"He slept that night in his own country and he had a dream wherein he saw God's pilgrims laboring upon a darkened verge in the last of the twilight of that day and they seemed to be returning from some deep enterprise that was not of war nor were they yet in flight but rather seemed coming from some labor to which perhaps these and all other things stood subjugate."
The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy

Domesticity Log: April 17, 2012: Grilled Chicken Summer Spinach Salad with Dill

I know. This looks so delicious. It has mandolined and marinated zucchini (the only way to eat them, I’m now convinced), strawberries, goat feta, roasted chickpeas, dill, thinly sliced red onions…..we were pleased.

Domesticity Log: April 20, 2012: Artisan Pizza Dough

On impulse, I borrowed the book Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day from the local library, and tried out a pizza dough recipe, and immediately realized that I needed to buy the book because a) you don’t knead the dough, b) you leave it in the fridge for up to twelve days or something crazy like that, and c) it is delicious. More and more I just refuse to knead anything. I’ve fought with too much dough.

Domesticity Log: April 7, 2012: Strawberry Custard Tart

My Easter tart, for the smaller of the two family dinners I attended for Easter. A lovely creme fraiche filling baked in an easy puff pastry pie shell, covered with fresh strawberries. Again, a perfect spring dessert. 

Domesticity Log: April 3, 2012: Peanut Butter Butterscotch Marshmallow Squares

Look….this is the trashiest dessert. And I know it. But goddammit, I love these little squares. I love them to no end. 

Domesticity Log: March 13, 2012: Buttermilk Bacon Pancakes

I just baked the pancake around a slice of mostly-cooked-already bacon. And discovered my new crack.

WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS. I’m sorry, guys, I’m realizing that when I’m on a diet my Tumblr becomes 100% more food porn.

beautiful vanilla bean ombre cake.

I’m done the school year and everything is beautiful right now. But especially this vanilla bean ombre cake.

Dough rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Sugar is beautiful and living is pain. The smell of fresh doughnuts floats down a dark street.

In the fanciest restaurants, order what sounds least appetizing.

Frugal economist Tyler Cowen, revealing one of his six rules for dining out.

“The logic is simple,” he explains. “At a fancy restaurant, the menu is well thought-out. The kitchen’s time and attention are scarce. An item won’t be on the menu unless there is a good reason for its presence. If it sounds bad, it probably tastes especially good. […] And consider that a few items may be on the menu specifically because they are generally in demand, not because the chef cooks them with special brilliance.”
