I couldn’t help but feel a little chased out as I sat in the backseat of my friend’s Jeep. R and H had kindly invited me over for dinner that night, and although everything was great, it all had seemed a little… rushed. After the table was cleared, our typically fluid conversation became stagnant and…
Sweet – {Milky Ways}
The trip into town was a long one by bike, but D and I found ways to justify it. Without helmets or supervision, he and I peddled out there many times each summer, often in search of something sweet. I can’t remember how long it took us to reach that liquor store, but it seemed…
Slick – {Browned Butter Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream}
In this onslaught of snow, the speed limit signs annotating the shoulders taunt me. Covered in thick, heavy snow, their displays of paired fives and zeros are obscured, much like the view five feet from my hood. I know how fast I could be driving down this winding road, but, considering the conditions, even the…
Think – {Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Italian Meringue Buttercream}
Enjoying the damp, dark quiet of an unremarkable night, I’m walking alone on the sidewalk. It seems to move beneath my feet like a giant treadmill and I find myself feeling, although mobile, quite stationary. Lighted by street lamps and porch lights, the path ahead is clearly defined, empty, and normal; but somehow it seems…

Girly – {Maraschino Cherry Lamingtons}
Of course I like flowers and the occasional piece of chocolate, but those are great all year, so I’m not going to credit Valentine’s Day with their presence, existence or current prevalence. Oh no. But the girly color scheme? Heck yeah – I’m all over that. Poorly represented in my wardrobe, the repressed and unloved…
Watch – {Chocolate Caramel Tart}
I have no clue what’s going on. Although I am leaning quite heavily on P’s shoulder, the two of us are clearly existing in our own separate realities. Stationary in front of the television, I find myself unable to focus on the screen for any measurable period of time. I can’t even remember when we…
Show – {Pumpkin Cupcakes}
I’m not particularly creative when it comes to Halloween costumes. To be completely honest, I am so bad at it that I don’t even deserve the privilege of using the word “particularly” in that last sentence. True fact. I hardly remember any of my past costumes, which is probably due to the fact that the…
Sip – {Pecan Praline Cake}
After carefully checking it for lingering traces of peanut butter, I plunge the blunt-end of a butter knife into my tall thermos. A simple twirl creates a brief and sophisticated tie-dye, eventually settling into a comfortable brown with a glossy finish. As I stare blankly into the stilled thermos, I am reminded of a time…
