In June 2010, I had a scone that changed my life. It was in Kinsale, Ireland. It had raspberries. And it changed how I felt about scones as a whole. I’m not sure what I felt before… but it wasn’t love for scones. To this day … I have searched for a scone that I…
Guys, I’m famous. Just kidding of course. But I did meet a really sweet girl this weekend …. who get this … read my blog and not because I sent it to her and was like “check out this recipe I made” or more likely than not “look I posted a picture of a seal”.…

In the last few months I’ve been through this exercise a few times, specifically this time. Then there was this other time that I was on a flight back from Phoenix and made this phenomenal…
Check out these babes. On Monday’s rainy morning, I adored them in their pre-bloom glory. I loved them then. And each day this week, they’ve gotten more and more yellow. Maybe that’s my imagination. I do have a pretty baller imagination. It’s why I start to laugh / cringe / gasp the instant someone starts to tell…

What I really wanted were peonies because they remind me of girls dinners during business school. Let me set the scene. My friend Meghan would invite me over to…
