I can’t drink, thanks to my new meds, which has robbed me of what I would consider a vital element to my relaxation equation. What can I say? I’m a Flannery. Booze is important. As a result, I’ve been looking for other ways to keep my hands busy. I’ve been doing more baking than you’ve seen here,…
Chocolate-Covered Mango-Passionfruit Cake
Like most people, I don’t really love going to the doctor. Unsurprisingly: paying my premiums is a source of severe irritation, particularly when the all-too-familiar solution to whatever is an unhelpful and ambiguous prescription of “rest.” As a result, I’m generally one to wait things out.

Rhubarb Rose Upside-Down Cake With Pistachio Crumb

Grow – {Toasted Rice and Almond Cake with Cherries}
I surround myself at all times with terracotta; a growing collection of pots collected from friends, family, and garage sales. I want, so desperately, to grow things. I obsess over my potted hydrangea, a year-old gift from S, and distantly coddle – as I hear they appreciate – the succulents growing in my window sills….
