways. It’s pretty surreal. And fun. Lots and lots of fun.
There’s a snow ball fight scheduled for 2 p.m. at Dupont Circle that I fully intend to at least try and attend.
SW and AU are making some chili, so if I can brave the mean streets for two whole blocks, I can enjoy that with their two adorable boston terriers (Hi Hannah and Darcie!).
Or, I can snuggle warm in my studio, and pretend to pack – which really means, blog, cook, daydream about my new home’s decoration, clean, and watch DVDs.

Wow… only 9 p.m. and it’s time for another update.
ATTENTION 16th Street BUSES: Do not attempt to travel northbound. You’ll just get stuck. I know this, because I’ve seen not one, not two, not three, but five of you get stuck within the span of an hour. It’s time to call it quits. It’s ok. You did your best. We applaud your efforts. Really.
Let’s watch the progression:
(Please disregard my random, weird, and halting audio. I was going to edit this and overlay some music and a generally better soundtrack, but I figured it was better to get it uploaded straight away. So seriously, no mocking.)
More video here, but I promise you, my rambling is way worse.
I unloaded my dishwasher, and when I got back, the buses were gone. Good work, team!
Where did the buses go?
But don’t get too excited, because not too much later, another bus got stuck:
And then the people were forced to get out and make the long trek home:
Sad.
DO NOT DRIVE IN THE SNOW. STAY HOME! AND EAT YOUR VEGETABLES!
XOXO,
mollytics

I can’t promise I’ll keep the updating going on forever, but I can at least try, right?
Here’s 16th Street, NW – the view of Meridian Hill Park:
Meridian Hill Park, 5 p.m., 2/5/10
And, after one relaxing bath full of lavender and white wine (oh yes I did)… this is the view now:
Meridian Hill Park, 7:15 p.m., 2/5/10
So… there’s that. More to come, if things get epic.

It's a sweet match-up of Colts vs. Saints at Hello Cupcake.
Via metrocurean:
You can’t influence the outcome of Sunday’s Super Bowl match-up (unless you’re some kind of shady, all-powerful game fixer), but you can determine the winner of what’s sure to be a messy fondant face-off at Hello Cupcake.
Let the frosting fly.
Through Sunday, support your team by purchasing Colts or Saints cupcakes at the Dupont Circle shop. One cupcake equals one point for your team. Get ‘em individually or by the dozen. Order by Saturday at noon if you plan on serving them at a Sunday party. The logos can go on any flavor you like. Three hours before kick-off on Sunday, Hello Cupcake staffers will announce a winner.
May the best cream win.
(GEAUX SAINTS!)

Time... you crafty li'l devil.
To know me is to know that I’m never on time. Never ever. But I do try oh! so hard…
Beautiful colors in this, no?
