sifted words — tablespoon, revisited

June 4, 2011

My friends, it is officially summer. I know for some of you that might be stating the obvious, but for me, I feel as though I went to sleep one night in the winter and woke up to a hot, summer morning. Springtime had a fleeting presence, one dotted with subzero temperatures, a few rain/hail [...]

rhubarb apple bread

May 28, 2011

It was one of those weeks.
I’m sure you know the kind — when nothing works, nothing goes the way you want it to go, everything falls apart and can’t be put back together again. Or, at least it seems that way.

Hello my dears!
I’ll be honest — I am really nervous to host my first-ever giveaway. It makes me feel all professional or something, which we all know is not the theme of my adventures here.
But let’s back up. I’m going to tell you a story.

orange-pecan sticky buns

April 24, 2011

Dear driver who nearly ran me over while I was walking across the designated crosswalk the other day,
Dear person who doesn’t agree with my opinions and thinks I’m a loony for thinking the way I do,
Dear construction workers who are tearing up the streets and sidewalks, literally, in front of our office building, causing my [...]
