    It’s been about a lifetime since I wrote something up. While it’s been a busy couple of weeks, I honestly think part of the reason is that my computer is dying. Ugh. It’s hard to want to write things when sentences take twice as long to write… and not because I’m distracted. Either way, I’ll…

    A couple weeks ago … post fridge death 2012 … I was gifted some amazing goods by my friend Asti and her mom. And by goods, I mean wonderful dairy products courtesy of some cute Jersey cows in Vermont. For about 10 days, I was using whole milk … yes, whole … in my coffee…

    lavender scones redux

    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…
