I was informed recently that I am nesting. It wasn't said quite so sweetly, but I can understand why my dear friend would suggest it.

I have an intense desire to cook non-stop these days. The fact that my oven isn't working is hindering my ability to bake, but my waistline is probably thankful. And it isn't just dessert that I am looking for, although these could be amazing. I've been looking at summer salads and fruit infused drinks. It's all getting a little excessive.

Maybe I'm longing for the time to just get lost in a few good recipes like I have in summers past. Growing up in New England we would have rainy summer days that were perfect for cooking. However SoCal does not have those days, and even if it did I do not currently have the luxury of time to take advantage of them.

I do look forward to dinners in my new place with friends and themed movie nights once I finish unpacking. Hopefully I will be settled soon, and have that oven, since I am dying to make these cupcakes.

Pretty sure I haven't had a blog in about 5 years, and even that was because someone set it up for me. Stephcapades! will be a learning experience for me, but it can only get better with time, so bear with me.

As for content, I'm not entirely sure where this is going. I'm leaning towards general lifestyle content, fashion, food, books, movies, interior design, maybe a touch of relationships and sex thrown in when I'm bored. Stephacapades! is an ever evolving project, you never know what you will find.

As for what Stephcapades means, it is the name for some of my antics given by a dear friend/ former/sometimes roommate.

Since most of the last few days, and the ones coming up have been or will be consumed with my moving it makes sense that interior design has been on my mind lately. While in Crate & Barrel over the weekend I found the most amazing catch-all bowl. And while I didn't buy it (I could just see it ending up in pieces after a long night) I do have to share:

If you love it too, and have $70 to spend on the coolest bowl I have ever seen, check it out here

I'm still questing for a jewlery box or a small prettty box for storage, but it has to have a cover. Any suggestions?
