I Want an Apron

Apple Pancakes Apron

I want an apron. Specifically, this apron, because it’s bright, and it has scribbles all over it, most notably the one on the pockets reading “flour sugar milk”… it’s so cute, and I love the handwritten-quality of the writing.

It’s not that I’m messy when I bake, even though [...]

Summer Reading

Good to the Grain

Books on my current wishlist:

♦Note: I love the “Look Inside” feature on Amazon. With jewelry, often the authors/publishers prohibit this feature {fears of designs being stolen or used without being paid for} and with cookbooks, occasionally publishers do the same; but how else can I know whether the recipes are ones I [...]

Good Habits

"Where is my supersuit??"

A collection of links for you, for all the things I like to save up and read at once after a couple weeks:

habit: sometimes this even feels too personal to read.

unruly things: for when my random search mojo fails to find me cool new things.

abby try again: love the name. love [...]

Apricot Ginger Scones

Guess what I got?? I have coffee!

A little bird came through with my Tony’s coffee! I had my first presse of coffee on Sunday, and it was a very productive day. Cleaning, puttering, writing, photos, homework, jewelry, more puttering, and scones! These turned out really well, exactly as expected; it was agreed today that [...]

Top Chef is Upon Us

Tom Colicchio!

Alright! I confess I crush on Tom Colicchio. Who doesn’t?? Another season of Top Chef is upon is with Top Chef VII, and I’m a little bummed that the guy I had pegged as a pompous bag of air won both $20k and the final round. Not that I don’t love a good [...]

Zucchini Spice Loaf: Take 3

Now This is June!

Zucchini Loaves – Take III! Finally, right? This weekend was beautiful; it was warm, and sunny! Sun, which is well past due, and of course gone now that I post on Monday. Not really zucchini bread weather Sunday, but I wanted to bake something, and I’d been so fixated on zucchini [...]

Molly Moon = Love

Meyer Lemon Necklace

Anthro Pounce!

I just want to say that Molly Moon is awesome.

I’ve been looking forward to Spring all Fall and Winter, when I was told that this Spring there would be ginger ice cream, which makes my heart beat faster with blissful anticipation. I went in today with my fingers crossed, and I [...]

Zucchini: Take 2

Zucchini Bread Afternoon

Fancy-pants Zucchini Bread, photos from day one:

Honey!

No, no honey went into the recipe, but this honey was too good not to show off. ♥

Sifting!

When the sifter doesn't work, hit it.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet.

That slanted ceiling has dents in it from my hard head…

Aaaaalmost [...]

Just Do It: 10 Fruits & Vegetables to Buy Organic

Ichigo Daisuki!

I had a nutritional OMG moment today, which is both good and bad: Good= I keep track of this stuff, and I like adding more information to an already sizable database of bizarre nutritional information. BAD= there’s still crazy shit out there waiting to surprise me. I would direct your attention to the [...]

Cafe Presse & Capital Hill

Oishiiiii

Cafe Presse is great. Open at 7 a.m., serving food til 2 a.m., always delicious, sometimes not so fast with the service, but it’s a good thing. In my experience, the slow service is usually after the food has come, and while we are engrossed in conversation about how great that food was. I [...]
