Just realized how much my busted and mostly dead basil plant looks like a praying mantis just lurking in the background. Gonna buy a fresh & new one at the greenmarket next weekend… sorry, buddy, you’re depressing the hell out of me.

Also I would say that the best part of baking a pie is getting pie crust cookies but, like… pie…

Bun & bread Saturday

americastestkitchen: We think Ciabatta bread’s light, airy interior is the perfect loaf to spread, place, or melt any of your favorite sandwich toppings on. I want to branch out with my bread makin’ this year and Ciabatta is definitely on the list.

Made my first pie of the year this morning!

Also I smashed some candy canes with a hammer.

Made some hella dope cookies last night. Couldn’t look at them without getting dizzy though.

That thing where you bake a pie and then immediately eat like a third of it.

Today’s pie was poor in filling but rich in smiles.

In case you ever find yourself wondering “hey, should I give this pie a Jack-O-Lantern face?” the answer is always “yes. Yes you should.”

Today’s apple pie is a bit more Impressionistic than Picture Perfect, but I reckon it turned out ok!
