Blueberry Lemon Cream Pie

Today was the first full day Chris had off in months.  We slept in, ate pancakes at 10:30, then met the inspector at our almost new house (all's well on that front), and spent a bunch of time together as a family.  Chris got l[...]

Chocolate Velvet 3.14 (Pie)

If you're nerdy like me, there is only one way to celebrate March 14th, a.k.a. ∏ day. And that's with a delicious homemade pie, of course.  I almost baked a "healthier" fruit pie (the kind that I have been known to also le[...]

Strawberry Syrup

One of my favorite things about summer's abundance is making up for our fruit-starved winters with fruit overload.  Though Nantucket doesn't have the same local variety that comes with pick-your-own orchards over every hill as in the H[...]

Cocoa Brownies with Browned Butter and Walnuts

Barely Changed from Bon Appétit, February 2011 See more recipes here. I have to apologize now for this recipe.  It's chocolately.  It's gooey.  It has a shiny, crackly crust.  It has browned butter.  Basically, it is the most delicio[...]

Risotto Rice Pudding with Brown Sugar and Vanilla

Adapted from Joy the Baker See more recipes here Rice pudding is one of my favorite quick late-night desserts (as you can see by the yellowish lighting in all the pictures!).  It's sweet, but not too much, and the milk provides the he[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
