Yes, as rumored, I recently celebrated my 31st birthday, & I did it DnD style, aka with sloppy art, good food, & my incredible friends (both absent & present)(yup, I stole that). Some scenes from my first day of being 31:
A very late breakfast/lunch with Melissa at Woodstar = two different versions of smoked salmon on an everything bagel with coffee...
& a gorgeous thunderstormy dramatic sky above one of the views that makes me want to keep living here.
Then Rin, Melissa & I went on an adventure north, many very important objects were acquired from both food & thrift stores, & we unexpectedly found Ali in Greenfield.
The night concluded with a dinner party & Rin winning the cupcake competition. Yes, Rin officially wins at cupcakes.
These margarita cupcakes really did included tequila, & were rolled in salt, in homage to our favorite book. Wait until you try the bourbon cheese straws. An unexpectedly awesome birthday, all around. Thanks once more for all the birthday love. XOXO.
I garden, I cook, I paint, I glue paper scraps together, & I am Iris' mama
Iris & I live in a tiny cottage in rural Western Massachusetts a few miles from the Vermont border with my husband & Iris' dad (Owen), our red tick coon hound dog (Walt), grey tiger cat (DustyRose), & a crazy Americana rooster (Bourdain) & a small flock of chickens.
I am getting used to being a new mama to my girl. I used to think about food, c0ok, draw, & collage a lot, & I'm still trying to find the space for those things in my new mama-life. I love to draw my little chosen family, & our meals & our garden. I'm working towards producing as much of my own food as I can.
I don't have much money, but I appreciate good food & nice things & I attempt to achieve my culinary & artistic goals as cheaply as possible. It's an adventure. Use what you have, y'all.
