noodles, pies, and plaid

Let's all have a moment of silence in honor of Ando Momofuku, who created the Cup Noodle. Thank you, Mr. Ando! You have saved me from many a hungry night.

On an unrelated note, I also thought this was cute:

My pie!
(Little 5" pies. How cute is that? They have apple, strawberry-rhubarb, sweet potato, banana cream, chocolate cream, and lemon meringue. Mmmmm, pie...)

And finally - didn't I say plaid/tartan would be in, like last year? O Vivienne Westwood...how I wish you weren't so unaffordable...
