It was another month of hibernation over here, so once again, there’s nothing really noteworthy to record. I did order a bubble tea kit from Pluck (pictured above), and while it was a fun project, cooking the tapioca pearls is an annoyingly lengthy process (boil, steep, strain, rinse, store in simple syrup). My friend Jess......
I only left my home once per week in January to go grocery shopping, so there’s nothing that exciting to report this month. And while I didn’t bake anything (except these outstanding Cinnamon Rolls), I cooked every single meal for myself because I thought I could use a break from take-out (and didn’t take pictures......
Well that escalated quickly. At the beginning of the month I had a calendar full of fun Friendsmas plans, was excited for the holidays and filled with Christmas joy. By the end the month, I was in full pandemic deja vu. Just a couple of things to note this month: In 2019 Jen, Krishna and......
November is usually a low-key month for me, and this year was no exception. I cooked a lot of great food at home and have started a list of my go-to recipes that I need to finally document here in the new year: This seems like something from another era, but I had an epic......
What a joy and thrill to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with a table full of family this year, and even have a few small birthday outings! Here’s what else was going on during my favourite month of the year: I stuck to the classics for Thanksgiving this year, and for the first time, I......
Life continues to slowly inch its way to returning to normal, and I was so happy to have friends over to my place this month! Here’s what was going on: I almost missed PICKLING SZN because of my Wedding Cake Project and Ottawa trip at the beginning of the month, but got organized enough to......
I tried to soak up as much of summertime as I could this month, while also preserving my baking mojo for my big Wedding Cake project at the end of the month. Here’s what was happening: My co-worker and I went out for lunch at the beginning of August to Maro’s, which I forgot how......
What a time to be alive and double vaccinated! It was so fun to start hanging out with friends again IRL, and even share food! Here’s what was going on in the first month of my my post-vaxx life: My friend Jen had a few us over for a swim and patio lunch over the......
This month ended with a double vaxx and you can see how I feel about that as pictured above! Ready to have a fun summer, see my friends IRL and actually be able to eat treats together instead of dropping them on doorsteps! Here’s what led up to my second shot: My friend Erin came......
It was a pretty quiet month here, but I did have a very important cake to work on, and an extra special delivery to make. Here’s more: I think I mentioned in another monthly recap that I’m making a wedding cake this August! It was the bride-to-be’s birthday this month, so I thought the timing......
