I kind of love my white leather handbag. Like use it all year round, throw all the things in it, wear it with all the outfits, love it. I've had it for ages -- as a matter of fact my mom bought it for me as a gift when we lived in NYC and that's coming up on closer to a decade ago than not -- but it has been looking a bit worse for wear for longer than I'd like to admit. However the only experience I'd had with cleaning and restoring white leather up until now was in grade school and … [Read more...]

Fig & Walnut Chai Porridge
They say necessity is the mother of invention and one morning not so long ago breakfast was a necessity (as it is most mornings, obviously). But this fateful morning, before I sliced and toasted the last Hot Cross Bun, I rang RJ to say hello... R: hey, that toasted Sticky Date and Chai Hot Cross Bun you made for me this morning -- are there any more left? J: one... R: can I have it for breakfast tomorrow? J: ... R: ... J: sure. And so in the absence of my intended breakfast … [Read more...]

Wholewheat Pear & Blueberry Muffins for Mother’s Day
A letter to my Mom on Mother's Day 2015. Hi Mommy! I miss you. You remember a few weeks back when we were in the midst of one of our usual slightly-random-but-filled-with-pretty-things conversations and you said "I've been feeling like you're really far away lately"? Well something caught in my throat because I'd been thinking the same thing only a day earlier, even though we talk all the time. Of course those calls are great but it's the telepathy across the world moments that make … [Read more...]
