We begin by baking a pie, because who doesn’t love the smell of pumpkin pie at 8 in the morning? I tried out a new crust here, inspired by the Vodka Pie Crust over at Smitten Kitchen.

Mission: carbonate all the things is undoubtedly underway. And I love it, being that I’m not a big drinker (despite my boozy baking), homemade sodas are a way I can concoct creative beverages and enjoy them just as much as any cocktail (although, might I add, this soda would be a stellar base for a boozy addition). This particular soda is a tart and fruity mix of hibiscus flowers and lemon; a hibiscus lemonade, if you will, with an effervescent fizz....

This month, we’re tackling crepe cakes. Which, really, is two challenges in one, the basic crepe being the first and the actual cake an entirely different challenge completely. A crepe cake is not a quick, throw-together kind of dessert. Also called a mille layer cake (meaning a thousand layers because, honestly, by the time you’re done making crepes it’s going to feel like a thousand).

You know what? Canning in the winter is quite enjoyable. I need to do more of it. Especially when the temperature drops, standing next to three boiling pots on the stove is quite lovely. A nice change from the frigid depths of the living room. Earlier this year I received a note from Tom of Singer Farm Naturals, who found one of my posts touting the deliciousness of garlic scapes (which, I agree, are underutilized)....
