Anyone have any advice for growing beefsteak tomatoes? One of my husband's coworkers gifted us some extra plants earlier this summer. This is my first time growing them. My only experience so far is with cherry tomatoes. 🌱
Fruit fools were a popular Regency dessert that involved folding cooked fruit into custard. This modern version inspired by Jane Austen's EMMA uses fresh strawberries macerated in elderflower liqueur and layered with sweetened whipped cream. 🍽📚

The fox returns! 🦊 This is particularly special, since I'm reading A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft, which includes a fox spirit called the hala. 📚
Needed to bust out one of my favorite mugs for a farewell toast to Summerween. 💀
Happy #Summerween! Throwback to the time I made an autumnal menu inspired by Over the Garden Wall, complete with pumpkin waffles, apple pie popcorn, potatoes and molasses, and "dirt cups." https://f.mtr.cool/ptjbcpwqdq 🍽️🎥📺
I wasn't planning on doing much gardening this summer (just berry bushes and apple trees), but then my MIL gifted me this basil plant and one of my husband's coworkers had some extra beefsteak tomato sprouts. I see many Caprese salads in my future. 😁🍅🌱
Summer is almost here, and the little green raspberries on my bush will soon be bright red and ready for harvest. Can't wait to use them to make some Raspberry Cordial Italian Soda from my cookbook, A LITERARY PICNIC. You can find it here: https://f.mtr.cool/hapuaojtsy #AffiliateLink 📚🍽️
This is what I'll be telling people now when they ask why I hoard cardboard boxes. 📦
Woke up from a nap to find that someone outside had the same idea. 🦊
My parents got a Great Pyrenees puppy! He's a super chill bean, and according to my dad, he'll grow to the size of a pickup truck. Mom and Dad opened the family group chat to name suggestions, and they picked mine! Say hello to Aslan. 🦁 #AslanIsOnTheMove #HesNotATameLion #HesAlsoNotHouseTrained
I was doing some recipe testing for an upcoming project, and I FINALLY learned a method for Devonshire cream that doesn't take hours in the oven! This called for some rainbow sprinkles to celebrate. 🍽 (Recipe below)
In honor of the announcement of a 4th Emily Wilde book, here's a throwback to that time I made a menu inspired by the 1st Emily book. These glazed almond cardamom mini cakes are the perfect accompaniment to a day of reading: wonderlandrecipes.com/2023/10/19/g... 📚🍽

Now that the weather is nice, I can finally set out the books bricks my mom painted for me! 📚
