My homemade almond poppy seed bread! A coworker told me it was just like his mothers (and that made me happy to no end!).

Tiamat is correct-- these are something you eat growing up in a middle eastern family. Green almonds and green plums are a sure sign of spring. You will often find me eating both...with salt!

Coming from someone who has lived in a converted space-- I would highly advise against converting a space into an extra bedroom unless this is to be used strictly for overnight guests and no...

Cypress Grove makes the best chevre I've ever eaten. Humboldt Fog has now made its way into Fresh&Easy in Los Angeles! I've managed to convince my mother to buy it when I come into town. Nom nom...
