This is all so lovely! Cambria (and all Kitchn editors), I am enjoying the heck out of the Gatherings series. Absolutely wonderful for ideas and inspiration.

Ice cream--but also strawberries and whipped cream (the real stuff!).

Good grief, I didn't take my own advice and TOTALLY missed that clarification in the post. IGNORE ME. Too busy looking at pictures to notice the words. *hides*


Why Panna Cotta Is the Perfect Dessert

Oh man, I hate to be this person (and I so want to make panna cotta ASAP, because I had no idea it was so easy)--but isn't gelatin absolutely non-vegan? It's essentially the result of animal byproducts, right? Or is there such thing as a vegan gelatin? I'd be into that.

Seriously though, drooling over these recipe pics. Thanks, Faith!

Oh goodness, that soup is gorgeous! I've had an aversion to beets since only ever eating the canned ones as a kid, but this makes me want to try again with the real thing. Thanks, Emily!

Easy enough for my beau and I--our birthdays are 19 days apart, so last year we hosted a party halfway between the two dates for both of us. It was a hit! Gotta love birthday month.

Okay, this is still whipping cream, but this addition totally changed the game for me: add cocoa powder. I whipped in about 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder with a splash of bourbon and a light sprinkling of sugar and dash of vanilla per 1 cup of un-whipped cream, then flopped it all over the top of bananas sautéed in butter and brown sugar. Sweet damn, it was delicious.

Ahem. But I've also been known to stir whipping cream into coffee if I'm feeling particularly indulgent. Or double-boiler it with chocolate chips for a chocolate sauce. And tallsarah, I'm with you on the scones!

Oh my GUH. You moved in a *month* ago? This place is GORGEOUS. Love the sofas, the closet, and I love that you still got this super-glam look from places like Home Goods, Craigslist, and Pier 1. Fabulous all around!

Lately I've been cubing root vegetables and roasting them at 450 for about 15 minutes--makes them totally crisp and wonderful, and for only a few bucks for a big serving. You can use any amount/combination of the veggies you want, and just toss in olive oil, salt, and pep before laying out out on the parchment or aluminum-foil-lined baking sheet. I usually do potatoes (sweet or regular), carrots, onion, butternut squash, and whole garlic cloves. With a bit of cheese they'd be great to fill an omelete, too. Save whatever doesn't fit on the baking sheet, and you can roast it up the next night/in a few days.

Good luck with the class!

I absolutely adore this space, especially the chalkboard wall. This is totally one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-this? situations, and the pops of color throughout are just wonderful. I kept coming back to this post all weekend, and the cogs are definitely turning. Love, love, love it. And that typewriter is fabulous. Eee!

Sarah Kate, I just love your articles. Not only does this look absolutely delicious, but it's so wonderful to have a dish that brings up all sorts of memories.

Nancy, this post just brought back a FLOOD of memories. My younger brother and I definitely had this book as children, and I loved how neat and tidy everything looked, and the collection of boxes. Wonderful post with wise words that are still totally relevant. :)

Ahh, this post sounds like one of your weekend meditations, Dana. To read it mid-week was a lovely mental break. You're right--sometimes there really is something special about a simple omelet and glass of wine. :)

Honestly, I was just standing in the store yesterday debating whether I should buy a roll of it--which I never have before. And still haven't. I finally decided against it, as I don't do that much baking. But the reasons above are pretty convincing!
