Can we take a little break from the kitchen?
I’m full of food and there’s one monstrous pile of dishes that I’d prefer to ignore for as long as possible.
A few months back I showed you exactly what my 2010 has looked like. Let’s consider that Part One. Would you like to see the other half?
I dump all of the pictures of my camera phone and show you what my silly world looks like. Its fun, there’s food, I like to share… and we’re all friends here.
I had a birthday in May. The people that know me got me bourbon.
Bless their souls.
This is the beginning of the best party of the summer. Malibu beach house. Sunset. Many people spinning many records. Really not a bad life at all.
Whitney and Jenelle at the beach party. This is before the beach cartwheels and frigid, naked ocean swimming.
…. I told you it was a good party.
Giant movie screenings in a cemetery. That happens in LA. Everyone here is exactly too cool for school… especially the two sneaking a smooch in the front of this picture.
Romance.
I rode my bike all summer. It’s exactly the best thing in the world. No… I wasn’t wearing a helmet. Please don’t scold.
Countless backyard parties. Some people drink Pineapple Smirnoff Ice as a joke…. a gross grooooossss joke.
Ps. Cute bearded boys plus bonus dude belly peek.
I made Bourbon Banana Bread Pudding with Jill. We giggled a lot…. it’s just a thing we do.
I made a wedding cake! Remember?
It was stressful and delicious.
This particular wedding made me cry like a lady cries at a wedding. Love. Daaaang.
Frozen. Chocolate. Chip. Cookie. Dough. Balls. The best words ever.
One day… my computer died dead…
… then my table fell apart. I had the entire weight of the world on it.
I don’t want to talk about it.
My dear sister lives in Seattle. I went to there to see her…
… and bake in the company of her cat.
Charles is a fat cat with skinny legs. He’s a little self conscious.
Delancey is exactly as delicious as you want it to be.
I bought myself a fancy tomato and made myself a fancy sandwich. I dunno… this seemed like a big deal at the time.
I got on a train with a book and a homemade sandwich and went up to San Luis Obispo.
These red shoes are now spattered with melted chocolate, fry grease and matcha powder. This is why we can’t have nice things.
You remember Josh, right? We had all sorts of wine adventures which include eating grapes off the vine and getting heartburn.
But the views!! Totally worth the heartburn.
I put everything I own in boxes and moved to the beach. I feel like a fortunate person…. with too much stuff.
And this bike… the bike that was my heart and soul…. it got stolen. I cried: sobbing, ugly cry.
Until I got this dreamboat! It’s true love.
Then I crashed that dreamboat four day after I got it.
I didn’t cry, but it hurt something fierce. Ooooh man.
Then Tracy helped me realize how thug a chipped tooth from a bike accident can be. That’s friendship.
I found out that Buttermilk Onion Rings do not suck at all.
Also… kittens do not suck.
They’re actually the most precious creatures around… despite their smelly butts and sharp claws.
Stevens sleeps like this.
Lord help me.
A visit to San Francisco in the Fall makes me want to wear scarves and hold hands and make out. It’s something about the sky and the water and the wind.
I ate popcorn for dinner at least forty three times in the last five months.
I’m the boss of me.
Amen.
Marilyn
Joy, my bike was recently stolen and let me tell you I feel this horrible empty feeling :( Stealing bikes..or anything in general…is not cool! :'(
Lauren
I just realized – your cat’s name is Stevens… like Cat Stevens. Are you sure you’re not a rocket scientist? Because that’s brilliant. Happy Valentine’s Day, Joy.
Joyce Ziebro
Every time I want to smile, I’ll read this again and then I’ll think about my sister who sent it. : )
nicole @ our three reasons
i just totally fell in love with your blog from this post! :)
Jess
Inspired by your biking (but not your crash), the husband and I purchased bikes with some of wedding moolah. Now we ride around the city – without helmets, don’t yell – and enjoy the wind in our faces and the pavement beneath our tires. What a great 2010…so far…
Sam
Joy, I am glad your new bike has two brakes.
Mel
You have a pretty life, and a pretty face. Now I’m going to pop some corn and adopt a kitten.
Jazz G
And I was there reading each one of those moments. Thanks for being part of my life!!!
Becky T
Obviously people love your site– I just had to add that I too love reading your posts. Your recipes sound delicious (and the ones I have tried are)- very inspiring. But I love the way you write. So glad to get to see part of your life too! Thanks for sharing. : )
Lucia
Happy New Year, Joy. A full of bikes and kittens and sugar one.
Kaci
The bearded boy is cute, cuz I’m making assumptions about which one it is. But the kitty is cuter. ;)
Noelle
I have always heard about your website but I am JUST now visiting. I know right? Love this post. Makes you such a real person. Thanks for sharing. I smiled and liked your pic and comment on San Francisco. I am totally there and know what that is like!
Anna
Okay, us single girls want to know… how did you meet your lovely bearded match??! Its cold out here in the single world, and I could use some hot tips! :)
joythebaker
friend of a friend… and he’s persistent… and super sweet. does that explain it?
Lauren
My cat sleeps on her back, too! It’s the best thing ever.
Ali @ Three Baking Sheets
You’re a bicycling ruffneck! MC Lyte was totally referring to you in that song.
Random think-out-loud comment: I know an Adam Weiner who used to be a drum ‘n bass dj. I wonder if this is the same one mentioned on that wedding program…
joythebaker
mmm… i dunno!
official coach handbags

The thing I love most about your blog is the way you write :) Keep. On.

Love your post! It warms heart as well. Thanks for sharing.
Kaitlin With Honey
This post totally warms my heart. You lead a wonderful life. You’re also a brilliant photographer. ;)
Alma
Thank you for letting us into your world. How fun! Love the photo of your kitten….way too cute! I’ve been to the screenings at the cemetery…your right…the people are “exactly too cool for school” but for about 2 hours I felt that way too! ;)
Aly/La Luz Photography
I’ve hesitated to post, because hello – 141 comments already? Sheesh! What could I possibly say that someone else hasn’t?
Well what I want to say is that I read your blog often, and I wish we were friends. I love your sense of humor and think we’d get along fabulously. AND I live in Seattle. So, when you come visit your sister, hit me up! I’m a for-fun baker, too, so if all else fails, we could talk about that!
joythebaker
i’m glad you commented and it sounds like i’m due for another seattle trip!
Esther
I loved this post! Love the pictures, your words, all of it. And the way your kitten sleeps. Too cute.
Sarah Hrebicek
I giggled a that last picture. It makes me happy that you are happy.
michelle
<3
elizabeth
Ahhhhh! I want to squeeze your kitten! (No innuendo intended.)
Kathryn
Yay cute boys with bikes!
Bonnie@WhatAboutPie
Joy….oh my goodness, this was the best post ever! I completely loved every minute of it! The photos are spectacular..I love the 60’s / 70’s feel of the photos…so great. I love the photo of the porch with the table and the speaker and the blonde girl looking out, probably at the the ocean…i love that photo. Ok, the photo with the boys with beards…hmm, I’m thinking the one you like is the one that’s too cool for school..the glimpse of belly, the beard, the tossled hair, the hip hugger skinny jeans…could I be right? well, he is a cutie and so is the other one. Anyhow, i could go on and on…but I won’t…I just enjoyed seeing a little bit into your life…how wonderful. Thank you!
joythebaker
the other one is cuter. trust me.
Yolanda
Yay for boys and matches and bikes. Boo for scraped faces and chipped teeth.
Carrie
You’re simply the coolest Joy. So when are you heading back up to Seattle? I’ve told all my girlfriends about your blog and we just LOVE getting to know you through your recipes and stories. It would be our pleasure to make dinner for you and your sister when you’re in town next!
joythebaker
i want this!
Hilary
This is great!!! So cool to hear about what you have been up to! I love your pics too!xx
Suise R
great post – sounds like a great year!
Theresa
Love this post. I love all your posts, and drool over all your recipes, and laugh and cry at all your stories, but this one, this one made me quit delurking and come out and share in your happiness. Yay for you!
Susan Ortiz
I loved looking at your pictures!!! I usually find looking at virtual stranger’s pictures boring but I found myself sad when I came to the last one!
Meg H.
So glad you found “another bike”. Love blossomed for me while riding from San Francisco to Tiburon and eating calamari at Sam’s. Now we have five bikes – instead of two. : )
joythebaker
i LOVE this!
Diane
thanks for the giggles. i love your recipes. just thought you should know. :)
Luci
Emerged from creeping to say that I like this a lot.
Libby
Hollywood Forever! Yea!
This makes me smile.
Katherine
Ugh. Best post ever.
Mama Maria
You met your match?
When do we get to see him? ;)
Please?
joythebaker
yes. eventually!
Kaitlin
I’m glad that things are going so well! The last shot (yay, btw!) reminded me of this piece of wall art:
http://www.karmaloop.com/Products.aspx?ProductID=120445&VendorCode=BLI
Random, I know, but I thought it might be appreciated!
Keep on rockin’!
joythebaker
that;s super cute!!
Becky
Ok, I’m a dummy. Just searched your recipes. Of course you’ve made popcorn popped in bacon grease, but better! I’m following your recipe on the next batch! Thanks!
Becky
I don’t know you, but I love your blog. You make a ton of people happy with your food blogging. And you deserve your match. I really hope he appreciates your kitchen talents! AND, you’re beautiful, on top of handy. I have made those chewy chocolate ginger cookies of yours about 5,000 times already.
Hey, I just made popcorn popped in bacon grease! Have you done that? You should!
Jess
Yay for 2010!!!
Can we hear more about the boy you like the most? Hmmm???
Mama Maria
Ditto!
Jeanette
Ditto ditto!
joythebaker
hahahaa! slowly but surely, it will all reveal itself!
Hannah @ Bake Five
hey joy! great post. and i’ve got a question. how do u make your photos look like the bourbon one??? (: could u email me? thanks a lot!
michael
She is using an app on her iPhone called Hipstamatic. It’s very cool.
Stephanie
A great way to glance back at the past. A year condensed… I like that.
And the kitten sleeping on his back is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time…
Liz
I love the second half of your 2010 so much that I was compelled to de-lurk even though there are no freebies to be won. Happiness: it’s kind of a big deal.
joythebaker
you’re cute!!
tracy
it makes me happy that your 2010 included two pics of our times together ;)
and yes…i do see you wearing that RUFFLED SKIRT in your bike picture.
joythebaker
aaaaahhhhhhh!!!

Great post Joy! It’s always great to hear about you in addition to the great food you’re cooking up. I am looking forward to 2011 with Joy the Baker. Happy holidays.
Shari
Hey, I had an accident that about knocked out my front tooth this year also. I even had to wear braces for 12 weeks. It wasn’t a bike accident though………I was walking my dog and tripped over him. Doh! Anyway, I was glad to see I’m not the only one that fell on my face and tooth this year. Hope you’re doing good.
Gen
I love your post. Sometimes it feels good to look backward and think of all the things you accomplished in a year. And it’s a good year!

Your Southern Peach
Lovely post! I love boys with beards.
Christine
What a great post! I have to say, although most of the blogs that I follow are gluten-free, vegetarian websites, I love your site! I think it is your personality that comes through each article that draws me in. Your style is so natural and friendly…and your baking looks delicious. You deserve all of the fun that you have had this year, and I wish you even more for next year.
:)

Good to have you for the night and to read your lines. Do keep up the writing as it is running fast now.The last of the test pie I ate tonight.

You’d have a best seller for sure! Oooh! You have to tell us soo much more about your “match”!! Is he the one in the pictures on the right with the belly peek?

Sara Sunshine
What a fantastic year! Thx for sharing with us :)
Jen K
That little kitten pose is a move we like to call “paws to Jesus”
Helen
What a beautiful summary of your year so far! In all my ignorance I’ve always imagined LA to not really be my thing, teaming with vacuous actor types and barbie doll clones and such like (forgive me) but peeking in on your fab life makes me want to leave my humble abode in freezing Liverpool, UK and come and hang out with you!! Absolutely love the blog, keep up the good work xx
JennEJenn
Thanks for sharing your world with us!
Annie Webb
Joy… everytime I read one of your posts I feel as though I have a sister living on the opposite coast from me that I have never met. You are truly and credit to your name! Congrats on love. I met my match this summer, too, and you’re correct… Love? Dang…;)
Sonia
You are a delight!
Thanks for sharing your year!

Ouch! I too love to pedal. My brown bike is always laughed at but I love it! I hope I never take a spill like yours! I think I would have cried…
Deb in Indiana
Thankful I stumbled onto your blog this year.

Rebecca W
Hey Joy,
I love this, what a wonderful glimpse at your life in the last 11 months, I have enjoyed following your journey. May the lord bless and keep you and your bike man and your cute kitten. I am thinking of a vacation this next fall in San Louis Obisbo. I visited the Hurst castle there several years ago on a road trip with my mama. Thanks a again for sharing your life, love, bourbon, and baking. You are truly an inspiration!
Sarah
You are SOOOOOO COOL!!! I im so excited to finally be getting my camara so i can start taking awesome pictures too! This is totally inspiring and your treats always look scrumptious! <3 PS i LOVE stevens hes so cute and cuddly i can almost feel him purring through the picture. and i agree that you look super cute with your old bike very nerdy jaja!
Jen
Your kitten is adorable.
I’m looking forward to another year of reading your blog. Thank you for all the recipes, photographs, and stories you’ve shared so far.
Vicki~*

I love the pictorial reminder of how your year has been, Joy! Makes me think of how quickly things can change and people can grow in a year.
Tammie Perry
This post is adorable! You have a great life and you deserve it. Thanks for the peek :)
Lemon
Love this.
Vive
Love it.
Cheryl
The best blog post of all time….
Elle
glad to read about the bike dude.
now the two of you can go back to SF, wear scarves and make out (and eat at the Stinking Rose…)
Natalia - a side of simple
What a fun post. These types are honestly my favorite, besides recipe posts that consist of bourbon as a prime ingredient or those that feature dough balls :)
Barbara
Love your photo scrapbook. I started reading your blog a few months ago so this is totally silly since we do not know each other at all but your last photo is sooooo sweet it brought a tear to my eye.
Thanks for sharing :)
christine louise
Joy! I’m so happy for you! It looks like you’ve had a wonderful year so far (minus the chipped tooth and the stolen bicycle).. and you still have a month left! :D I can’t wait to hear about what adventures December brings you!
When Pigs Fly
Love all the photos! The kitten is too cute.
Meg
What an amazing life you have. I strive to be more positive and to do more fun and amazing things. And your kitten makes me want to get another kitten, but I already have two! One fat one with skinny legs and a tiny head (like Charlie) and one who likes to lay on the arms of chairs like a squirrel. :)
Suz
I love this and I love your blog. :)
jomamma
Sounds like a wonderful year and a wonderful life, you are very blessed. I don’t like wearing a helmet either.
Meera
Loved reading this post. Thanks for sharing. :)
Liz B
Love this Joy!!
Thanks for giving us a sneak into your life and 2010. And a good laugh again at some of your posts!
Awesome!!

This is awesome Joy. I love seeing into your life!
Maya
This only makes me love you more. Just so you know :)
Reesa
BEST!!!
Renu
I mean this in the nicest way, but I actually liked the picture of you post the dreamboat crash. Made you seam kinda real…kinda like me….or unlike me, who keeps falling off stationery (or is it stationary) stuff all the time!!!
theresasea
What a sweet post! Thanks for reviewing your year with us! :)
Silvia
great photos, and I made the dough balls, so yummy!
Shauna
This post is made of all kinds of WIN. I know your year has been full of ups and downs, but we are all incredibly grateful that you share it with us, chipped teeth and stolen bikes and crazy beach parties and all (but especially Stevens – oh mah gah, that kitteh just kills me!). Thanks for being way too cool for school, Ms. Joy, and allowing us to live vicariously through you. :)
Diane V
Yeah! I’m happy for you that you met your match AND he has a bike! Biking is the best – and so is love :)
Mark Wisecarver
Love this post ;-)
Jessica @ Jessiker Bakes
aww Joy! This is so sweet; and that kitten…I still want him! So glad you had an amazing year :)
Adriella
Oh Joy!! You had an awesome year!! So wonderful that you found a cute one for you! You deserve all the happiness in the world! Love your blog! ;)
pookie
Oh Joy! Just promise me that you will never stop blogging. You are the high light of my day most days.
I loved when you said “that is why we cannot have nice things”….it was like I was hearing my mom in
my ear!! LOL Reading this post felt like we were sitting on the couch looking thru a family photo album saying, “Ohhhhhhh remember this day??!!” Thanks for being you!
Estela @ Weekly Bite
Ok… I feel like we’re bff’s now.
Super cute post :)
Lauren at KeepItSweet
i love this post! oh and i don’t generally like cats, but your kitten is adorable!
Joan
I just started following your blog and absolutely love it! I adore your hipstamatic shots in this post.
michelle @ The Domestic Mama and The Village Cook
My favorite posts are the ones like these. Thanks for the mental vacation to your world. :)
Melissa
:o) all i can say is.. “awwwwwwwww…” is that corny? that’s all i could come up with at the time. You make me appreciate all the small but great things that come along with this thing called Life. The picture of your kitten just put me over…til I saw the pic of the ‘his and hers’ bike. Too sweet. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs and makin me smile in the process!
Sarah
I like your review of the year- It sounds like you have had a pretty spectacular year despite a few falls now and then. New kitten, new boy, new apartment on the beach—-and the love of so many people who are obsessed with your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Kathryn
This is a very special entry. It makes me like you more than ever and I liked you a lot before.
I am in love with your kitten. I just want to rub his tummy.
I have been know to eat popcorn for dinner too and I say Why Not?
I’m sorry you were hurt but glad you found your Special Guy and your Kitten.
You clearly enjoy life and that’s the way to be.
Katrina
I love your kitty so much. Oh my goodness. Your year looks like it rocked. There’s still more to come!
Cassandra
Hi Joy, I love your site and blog and signed up a couple of weeks ago. I really love your spirit and love for everything food, especially baking!! 2010 Part Two is fun and I hate you injured yourself on your bike.
Keep cooking away and enjoy life! You remind me of being younger and more adventureous. I look forward to more great recipes, pictures and stories.
Cassandra
millys mini kitchen
I like this. It’s all very happy.
:)
Helena
Your kitten is so darn cute! Does he really sleep on his back?
Ping
Lovely lovely lookback post, Joy! So sweet that you found your bike-bearded cutie! (same guy?? :p) Please continue to post your great recipes (and photos) and insights into your exciting life!
Karen B
Such a lovely post. Thank you so much for sharing your 2010 (part 2) with us.
Bike guys are the best :)
Tara
My boy with a beard gets here in precisely 17 days. I’m already compiling a stash of chocolate for him in the bottom of the fridge.
Just so you know, for future reference, deciding to go away for almost four months hurts more than falling of a bike. I reckon when he gets here it will be almost as good as a first meeting all over again though, so maybe it will be worth it? Maybe that will be my super-awesome-thug chipped tooth?
Dawn
Yes, reunions after time apart are the best! My fiance and I spent two years 12 hours apart for grad school. Our school breaks were fresh and electric, and each parting was torture. Now we have been married 17 years, and it still is that way. I hate those business trips, but there are rewards at the end. ;-)
Natalie
Oh man, thanks for posting this. I crashed on my bike this week and am feeling like a total dork. I cried. It also happened on the same day that I spilled smokin’ hot chocolate on my legs and all over my bed.
I’m guessing your boy is the lanky one, but I don’t know if it matters, they’re both pretty dreamy.
kay
You are too much fun Joy. We can’t wait for you to visit us at Picking Daisies in San Luis Obispo!
maria
i love this last post. your cat is adorable. and your house near a beach. you are very lucky
Jyothi
Sigh! Another perfect post. Your posts bring a smile to my face even in the bleakest of days!
Jessica
Is it weird that I feel like I know you? Like I was there for all of this and feel nostalgic seeing the photos again? I think it just means that I read your blog and am not a creeper…
p.s. Kitteh bellies are my weakness. So are bearded boys. So glad you’ve snagged both. Also, your eyes are gorgeous!
Irene
Thanks for sharing all these good moments with us. I just love coming here to read what you have to say…
Kristen Anderson
Thank you for sharing Joy! It’s been such a blessing to visit your blog this year – a difficult year – your blog is always a comfort and joy.
Sara
you. are. awesome! your pictures and writing bring a giant smile to my face. thanks!
Stephanie
Joy…you are totes hilarious. Your life narrative through camera photos is amazing. Slash…how did you get such fantastic camera phone photo skills?! Sigh. You are my girl crush.
Wei-Wei
2010 looks like it has been a great year for you. I’m sorry about your bike crash though :(
And… THE KITTY’S NAME IS STEVENS? :D
kangli
THE KITTEN!! Feel like kidnapping him.. and i particularly like the photo of you with your stolen bike.. you look both nerdy and cool HAHA
Sarah
This is the most precious post! Thank you for letting me see the last year of your life!
1. That wedding cake is absolutely magnificent!
2. Your tooth is EXTREMELY thug
3. I eat popcorn for dinner almost everyday ;)
And I’m so glad you and your bike man found each other <3
Hope the rest of your 2010 is as awesome as the first 11 months ;)
Sarah
