Blackberry Buttermilk Rye Scones
Scone dough is messy. It sticks to sun-warmed countertops and leaves buttery streaks in the bowl. It dusts me with a layer of flour and threatens to leak fruit as I work it. But scone dough is also restorative. It demands that you to knead it together. It requires that you worry about things like…

The NYC Highline
Not many words today. There is a hammock outside and it is calling my name, and this glorious August afternoon is too pretty to waste indoors. So I am leaving you with a few pictures instead. The Highline is the perfect place to spend a glorious August afternoon, or any afternoon, really. It straddles the…

Six Impossible Things
Whew! This July has been kind of crazy. I need some sleep! My photography course at FIT demanded that I wake up in the wee hours of the morning to catch a train to NYC and once my half-day class was over, I usually spent the rest of the day traipsing (or maybe trudging? definitely…

Sour Cherry Pie
Late night pie happens like this: come home from the cherry orchard as the sun begins its slow descent. Wonder, how will we eat six pounds of cherries? Think: pie!

A ♥ Letter to Summer: Sweet Cherry & Blueberry Galette
Dear Summer, I love you for a lot of things. I love you for the golden glow you give me. I love you for your long afternoons. I love you for juicy watermelons, eaten with sticky fingers besides a dwindling stack of napkins. I love you for your sounds: sometimes, a hazy stillness, sometimes, crickets…

Triple Berry Pavlova
Summer! Fresh berries, freedom, joy. For the next few months, the sun is on my side. I like that very much. I am eating all the berries I can get my hands on. Mostly just fresh, or on yogurt. But when I feel fancy, I love putting berries on a pavlova. There’s something so perfect…

Toasty S’mores Ice Cream Sundae
I’ve been on an ice cream kick lately. If you don’t believe me, come check our freezer. A myriad assortment of ice creams sits there, surrounded by things like caramel and fudge sauce, all of them just waiting for someone to stumble upon them. I can’t help it; you wouldn’t be able to, either, if…
