Steaming in the city

It's muggy and steamy outside. I think I can feel the sun's rays penetrating the glass and surrounding my head in a vice. All I can stomach is a bowl of cool tomatoes in olive oil for lunch. This week of 90-degree temperatures isn't going to pass quickly, I can tell.

Food:

I'm jazzed about the fact that La Tartine Gourmande has opened an Etsy store to sell her fabulous prints! Can you imagine how good they'd look framed in your kitchen?

These Peach and Pecan Oat Crumble Bars over at The Kitchn look pretty tempting.

Next time you're in the mood for cream cheese, try out this recipe from Fig & Fauna for Fig Honey Cream Cheese It looks so luscious.

Interior design:

Prolific designer Jonathan Adler has turned his attention to the design of the kitchen sink. I'd be so excited to have any one of the gorgeous sink line he has just put out with Kohler. From cobalt blue to a delicious sunny yellow, these would look divine in my kitchen. (Via The Kitchn.)

The clouds were out in beautiful billowy form today.
