My elementary school gal pals and I have a holiday gifting tradition of “hand-made” only. This was prior to Pinterest so we must’ve been poor high school students. I’ve stitched hearts onto fleece blankets, made mason jars full of mulled wine ingredients, boxes of matcha chocolate chip cookies with peppermint bark etc.
This year, I made fudge and cupakes.
This year, I spent Thanksgiving in Toronto. Like clockwork, the weather was amazing. The bluest of skies and fluffiest of clouds. This was my contribution to dinner.
I don’t always eat out, despite what these food reviews make it look like. In fact, cooking and having dinner parties is something I enjoy tremendously. During grad school, I had a “breakfast club” and threw weekend dinner parties. There’s something so wonderful about friends, wine, food and concentrated laughter.
Here are some other homemade goodies, guilty of being photographed vertically:
