The Rawlings Conservatory

One of my favorite places in Baltimore is the Rawlings Conservatory in Druid Hill park.

It is such a relaxing, interesting atmosphere.

There are some amazing blooms right now.

So if you need something to do on a rainy, or cold, or nice day check it out... and invite me a long.

I wish you enough!

Valentine's Day Menu

We are staying home and cooking a fancy dinner tomorrow.  Stay tuned for the following:

Bouillabaisse with Rouille from "Sundays at the Moosewood Restaurant"

and

Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes from Cooks Illustrated.

I followed these recipes pretty straight on and don't think I can post them here b/c of copyright.  You can find the lava cakes online, and if you want the recipe for the dinner I'm sure you could search the Internet for one that is just as yummy.

Hope you had a great valentine's day and that your life is full of love year around.

I wish you enough!

Hats, Baby Hats

I've been on a role lately with knitting and recently finished two adorable hats for my adorable baby girl.

One with butterfly stitches:

from Knitting Pattern Central

And One Imp Hat:

From Iliveonafarm.com

She only "likes" to wear hats outside in the cold so getting this picture was difficult and the green one impossible...at least it was this morning.

On another note, I made a savory bread pudding the other day that I thought would be blog-worthy for sure.  Well, turns out it was the worst thing I made so far this year.  The picture is nice though and at least I know what to do differently next time.

Double Mushroom Bread Pudding

I wish you enough!
