This week I have two simple but sweet little works of art/feast.
I love these almost surrealist anemones. They just sort of pop up, the way anemones do, in their own way. I love their silliness, and how as I’ve said before, flowers like these are like little protests to the difficulties around them, bursting out of the ground all bent and kooky, yet brilliant and all the more because of their surroundings.
I also love love love sharing this fabulous little plate of treats when friends come over. It’s always so quick to put together and it looks so inviting and indulgent. Try this out whenever you’re in a jam for something to throw together at the last minute and feel free to sub any single sweet ingredient for something you already have in the pantry. Just follow the formula: Something creamy, something fruity, something nutty, something crispy, something chocolate. Start with your biggest item, and slowly add the smaller things until you’re piling bits of nuts and dried fruit in the empty spaces. You can even grab your vegetable peeler and shave a few pieces of chocolate onto the top for added pizzaz. Every time I make this one it’s a little different, but a thing of joy nonetheless. Try it!
