pardon the dust

April 2010 . Industrial Sink

I’ve made some changes to the setup of this blog. Please be aware that I’ve removed the splash page and content can be viewed directly on the homepage, http://www.bakerydays.com. Though, if you should still prefer to visit http://blog.bakerydays.com, by all means, be my guest! =)

If you don’t know (or are just tuning in), I began blogging over 10 years ago. At that time, blogging was relatively new and I didn’t know what I wanted of myself or this blog. I’ve carved and re-carved out this little space numerous times. It began with numerous iterations of daily ramblings of little substance to personal works with little explanation. Over time, both this space and I have grown to encompass what I hope is my personal spirit, and while I may not blog as frequently as years past, I hope that the content has evolved and matured into something more substantial.

This is a labor of love. Thank you.

January 2010 . Rolling Pin

How unfitting that in August, when I should be frolicking around under the warm summer sun, I’m bundled up indoors with the heater cranked up. Yup, it looks like this year summer decided to take a sabbatical. So in honor of this cold, drizzly summer weather, I’ve pulled from my photo collection a winter treat–cinnamon rolls! » Read the rest of this entry «

July 2010 . Sweetness & Light: The Mysterious History of the Honeybee

“…eating is an intimate activity. The desire for knowledge is behind the success of farmers’ markets, where you can meet producers face-to-face, ask questions, and get a sense of who they are, in the process of discovering what is on your doorstep.”

Some of my favorite passages comes from this book, Sweetness and Light: The Mysterious History of the Honeybee by Hattie Ellis. » Read the rest of this entry «

Another farmers’ market treasure: fresh mint. Not only beautiful, bouquets of fragrant mint leaves dress-up my kitchen so delicately with it’s beautiful aroma–and I love that it’s scent can waft throughout my home so lovingly. » Read the rest of this entry «
