Trying Saru Handroll Bar for the first time. Fun to see a wine I helped make on the menu.

I've been eating way too much take out lately since I still didn't have a working sink (I know, it's stupid). And I finally thought, "to hell with it I'll deal with the dishes somehow" and made myself dinner. It's a Cacio e Pepe kinda Monday

Without downloading any new pics, what's your energy going into 2025?

Very good wine and a pretty solid playlist for this Friday post Christmas. A little odd to be spending it alone in my apartment, but also maybe needed?

Been catching up on some women's game episodes while Christmas present making/wrapping.

Spotify is trying to be like: 'this song is the ensemble's.' and I'm like no sir this sounds like Bebe Neuwirth. Sure enough- it's the 1997 revival.

I organized a holiday wine pick up party and last hurrah before we closed for 2 weeks. Including a sugar cookie decorating station and H. Goutorbe Special Club Champagne 2008...

It's another special request cake day. The boys call it a "FPC" (fucking princess cake). Olive oil chiffon, raspberry rose jam, vanilla diplomat, mascarpone whipped cream, and fresh marzipan.

Pulling something one of a kind from the "library" (closet). Don't let anyone tell you white wine can't age.

Very excited for these two, and for their many soccer rivalries who already seem geared up to claim the next fireball on the pitch.

Once in a while, I still take cake requests. Today's little feature: Citrus infused Vanilla Cake, Bergamot Vanilla Buttercream, Thyme macerated Strawberries, and Chantilly.
