O Chanticleer

It’s notoriously hard for ftms to find decent swimming suits and last summer was such a pain for me water-wise, that I decided to design my own and went the Victorian knit bather route.

Lately I’ve been getting really into fermentation.  Out of a desire to make myself happier by means of healthier gut flora, I’m trying out a lot of different methods — yogurt, pickles, ect.    This is my first attempt at sauerkraut.  It’s so pretty!  You can find my recipe at my food blog here

Mini Orange Blossom Water & Lemon & Nutmeg Apple Pies

I hadn’t made a real butter pie crust in ages (I’m poor so I usually make an oil crust, which isn’t bad), I had completely forgotten just how good it could be.  I splurged and bough some fancy Irish butter, which just took it to a whole new level.
