Such a lovely small and beautifully pared back restaurant! The distinctive attitude towards food and interiors is at the heart of La Tertulia and make each visit exciting, intimate and unforgettable. The kind of place you could linger over a glass of sangria or a pitcher of margaritas and dinner for hours and hours…
Anyone who has read this blog a few times knows I’ve had a very long love affair with Santa Fe and New Mexican cuisine. And I am already having a massive love affair with Tulsa based La Tertulia. I love any and all New Mexican cuisine! There is nothing like Northern New Mexican food for spicy, earthy comfort food. I simply can’t get enough of it!
As you may know Tulsa’s restaurants are open for indoor dining and outdoor dining and people are getting vaccinated - but if you’re sticking with takeout still like me- then add La Tertulia to your list! Going out to eat is what you do and well, this is rough. I get teary eyed reading about restaurants and thinking back to my fond memories of eating delicious dinners with friends but I am happy I can still support my local faves and take a break from cooking! I really am not sure when I will be ready for indoor dining again. (Just being honest here)

“The Easter eggs symbolizes our ability to break out of the hardened, protective shell we’ve surrounded ourselves with that limits our thoughts and beliefs. As we break open our hearts and minds we discover a transformation to new, life enhancing thoughts and beliefs.”

Happy Easter (to those who celebrate ) to you from us! It’s been quite a fun delicious weekend as you can see!
To think this time last year we were in a lockdown. And now it all seems to be coming to an end. For most of you it was a truly awful experience but for me it wasn't all bad. I really grew to appreciate the changes it brought to my life and if I am being completely honest here -I am simply not ready to entirely release my grasp on them. I finally had the time + desire to learn new hobbies, make new recipes, rediscover things I hadn’t even thought about in ages! I loved the quiet - I loved the silence ...

Often very lithe on their feet with quick, graceful movements, Pisces seems to swim easily both with and against the tide, adapting their position as they weave their way through life. Overall, however, they are not the most physically robust of signs, they lack raw energy and can be prone to water retention. Their emotional health can also fluctuate as they are so sensitive to the currents of feelings around them, that it can overwhelm them. Pisces really need to be around upbeat people who can inspire them and promote a more realistic and secure attitude.
The feet, the soles of the body, are ruled by Pisces and it’s here that problems might arise.

2 degrees today in Tulsa calls for some coffee with a punch today. ☕️ 🥊
We typically would grab a coffee with a shot of espresso at one of our fave cafes but thanks to Angry Brew Coffee we can brew highly caffeinated coffee here at home . ( so perfect for today when things must get done around here but all you want to do is stay warm and toasty in the covers)

Bonjour darlings! Happy French Friday.
If you have followed me for a while you know that I dedicated quite a bit of 2019 to learning French. My in-person lessons with a tutor were paused after 7 months due to a busy fall schedule and then when I was ready to start again the lockdown occured pausing everything. But I have been trying my best to keep practicing here at home through home study, french films, french music, an app on my phone- and I am STILL having so much fun learning but it definitely comes with frustrations too, especially without a teacher. I have a really tough time with the phonetics, especially since I know Spanish. Honestly knowing Spanish makes learning French so much harder. LOL.
