Wednesday’s Child: Fallout
I was reflecting on this yesterday, and I think it’s worth saying out loud (so to speak) because I wish someone had said it to me in my marriage.* If you’re in a relationship and you EVER find yourself thinking, “I’m not going to say/do anything to stick up for myself in this situation becauseContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Fallout”
ESC #23: Afternoon Tea Edition
Well, as usual, I didn’t take photos, and that seems particularly unforgivable when you’re stacking lovely little tea goodies on étagères…. But as there’s no going back, I’ll just give you notes on the menu. Personally my favorites were the mini lobster rolls and the scones, the latter of which got a little melty inContinue reading “ESC #23: Afternoon Tea Edition”
The United States of Tali and the Ballad of Rye
In the past I’ve waited until my dogs are gone to create tributes to them: I do angel-dog cartoons, and sometimes I name cocktails after them (if you want to try the Jasper, it’s 1.5 oz apple brandy, .5 oz Luxardo or other cherry liqueur, .5 oz Cynar or other Amaro, 1/8 t red chileContinue reading “The United States of Tali and the Ballad of Rye”
ESC #22

This one had a Silk Road theme, kinda. The standout was David Leibovitz’s Panisse recipe, but the cake from the now-defunct Local Milk blog was great, too!

ESC #13 & #14: St. Patrick’s Day and Distilling Day
Again, no pics of anything. I really am the worst blogger ever. The highlight of St Patrick’s Day was definitely the from-scratch corned beef that my friend Nicole made using the cure from this recipe and the rest of the recipe from this source. I can ask her for it and update. I made thisContinue reading “ESC #13 & #14: St. Patrick’s Day and Distilling Day”
