Citrus Almond Pound Cake
I have had the fixings for this cake for nearly 2 weeks. Which means it has probably been 3+. Always add more time when discussing the passage of time…and me. Much like when doctors ask you about alcohol and/or caffeine consumption. They double whatever you say. Because we lie. Or miscalculate. Or misjudge.

Mom and grandma both had very similar if not identical versions of The Betty Crocker Cookbook. Red, with what I imagine were once white pages but now light brown with age and use. Pages torn andContinue reading “Plum and Pluot Galette”
Peach and Mixed Berry Crisp
Does anyone control themselves at local farmer’s markets and fruit stands along the highway or even in the freezing produce aisles of the grocery store? Which makes me beg the question…why are grocery stores so darn cold in the midst of summer? I, no joke, along with my grocery bags and list, tote along anContinue reading “Peach and Mixed Berry Crisp”
