What to wear, what to wear?
November 30th, 2009
Tonight is the premiere of a little documentary I was filmed for last summer. Way cool! I mean – professional makeup, lighting, direction, the works. And now, a premiere at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge! If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, watch it here.
Someone, please tell me, what on earth am I supposed to wear?
Wait – before you answer let me tell you the craziest part. Tonight at the premiere, the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric is coming to cover the story and they’ve asked for an interview. With me. What the WHAT? So please keep your fingers crossed for me so I don’t flub my words or have a giant piece of spinach caught in my teeth or something.
And the question remains: What do I wear?
Dressing well is more than how you look, it affects how you feel. Since I try not to wear high heels for the sake of my feet and back, I’ve found it a little difficult to dress up. But surely I’m not condemned to a life in yoga pants?
Let’s talk a little more about dressing in a not-so-subtle segue to this recipe I’m dying to tell you about. Really, acorn squash is delicious by itself, but after months of squash recipes this one really shook things up for me. All because of the dressing! I’ll link you to the real recipe in a second but basically all you have to do is:
1. Cut squash
2. Roast
3. Top with dressing
Love that. In this dish the sweet, dense flavor of squash is perked up like springtime with a chile-lime vinaigrette. It’s not my recipe, but I have officially adopted it and I encourage you to do the same! And then…what other squashes can we roast and top with dressings? It makes my chef hat spin on end with possibilities like pumpkin with caesar or kabocha with sesame miso. Mmmmmm.
Now if only I could dress myself.
