Cinnamon Apple Buttermilk Scones

by brittany on February 21, 2012

Two topics:  The Thin Man and Cinnamon Apple Buttermilk Scones.  Firstly, my parents got Michael and me hooked on The Thin Man recently.  We’ve only seen two of the movies, and we’re smitten.  If you’re looking for something to rent, please please please try this 1934 detective/comedy flick.  Oh, maybe you’re all modern and use that netflix thing that the pop-up boxes keep offering me.  I’m sure they’ve got it, too.

Low-Commitment Projects: Tae’s “Wash Me Dirty Car Drawings”

by brittany on February 20, 2012

Tae’s Low-Commitment Project this week perfectly exemplifies our title–I love that she found her materials (a dirty car and I assume her finger) and made something amazing out of practically nothing.  Check out her Wash Me Dirty Car Drawings.

Coconut Ginger Tapioca with Mango

February 18, 2012

I spend a fair amount of time trying to fool myself into thinking I’m not really eating dessert.  I know I consume more cookies, bars, and tarts than one should, so I’ll set a mental goal of not making any dessert Monday through Friday in a given week.  As Monday afternoon approaches and my sweet [...]

Grapefruit Avocado Salad

February 16, 2012

I feel like such a February cliché.  ”It’s been winter for awhile now, we’re all sick of starchy root vegetables, and we need something to brighten up our taste buds.  Sounds like it’s high time for citrus salads!”  Ugh.  Well, I can’t help it.  I’m giving in and sharing my own current citrus salad favorite.

Low-Commitment Projects: Oysterville Wallpaper Patterns

February 13, 2012

This week’s Low-Commitment Project, Oysterville Wallpaper Patterns, has a backstory.  I had this idea that I would visit the Beard’s Hollow beach at low tide and the sea would have magically deposited at my feet all of the beautiful shells I would need for my project.  I wanted to make elaborate, fanciful, colorful wallpaper patterns out [...]

Cauliflower Soup with Pecorino Romano

February 10, 2012

I just asked Michael, “Wouldn’t it be fun to make about five papier-mâché versions of Gretta in different positions?”  While he liked the idea, we both agreed it would be tough, given my status as a non-sculptor.  Sometimes it would be nice if my ideas were easier to bring into fruition, but at least I [...]

Summerized: 3D-Printed Jewelry by Summer Powell

February 9, 2012

  Over the last couple of years, my sister, Summer, taught herself to use a CAD program.  I think I was busy making cookies and petting my dog, so maybe I should think about learning a useful skill, too.  After mastering the program, Summer then designed jewelry with it.  She has her designs 3D-printed, and [...]
