Hey there!  Happy, happy Friday!  Can you believe we are already halfway through July?!  

I have been waiting all summer long for one particular Saturday and now only 24 hours lie between me and the long-awaited Taco Festival.  Dreams are going to come true tomorrow. 

I made a big batch of my favorite iced chai this past week and was reminded of how much I love it. 

With a small amount of begging and batting of my eyelashes I think I have convinced Mr. Pedantic to make me a set of these Wood Block Bud Vases.  Seriously, how gorgeous will these be as a centerpiece?!  

While I am often against these one-use kitchen gadgets, I have to admit that this cherry pitter is well worth the small amount of drawer space that it takes up.  

Um, I think I am going to have to hit up the olive bar and get to work on this linguine. 

What are you up to this weekend?  Tell me all the things! 

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
