Cake Love

I'm making a Cinnamon Red Velvet Cake for Peter tonight. Because I love him and we're cold and tired and cake is good.

Papa Noel

I would love to go to Petit Déjeuner avec Papa Noel a l'Alliance Française! All the giddy french children make me giddy thinking about it!

Absinthe Cake

I saw this cake from Seggiano at Whole Foods and was so tempted to buy it. It looked completely delicious and I can't imagine what it tastes like. Too bad it was $17, otherwise that cake would be in my tum right now.

The Weekend

This weekend was one of those weekends that makes you feel like anything is possible and like you never want to be anywhere else but right where you are. 

Discovering new things in your new city, Day-long walks, Seeing and listening to one of your heroes and living geniuses speak three feet in front of you, Sunday morning runs to Whole Foods for eggs and bread, Running into friends while picking up eggs and bread at Whole Foods, Feeling the fall in the air, Collective cooking with perfect boyfriend, Laughing, Laughing, Laughing, Watching good movies...

...these are the things I loved about this weekend and it makes me excited for the many more good weekends to come.

Holiday Food

My two favorite food groups are:
1. Breakfast food
2. Holiday food

The latter mainly includes little snacks and cookies and the like since I am a vegetarian. Some people are shocked when they realize I can't eat Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas ham, but I'd take gingerbread cookies and spiced cider things of that nature any day of the year. Holiday treats also make fantastic gifts, no?
