Love with Food Box, September 2012

Food Subscription Box

I will be back tomorrow with a bento. Today is a quick post for Relatively Wordless Wednesday, featuring my September 2012 Love with Food Box.

Lego Dragon

Starting Sept. 2, 2012, until I’m done, one post about my fabulous New York City 2012 vacation will post until I’ve finished sharing all the fabulousness with my readers. I have lots more on the horizon for NEB and my New York City posts need to complete before I can. I hope you have fun [...]

Relatively Wordless Wednesday: Copycat Lemon Tart

The experimentation has begun.  I keep thinking about that lemon tart I had at Ai Fiori, NYC and how I would make it at home.  Step 1 began with a recipe for the lemon filling from Smitten Kitchen and a recipe for a chocolate nut butter filling from Gabby’s Gluten Free.  The shell is a [...]

Relatively Wordless Wednesday: Green Leaves

Broken Drill Bit

It died fighting the good fight in a house reorganization project (I always seem to be in the midst of one of those).  Goodbye, my favorite drill bit.  You will be missed. P.S. Mike of Another Pint Please, I so totally stole your title for your Wordless Wednesday posts.  It fits so much better than [...]
