Ginger Peach and Plum Crisp

Small bowl of Ginger Peach and Plum Crisp, ready to eat

I made up this new dessert, based on my Wineberry Crisp recipe. Instead of wineberries it would feature the flavors of a brown betty that I made half a lifetime ago. But I had a bit of a mental block about the primary ingredients, that I only realized mid-recipe-assembly. Oops! Despite that, the end result was good enough to share. So here it is 😋

TWiP: Abandoned in New Jersey

This Week in Pictures, Week 28, 2022

This Week in Pictures, Week 26, 2022

It’s a long weekend here, and I don’t have a lot to say, except that I’m happy you are here, reading my words and flipping through my snapshots. I’m going to get off of the computer now and go do something worthy of the weekend. I hope you do the same, once you’re done here!

A Scone Recipe and an Early 90’s Playlist

I can highly recommend baking berry scones and playing music from the early 1990’s in a favorite old apron during your lunch hour. If you’d like to try it, too, you can have my recipe and my playlist. I’m keeping the apron, though 😜

TWiP: Bubbles, Berries, and Bum Buds

This Week in Pictures, Week 24, 2022

I picked up my fancy camera more than usual, which I think is probably a good thing. Having a hefty device in my hands, looking through a viewfinder, being intentional about focus… it’s a different experience than phone photography usually is.
