Adverve: Oreo Fêtes The Great Gatsby

adverve:


Today The Great Gatsby opened in the US. Why do I know that? Because of Oreo. Seriously. And we just love the subtlety with which they plug the film — based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic of our begrudging adolescence, and never quite perfected on-screen — without getting all extra-obvious. 

Oreo. Do you just sit around all day trying to think up more ways to be awesome? Because if so, it’s working, and we’re so happy you exist.

9PM: I’m making bacon, apple butter, onion grilled cheese

I should really be packing for my trip to Virginia tomorrow, but instead I’m sitting here blogging about this orgasmic sandwich I just made. Like, it was so good I couldn’t keep this secret to myself. 

To be honest, I’ve been meaning to make this all week, but as my schedule tends to get, I don’t typically have time to make dinner. I’m working on this. 

Anyways, here’s the details: Bacon, fresh sliced bread, french butter (because I’m fancy), onions, cheddar, and the SECRET INGREDIENT: My mom’s homemade apple butter. 

I’m going to let the photos do the rest of the talking, as making this is pretty self-explanatory.

Try to keep the drool at a minimum.

 

finally putting details together

I’ve just resigned my lease, the first time I’ve ever done that in my three years here in New York City. Apartment #3 is finally getting some TLC and turning into a home. I still have some work to do, but my desk/work area is off to a good start (despite the nonlevel eye chart ;)).

^Having this area neat and organized make me want to sit here and CREATE. Such a good feeling.

^That camera took some of my baby photos (right, mom?). It needs a few minor repairs, but I want to get it back in working order and take some photos of my own on it.

^My Warby Parker’s finally have a home! Having had worn glasses since I was 4, they’ve become more than just a “have to wear” they’re an essential accessory. I don’t feel like myself with out them; and I love that.

^ I used to work with my dear friend/fellow cheese lover, RJ. One day I wrote “Hello!” in the middle of a stack of post-it notes on his desk and a few months later, he finally found it and responded with a, “Hi there!” Working with him was always the best part of my day and I felt like this post-it summed up all the silliness we had together.

^This is Emma. We went to high school, college, and even had our first job together. She’s a dear, dear friend. One time in high school I did a photo shoot with her for my film photography class. The photo framed here is one of the outtakes, but I love that it’s not perfect or poised, but carefree and fun.
