Leslie's Retreat Salem, Ma

We drive by this sign all the time. I think it's hilarious and odd. How long do you think it's been there?

v-day grocery store roses vs. homemade heart cookies

We had a pretty quiet valentine's day. I went to the grocery store to pick up some supplies for dinner when I spotted the overpriced v-day roses. The shot was so strange and cliché. On the right and below are my shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate I made a few days ago.

Heart Cookies

I made cookies tonight. I will feeling PMSy. Usually my baking gets messed up when I feel this way. It's strange. The hearts were all off a little and lumpy, but still tasted good. Especially, after I dipped the shortbreads in chocolate.

It's really hard to take a photo of yourself chopping ice in your driveway. This is the best I could do.

peanut butter and jelly bars 2.5.09

I made these last night. As I was packing them up to share with my friends at my favorite coffee shop I took a few photos. I posted the recipe on my blog if any one is interested in trying them. Super yum.

tangerines in a row

I love putting things in rows. Today the tangerines were my subjects.


p.s. I was actually doing this while I waited for greg to yell up to me from the basement. He was working on our frozen pipes and I had to turn the water off and on.
