Okay, I am never going to be able to produce desserts uniform enough for a French patisserie! Yet another reason why I won’t be applying to the GBBO or its offshoots. (I was listening to the Milk Street podcast yesterday while gardening, and they interviewed someone who’d worked at The French Laundry, I think it […]

Ruby chocolate with pear and a drizzle of white chocolate. Tasty. And you know how it’s satisfying to unwrap a piece of foil, especially if you spread it out really flat? It’s also sort of satisfying to wrap one, it turns out. Odd that it’s nice, but it is.

About two months ago, I was at Target, and they had all this serveware on clearance. Now that I have a food-related business, even though I really have enough serveware, it’s impressive how easily I can convince myself that South Asian-ish serveware is a legitimate business expense and I could really use a little more.

Please order by Monday lunchtime if you’d like them shipped in time for Mother’s Day! (Porch pick-up is also available for

I had an Amanda Daly onion bagel for breakfast, and I have 5 bagels left. (Well, I expect Kevin will eat one soon, but the kids probably won’t, more fools they, and if I were a good mom, I would have gotten chocolate chip bagels for them, oh well. So probably 4 bagels left.) I’m going to eat something

I tried substituting in 1 cup of coconut milk for 1 cup of the heavy cream in tonight’s ice cream experiment. Mostly because I only had 1 cup of heavy cream, and I had an opened can of coconut milk in the fridge with 1 cup left. Waste not, want not… As expected, the result

Lunch — grilled ramps, roasted asparagus, avocado, omelette. Mmm…and it’s even beautiful enough to eat outside today. After three grey and cold days, the sunshine is very welcome.

Okay, so here’s my newest thing, and don’t even start with the whole “Mary Anne, you already do too much,” because a) I know, and b) my goal is to do this as low-effort as possible and make other people do most of the work, especially Stephanie, and c) it really does feed very well into
