domesticity


I made this delicious treat, courtesy of Annie's Eats (one of the most fantastic food blogs, because she has a NEW RECIPE, LIKE EVERY DAY, AND THEY ALL LOOK SCRUMTRULESCENT): Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Coffee cake is, in and of itself, a kiss from the Lord himself. But I really like how the sour cream gives it kind of a... tangy moistness. Not an overwhelming tangyness. Okay, my spiritual gift clearly is not using words to describe delicious food. But drop by my house and I'll be glad to share a piece with you.
Then, breakfast was so on my mind that I gave in to eating blueberry pancakes for dinner.


You may say, Mara, do you think that was a healthy decision? I'd say no. And I admit that I ate them guiltily. But um, if eating something like that for dinner is wrong? I'm not sure I want to be right. Please do not ask me what I drank with it. Because I was NOT out of milk. and I was NOT raised to think tap water is something fish have sex in. and I absolutely did not drink a Boulevard.
Lastly, I have picked up a new pursuit. Long story short, I am new Mara. (a phrase which must have been used in this blog upwards of a million times) and new Mara is going to be a proficient seamstress. Even if the learning to sew does take place on my bedroom floor sitting Indian style. (politically correct?)

Sitting indian style on the bedroom floor is the perfect way to learn to sew. That's how I did it. Not even kidding.

By the way, the verification word for this comment is "crumess". I think it's a good compunding of "crumb mess", which is exactly what that coffee cake is going to leave behind.

I've been obsessed with blueberry pancakes as of late. I have them almost every other day. I should give you my whole wheat recipe because they are still delicious, and they at least fool me into thinking that they are healthy.
