Sunrise on the train station. Vegetable Mofongo and yucca fries from Mi Casa Restaurant, unlikely vegan options are my favorite. Stripes and dots. Pumpkin Dandies really taste like pumpkin. Kitchen color. Quickly go the days.

Happy, safe, and warm… and foolishly skeptical of the much-discussed impending storm, Hurricane Sandy. This is moments before all the cats were stowed for a trip to higher ground. I thought it unnecessary at first but… I was kind of wrong. I needed to use up the sliced mango in Read more…

It’s going so fast. I am trying to savor each day, but that seems to make them fly by even faster. Here are some images I’d like to hold on to. I become obsessed with the Electrician‘s butterfly bush as the the summer rolls on. Monarchs start fluttering around dancing Read more…

Small branches and leaves littered everywhere like a clumsy, ravenous herbivore had it’s way with the land. Much to the disappointment of the newscasters reporting on the storm, the damage was far less than expected. I Read more…

1. Watching the butterfly activity around the Electrician‘s butterfly bush. 2. Collecting hugs. 3. Trying to return to baking. Here is a two-layer orange cake with lemon glaze icing. For my Pop’s birthday. 4. Weekending in the Hamptons. That’s an outdoor shower next to the “Love Shack”. 5. Seeing the Read more…

Doubling my megapixel count, I am now the proud owner of a new digital SLR camera. I spent a whole morning getting to know its buttons and dials around the grounds of The Electrician‘s, who so generously bestowed it to me, in sly fashion, in honor of my graduation. Besides Read more…

There’s wild asparagus growing in my boyfriend’s backyard. You probably don’t understand how cool I think this is. But let me try to explain… I write love letters to beets. There is not one single vegetable that I don’t adore. Tubers, stems, bulbs, leaves, buds, sprouts, roots: if it’s edible Read more…
