Patreon shipping day at Serendib House — Stephanie Bailey, Darius Vinesar, and Emmanuel Henderson are here to help me pack up and ship out the treat boxes. My PLAN had been to finish these last week, before the semester started, but I didn’t quite make it, so this week has been somewhat more harried than […]

Nice bit of press — WTTW did an article about me, my work, and Vegan Serendib. You can read it here! (I feel like I rambled quite a bit, and maybe overstated a few political things in retrospect, but oh well. It’s okay, I think.)

No recipe from me, because I basically just followed this one: https://cardamomandcoconut.com/ginger-peach-scones/ And when I say “I”, I mean Kavi, because I texted her the recipe and asked her to make them. I did collect the peaches from our tree and cut them up for her, though. These scones don’t keep more than a day

Green peaches make a nice Sri Lankan-style pickle. I pretty much just used my pineapple pickle recipe and subbed in green peaches instead, easing back a little on the spice level so the subtlety of the peaches could come through. https://serendibkitchen.com/…/spicy-pineapple-pickle…/
