Summer send-off

September 7, 2011

Yesterday was a cool day. I decided to wear jeans to work, because there was a chill coming in through the window. So I threw on jeans, a tee-shirt and my North Face windbreaker, in case it rained- the sky was low and cloudy. Not even five minutes into being outside and I was shivering. [...]

Blueberry chia seed sponge cake

July 20, 2011

Poppy seeds were never something that appealed to me as a child. Lemon poppy seed muffin? I’ll take cinnamon struesel, thanks. Poppy seed cookies? Give me a chocolate chip. Nothing about those little black dots screamed “tasty” to me, so they were never something I looked forward to. As I’ve gotten older, poppy seeds are [...]
