were i to host a party - which, at the moment, won’t be happening, as i’m super busy* from day to night and am happy i find enough time to wash my undies, frankly (ahem) - i’d probably make a healthy kick scandi inspired party. something featuring this insane rye crispbread. maybe a crispbread barContinue reading
i’m still - and might be forever so - on the hunt for the perfect cookie. one that’s slightly chewy and soft, not too sweet, not too thin, with a nice, buttery flavor. i’m still not sure if the lack of the perfect home made cookie in my life is due to my lack inContinue reading
i’m not the biggest fan of mash - though my better half definitely is. he likes everything mashed or pureed, from potato mash to celery mash and pumpkin and everything in between. so, occasionally, i’ll venture into mash land, and this particular time, we came up with a fantastic combination, that even won me over.Continue reading
