Migi Turns Three!

Posted on June 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

We rescued Migi as a one-year anniversary present to ourselves. She is our jester, friend, and baby. When we decided to move the house around this week she was our cheerleader and tangled-wire expert. She loves it when we’re cleaning, or working, preferably where she can keep an eye on us. She is ever hopeful that whatever we’re doing will involve ham, but she also understands that not everything in life can include ham. {I’m lying. She really, violently doesn’t understand.}

The pictures above are her sleepy “the bed is all mine now” dance.  Happy birthday Migi. ♥

General Updates.

Posted on June 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

Things have been a little hectic, and I feel like even though not much has been really going on to speak of, I haven’t caught my breath to bake anything more than a batch of cookies. I feel like I’m treading water, and slowing down to make food usually brings me back to center.

One fantastic discovery I can’t take credit for: Le Fournil, which has smashing tarts, and a lovely sliced egg sandwich, which was unfortunately gone before I realized I should have taken a picture of it…curses! I can also vouch for the strawberry rhubarb crumble (try spelling rhubarb after thinking about it too long, it’s tricky!), blueberry and raspberry tarts, and their orange juice. I especially like that their lunch special includes a sandwich, tart and juice for less than a sandwich at some of the other places around the gallery. I do regret that I am limited by someone else’s cafe visitations…working on that, but Leah is the nicest lunch delivery person ever ♥

Things I need more of:

Sunbeams, Cute Dresses, Silver: But not at current market price. Yeesh! Books, Coffee, Random encounters with long lost friends. Scones, Music: Send me music! Clean Sheets: This is my own fault, really.

Zucchini: Take 2

Posted on June 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

Zucchini Bread. I love it too much.

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

This wasn’t such a bad recipe. The addition of almond meal made it a little fluffier and less greasy than the prior recipe, and I suspect it’ll come out on top once I make some <ahem> adjustments to the spices. A loaf pan is good, but I lprefer my 9″ springform. I use it for everything, even cornbread.

In the end, the recipe isn’t going up, because it kind of tasted like an Autumn candle, & I know I can do better.
