Vegan Peach Berry Crumbles

August 19, 2010

I’m not allowed to be vegan because: I sometimes carry a pound of butter around in my purse. I stir fry my tofu in bacon fat. I seriously consider grating cheese on my pillow before I go to bed at night. (ok… not really. that’s just weird.) I think heavy cream should be awarded its [...]

Nectarine and Cream Cobbler

June 22, 2009

I still write letters. I still hand write letters in a festive card with a return address sticker. I might even decorate the envelope with a rubbe-stamped dolphin stampede. I still write letters and I still have pen pals. My favorite pen pal? My grandmother. I call her Mommom. She’s rad. I don’t know [...]

Peach Brulee

June 8, 2009

Sweet and Spicy Almonds

Here’s a fun thing to do! Take a few minutes to close your eyes and imagine yourself as an old person. I’m not talking about late sixties. That’s not old yet.
