Cinnamon

Don't you just love birthdays? Even someone else's birthday. Actually especially someone else's birthday. I know everyone says this and doesn't really mean it, but truly I love giving presents way more than receiving them. More than that, I love to make someone feel special. I love the thrill of planning little surprises to catch...

Turquoise matte nail polish. It makes my nails feel like they're made of satin. My vintage Fenton milk glass hobnail salt and pepper shakers. They make me want to collect all things milk glass and pretty and dainty. My beautiful freshwater pearl ring. That trio of pearls on my middle finger always makes me smile...

I baked you a cake. A Blueberry Boy Bait Bundt Cake with Lemon Blueberry Glaze. Try to say that ten times fast. I love blueberries not just for their adorable smallness, their violet blue hue and explosion of sweetness. Blueberries also hold a special place in my heart right there next to jars of buttons,...

I have a habit. The bad kind. Early in the morning I browse through the magical land of food blogs before I've even eaten breakfast. I would not recommend this. It's like grocery shopping on an empty stomach. I have to make this. And that. Ooohh this looks good. I could eat a whole vat...

I take things personally. I try not to, but I can't help it. If I discover that a person dislikes me I'll wrack my brain for the answer to their derision. I'm not the type of person to hate anyone so it's hard for me to understand why someone would point their hatred at me....

So I just burnt my nose. Seems odd right? It get's weirder. I burnt the inside of my nose. I was a little too anxious about inhaling the intoxicating scent of a fresh batch of Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffins that when I opened the oven to check on them I got a face full of...

You might have already guessed this, and some of you know first hand, that I'm a bit of a perfectionist. It's gotten so bad that I even annoy myself. Most jobs around the house I insist I do myself mostly because I don't trust anyone else to do it the way I like it. I...

Like many children it was difficult to make me eat my vegetables. I used to dream up new and creative ways to hide away my peas, carrots, corn, beans, etc. Some weren't so original like stuffing all the vegetables into my mouth then conveniently having to go to the washroom afterwards only to flush them...

When I discovered that I would not advance in Project Food Blog my mind reeled with a series of thoughts. The first of which I won't repeat here. But the second thing that came to mind was, well I guess I don't have to make those Cinnamon Buns anymore. But really, why wouldn't I? I...

     I know, it's kind of late for peaches. Consider it my last ditch attempt to hold onto one of my favourite fruits and seasons. Summer is so fleeting and peache season is short-lived. This year we were lucky enough to have an early Summer but it's fading too quickly. The leaves are turning and the...
