part-time domestic goddess

the irony of living in new york is having a bigger apartment but not spending enough time in it.


truth be told, i haven't been baking or cooking as much as i'd like. "back in boston", i was literally whisking, beating, creaming, mixing, cutting, chopping, slicing as much as 5 hours a day, 4 days a week. i know some of you will say that was when i didn't have a life. it is boston, after all, right? ok, there is some truth in that. 


but more than that, i really like being in the kitchen. i love baking (more) and cooking (less). and whipping up a thing or two on the stove or in the oven. i love testing out new recipes. i love discovery of unexpected flavours. i love the anticipation of how it will turn out. i love the smell that fills the flat (fav: baked cupcakes, breads, cookies, pies, tarts - just about anything with sugar). 


most of all, i love the look on the hubs' face like its the most delicious thing he's ever tasted :)
