I received a bag of rhubarb stalks from a coworker today, and although I’ve eaten rhubarb before, I’ve never actually brought it into my own kitchen. Which means I need to do some research about putting it to use. Seeking inspiration and knowledge in Ripe by @nigelslater . Leaning towards baking/roasting the stalks in bulk, then portioning them out for a couple of different baked goods. What’s your favourite way to prepare rhubarb? #rhubarb #acookintheorchard #afternooncoffee #anthromug #bake #baker #baking #moody #monogrammug #cupofcoffee #mugshot #bakingproject #locallysourced #locallygrown #nigelslater #coffeegram #cookbook (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbouunAy1Z/?igshid=14jvwg4hi48r6

I grew up in Colorado- a state where you could see snow as early as September and as late as June. I love living in Washington now, but sometimes I miss snowy days. I don’t really miss the dirty grey mounds on the side of every road, the black ice, or the sleet that either needs to give up or go all in. What I miss is that exquisite quiet that comes with a heavy white blanket; the peaceful mesmerizing hourglass of falling flakes; the magic of hot chocolate that makes numb cheeks and cold fingers disappear to the tune of childhood nostalgia. I had a glorious walk this morning in some fantastic PNW fog, but my heart almost wishes it was snow. So I’m having a double mocha for my afternoon pick-me-up. Brewed coffee mixed with mocha drinking chocolate, topped with my singular artificial guilty pleasure- Jet Puffed marshmallows. (The health food ones just don’t compare.) ❄️ ☕️ ❄️ #coffee #coffeetoo #coffeegram #hotcocoa #drinkingchocolate #mocha #marshmallow #marshmallows #mug #anthromug #hotchocolate #pnw #pnwonderland #colorado #homestate #coloradonative #mochagram #theartofslowliving #pickmeup #afternoonpickmeup #mugshot (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqD1lBhFija/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l7hnyqhzgvbh

Trying to finish one last book before the year ends! I read less this year than any previous year- I blame being a first time homeowner! One of my New Years goals is to get back to my previous amounts. #coffee #coffeetoo #books #bookandmug #theessexserpent #reading #literature #historicalfiction #booksbywomen #anthromug

Coffee and basque style cheesecake made by @ferrarokitchen . It was SO GOOD you guys. Rich, creamy, and with a dark caramel flavour from the deep browning it gets in a hot oven. It would have been even better with espresso and maybe a spoonful of marmalade, that’s for future me to figure out. For now I’m just going to hunker down and enjoy what’s already near perfection. #coffee #coffeelover #basquecheesecake #anthromug #morningcoffee #morningpastry #cheesecake #ferrarokitchen #littleferrarokitchen #spanishcuisine #spanishcooking #spanishpastry #subwaytile #coffeegram (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pu-blgdrm/?igshid=15kcpqvzhkjj7

After a day of little man's activities, morning hockey and afternoon swimming, now we're finally home. Thanks Johana @my_ownstyle_decor and Bethany @theposhhome for tagging me to play #relaxationsunday. I received the #restorationhardware catalogues a while ago, and now I can finally indulge in them. They're my perfect #afternoontea companion, served with yummy #lavenderblueberry #chocolatebar @dagobachocolate on this gorgeous #NYC enamel tray, souvenirs from my bro and sis-in-law. 😍😍😍 . #relaxation #roses #pinkroses #freshflowers #anthromug #monogrammug #anthropologie #bijoucandles #mybijou #homesense #myhomesense
