Young Whippersnappers

Right after Christmas I had my tonsils taken out. I was probably too old to have it done, but I was tired of battling strep throat and sinus infections! While I was busy suffering not so silently, my dear friend Vivian kept me company. She brought me fresh local honey and pancake mix, which I was able to enjoy immensely even considering the pain; and even made sure I washed my poodle pajamas before I put them back on. Flash forward 3 months and now it’s her turn to be ‘laid up. She endured a far more serious surgery than I did, and is dealing with it with far more grace. I made these lemon original cookies for her and can’t wait to try out her modifications next time! Think of those chocolate orange slices that you crack open…She was always the culinary creative one--Yum.

Lemon Whippersnappers

8-9 oz. package Cool Whip

What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something loose-knit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful, that comes into my mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through. I should like to come back after a year or two, and find that the collection had sorted itself and refined itself and coalesced, as such deposits so mysteriously do, into a mould, transparent enough to reflect the light of our life, and yet steady, tranquil compounds with the aloofness of a work of art. The main requisite, I think, on reading my old volumes, is not to play the part of a censor, but to write as the mood comes or of anything whatever; since I was curious to find how I went for things put in haphazard, and found the significance to lie where I never saw it at the time.

I grew up watching cooking shows instead of cartoons. I get whisks and pastry brushes in my Christmas stocking instead of traditional trinkets. My favorite thing to do is frost a cupcake. My undergraduate degree was in Theatrical Costume Design, which means I take pride in how I am presented. I own monogrammed wine glasses, and my own set of Italian Vietri China. I collect English tea cups, and love a good cucumber sandwhich. I shop at J.Crew and Banana Republic and I have traveled to over %9 of the world. This blog began as a travel log while I was abroad, however like most things in life-- plans are subject to change, so here's to good food and good fashion!
