I’ve spent the day baking and lounging, and will do the same tomorrow. Ari’s going to be at a bachelor’s party tonight so I’m going to have dinner with my friend Caitlin and spend time with my parents… it’ll be nice to relax with a mug of tea, a book, and a holiday movie or two.
What are you up to? If you’re baking cookies, I’d love to see your recipes! I’m in the market to update my go-tos.
Unfortunately I’m not able to upload media from the computer I’m on, so I thought I’d take this time to invite you to send me any and all questions you have about yours truly! I know I write daily about my life (and my food), but if you have any burning questions, fire away! Want to know how many pairs of socks I own? My favorite pretzel? If I danced at my prom? Bring it on. (Note: Logistical questions, such as “Can I have your phone number, area code first?” will be ignored. Sorry, dolls, but it’s important for me to be able to maintain some level of privacy.) I’ll put up an FAQ post within the next week or so.
Enjoy your weekends, and stay warm!



What is your favorite holiday movie? AND what is your favorite dessert EVER?
What made you want to blog?
Also, if you like biscotti, I have a recipe that is really delicious. It’s orange and almond flavored. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll send you the recipe!
Yess!! I soooo wanna hear about your senior (or junior) prom experience with pictures too!
And i’d love to hear your absolute FAVORITE oats combo. Like, if you had to eat one type the rest of your life??
I’m not sure if you ever addressed this, but how did you and Ari come to be?
What’s your favorite part of living in the city? And would you ever move anywhere else?
You must be pretty happy with the snow right about now!!
I think I already know your favorite pretzel, so I’m going to go the “how many pairs of socks do you own?” route.
I kid, I kid… I’d also want to hear about how / why you decided to start blogging! And what’s one place you’ve never been that you’re dying to visit?
As for the cookies… I do have a few that everyone loves, but they’re not the least labor-intensive! (Not that they’re incredibly difficult, but they do involve a little more effort than stir-spoon-bake.) I can send them to you, if you’re interested!

I love the new layout- it looks SO cool. Nice job. Enjoy the baking! I did a little bit yesterday and may get back into it today
My question is about blogging in general. I’ve been reading food blogs for about a year now I want to start one of my own. I saw on fitnessista and mama pea’s blogs that there was hacker and every blog needs security. What are the things I need to know about starting up a blog?
Wow… I just realized I have definitely given you quite the task… just some helpful hints would be nice. Thanks!
Hmmmm. What has been the biggest surprise in your lifetime? Not as in what surprise did you get. As in the ww web, or computerized everything, or finding that you love the country even though you’re a city girl. that sort of reflective surprise.
It’s hard to beat the perfect batch of chocolate chip cookies. It’s also surprisingly hard to bake that perfect batch–not too crispy, not too chewy, just the right amount of chips, etc.
Can I have your phone number, area code first?
SEASONS GREETINGS, MELVILLE
WELL, I for one, would like to know when you’re available for a re-scheduled (but nevertheless traditional/annual) day-after-Christmas day of ice skating (uhh, yea, redundant. but my brain is progressively deteriorating since GRADUATING so forgive me, darling). ALSO, did you know that this year, ice skating is synonymous with DIY-anything-day (found an awesome blog to help us along)? Also with thrift shopping, rolling around in the snow (if there’s any left and it’s not yellow), watching movies on your parents bed… or doing just about anything? POINT BEING, LET’S GET TOGETHER, YEAH YEAH YEAH… looooooove and merry merry my darling
