Chocolate Rocks
Like the perfume of freshly squeezed orange juice or the whisps of flavor that float on the air when chicken soup is simmering, the smell of melting chocolate and almonds softens my resolve not to eat just one of what I am planning to make: chocolate rocks. They couldn't be easier. O...

Your questions, answered.
Q: Hey P, where did you go, girl? Hi kids! Well, it's been a busy period of "throwing myself into my new job" and "spending time with my family." We all know that's a load of horseshit, so let's just be honest and fess up to what's really been going on: Floundering in a thin watery gruel o...
Absolutely: natives like to be able to spot tourists easily. Its like wearing an I heart New York t-shirt in New York. No, Im kidding, stripes are timelessly French and everyone wears them.

Everything FREEE!!!!
This must be Christmas in September. Yesterday I was telling you about the Paris trip giveaway (it's not too late). And today come two new wonderful giveaways. These days it's a miracle if we get to pay for anything at all. Drumroll number one: Kit Colson, the interior designer who blogs at ...
Oh boy does this brighten my day indeed, and it needed it! Funny how you write this on August 22 and I read this only today (I must have marked it as read by mistake) when I really need some brightening. LOVE YOU Penny! :-))

My kid's in college, now what?
My friends I got myself a bad case of the clicka-ritis, that awful itch to click away on google or facebook hoping for a distraction rather than do anything productive, such as brushing my teeth for example although it's already 6 p.m. That phase is usually followed by chocolo-ritis. On wednesda...
Penny: I should apologize for the lost sleep but that would be hypocritical since that is the best compliment ever! Staying up for my book?! I would love to be a fly on the wall at the book club meeting. If you wanted to gather questions or comments I would respond on your blog or mine, or something of that nature. Merci Penny!!!!

Thank You Shannyn and lovely to meet you! Youlll be the first one to know (Youd think Id be the first one to know, but apparently I am not, I just found out while clicking) that Amazon is offering a sale on the paperback, so its not $13.99 anymore but $9.35. Yeah!!! How and why this happened is a mystery but Im thrilled! Now let me hop on to your blog:)

I'm discovering your blog and your corner of Vermont via Nadia. The two of you make me long to hug baby chicks and pick cherries right out of the tree... but my life is in Los Angeles, a world of difference.

We are lucky enough to have a Montmorency Cherry Tree on our property. It's a fairly young tree and this year I got to the cherries before the birds did. I was able to stash away a lovely and very swollen gallon freezer bag full for future use but I used a quart of fresh cherries to co...

On my way to the doctor's surgery today, I turned a corner and found an old lady lying on the ground - she had obviously fallen. Her name was Adelaide, a beautiful name I think. She was 86 years old and lived in my neighbourhood. She was trying to get to the doctor's too. I called an ambul...
Opportunities do materialize: They say that luck is preparation that meets opportunity. So I say follow the passion: if you develop your craft you will be ready when the opportunity arises. Sorry to sound like the inside of a fortune cookie but i truly believe this. So many women dismiss their chances so they don't even try. Who knows what opportunities they wrote off in the process.

It started out with a dream. That's all. And then it became a hope, a wish. And then....then it became a quest. There were tears, there was hand wringing, there were moments of desperation. Because in the face of obstacles it's all too tempting to look behind you longingly at the path whence ...
