“I grow old ... I grow old ...
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers,
and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.”

#RecipeOfTheDay is just right for Bonfire Night, which is rather old-fashioned of me, I know, since it seems that it’s been swallowed up by Halloween these days. Still, this Fresh Gingerbread with Lemon Icing is gorgeous whether you’re waving sparklers or not tonight! www.nigella.com/recipes/fres...

This is God’s gift (via the beneficent Deb Perelman) to mankind.
A 16-year site favorite in which two minor-seeming things -- flaky sea salt and brown butter -- transform crispy treats from a "kid thing" to something so good it's hard to share with a kid -- or anyone. No matter where I take them, they never last 30 minutes.
