Oh me, oh my. I came back to the North End today from a few days in the burbs. Nothing seemed to be more appealing than opening all of my windows and looking at some pictures from this weekend. Just as I was about to reach for a coconut water, I spied half of a…
In planning my Julia Child Birthday Dinner, I felt like I really needed a dessert. I’m not even a “dessert person” but it felt like an occasion where you would say …. “oh we served three courses”. I’m actually not sure how you count courses …. so maybe the meal was two or maybe it…
It feels like I’ve been doing a lot of cooking in the last week. Even now, I’m trying to figure out if it makes sense to make “bagel bombs” this weekend. They sound delicious and pretty much have all my favorite ingredients – carbs, cheese, bacon, and salt. I feel like bagel bombs would make…
Yesterday was Julia Child’s Birthday. That sassy tall number of a woman would have been 100. But before I can tell you how I celebrated Julia’s day, I feel like I need to close the book on the best brunch that there ever was. Here’s what I served: Fruit Salad (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, watermelon) Lavender…
Hey remember that time I made lavender scones and I called them romantic? They are were delicious. I do believe they are still romantic. But, I made them significantly better this time and so it seemed appropriate to document the update. While I loved the first batch of scones, they weren’t super light. They were also…
I have these really organized married friends named Dave and Lara. Seriously, they are so cute and so organized and to boot… they are amazing cooks. One time this past spring they had a brunch and at this amazing brunch they served biscuits and lemon curd. I’m a sucker for a spread whether it is…
I’m getting really good at handling and loving summer in the city. Yes, it’s hot. The tourists seem to multiple like fruit flies. And I’ll never quite understand people who swim in fountains. But, I’ve managed to fix all of these things by learning ways to be outdoors, the right beverages for each occasion, and…
As I return to work today, I want it on the record that I spent 5 hours yesterday on my roof. I have no idea how I can mindlessly pass time up there, but I can. I have no concept of minutes or hours when I’m cozied up in my “beach” chair, wearing a bathing…
It’s been a long while since I documented anything on le blog. I’ve been busy being reckless and turning 29 and organizing my life. Boston’s been a wee bit warm so cooking hasn’t exactly been the highest priority … and there are only so many times I can show you a picture of Boston Harbor…
Oh guys. Some days are just dreamy. I mean dah-re-me. Sound it out. Despite being a work day… today was just one of those days. Normally on a summer weekend, I run for the suburbs slash beach slash central air conditioning … but this weekend …. I’m toughing it out. I’m staying strong in the…
