I share my thoughts and observations about my life.
My baking challenge for September must have been telling the future somehow because I made focaccia and the first challenge of Bread week for the new season of The Great British Bakeoff just so happened to be focaccia! I made the focaccia on September 15th and that episode aired on October 8th. A freaky coincidence!!??... Continue Reading →
I am someone who craves the changing of each season. When it’s been too hot for awhile, I look forward to the chill that creeps in. If it has been freezing cold with already four or more snow storms, I’m ready for the warmth of spring and the beauty of the flowers blooming. My favorite... Continue Reading →
July 29th, 2021 marked 4 years in New York City. Each year has been brought so many unique experiences that I thought would be fun to reflect on. This may not be the most interesting blog post but I love a good list and reminiscing on my time so far in the greatest city in... Continue Reading →

As demonstrated by the years that I didn't post, I didn’t keep that promise. Now that I’m recommitted to this blog, I hope to... Continue Reading →
The end of March was equal parts busy and relaxing since I was prepping for then went on vacation. I found time to make the pretzels but not to write up my baking challenge for the month. I am hoping that in April I will be able to catch up and get back on track.... Continue Reading →
Today is March 8th, 2021. A year ago today, I was spending time with my friend Kristina who was in town for a weekend full of theater. We visited Hamilton Grange for a tour, walked all the way back to midtown with a short stop at Levain Bakery for cookies, and then had dinner at... Continue Reading →
...Making eclairs was a pretty fun challenge. The recipe I used was this one from foodnetwork.com. The process of baking eclairs involves 3 components - the creme patisserie, choux pastry, and the chocolate glaze. Oooh la la I feel so French! It took a while to complete the bake but I am happy to say... Continue Reading →
I am quite the overachiever which is perfectly demonstrated by the fact that I made not one, but two types of bread this weekend. Bread takes a while with all the proofing and waiting around. Each bread took about 5-6 hours to make overall so most of my Saturday and Sunday involved kneading out dough... Continue Reading →
