I posted recently about slouchy knit hats, and I finally finished knitting mine during a couple episodes of Downton Abbey. It turned out exactly as I’d hoped, which I’m kind of surprised by considering that I combined patterns and sort of winged it at the end. Unfortunately that means that I don’t have a pattern […]
Giant Whiskey Cinnamon Roll Cake
Lately I’ve had a fierce craving for cinnamon rolls, which is weird because I can’t even remember the last time I had one. The heart stomach wants what it wants, though. I tried to resist, and then the other day I was at Ikea, and I figured I’d just give in and have one of […]

I’ve been meaning to tackle this project for months, but I was worried it wouldn’t work out the way I pictured because I hadn’t really done much embroidery other than some cross-stitching when I was like, ten. Luckily my fears were unfounded, and it turned out even better than I imagined. It was the perfect […]

Hazelnut Beet Burgers
…Or, what I had for lunch today. And maybe dinner, too. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The origin of these burgers goes back to an event this summer organized by the Portland Mercury called Burger Week. For one week, a bunch of restaurants in town offered $5 burgers. For a vegetarian like me, that […]
