iced leftover morning coffee-from-the-pot chocolate shake
Hi all! Allow me to coolly sidestep the fact that eons have passed since my last post and just slide on into this one…

strawberry jam
I was sitting in my friend’s apartment in Montreal, chatting with the girls about the many bridal showers, baby showers, and other opportunities for gift giving around the corner. It’s not that we weren’t excited for all these upcoming happy occasions,

ground cherry jam
There’s something about ground cherries that makes my heart beat just a little bit faster. Now, I am saying that as if I do not actually know what it is that causes this to happen. Let me come clean right off the bat: I know exactly why this happens. The story
