Lazy Sunday

Though I spent much of my time yesterday dreaming of painting cuffs, I took the day off leather to work on something tastier – brownies.

This is one of the many recipes I’ve tried out in my attempt to replicate the brownies at Mulberry Coffeehouse.

Alas! They fail on the re-creation front, but are deadly [...]

Mail/Female

What did you have for lunch today? I had tamales! You can make them too if you go here. They’re not a super fast meal, but oh my are they worth it.

I also had to bump yesterday’s mail out to today, but everything is ready to go within the next couple hours. A [...]

Peroti

Here is a thing you must try. A peroti – courtesy of Vagabond Street Foods in Whitehorse, YT.

I ate so many of these during the four or five days I was there and I think of them every day. Finally tried my hand at making them last night and ooohhhhhhh. So good.

1) Make [...]

Spring Cleaning!

Sean decided to do the Wild Rose Herbal Detox and I, being the supportive girlfriend I am, agreed to join him, if only so we don’t have to make six different meals a day instead of three.

I’m not overly psyched about it because it rules out about 89% of my staples – bread, dairy, [...]

Pat on the Back…

I don’t do it often, but I will congratulate myself today – on cookies. Mine are awesome and I’ll tell you why:

It’s not a special recipe.

It’s nothing to do with super-specific, by-weight measurements.

There are no secret ingredients I’m “forgetting” to tell you.

There’s no right or wrong way to put the pieces [...]

Oh World!

I’m on pins and needles waiting to find out about a hundred things! I wish I could just curl up in a cave, like a bear outsmarting winter, until all the news arrives.

Instead, today I’m working on a little writing and a lot of fooding. It’s time for more groceries, more bread-baking, more cookie-making, [...]

Wright, Right, Write, Rite

Not very image-heavy today I’m afraid. I’ve been working away at writing, which = boring on the blog at least until publication.

A hundred new ideas have come into my head in the last couple days and I’m trying to find the time to turn them into pitches while simultaneously working on the writing I’ve [...]

Ho Hum Dum De Dum

Here is some of what I did today…

- Worked on a birthday/thank you cuff for Karin.

- Allowed Memphis to sleep on the couch. He was sick! He’s still fragile!

- Made falafals and a loaf of bread.

- Watched Sean silk screen some T-shirts. [...]

Bake it Easy

In addition to leather goods, everyone got bread this year! A straight week of baking (and 40 cups of flour – this is some serious stuff) yielded these dense, delicious bundles.

I can call this bread a work of art and not sound like a cocky douche because all I did was follow the recipe [...]
