Original plum torte. Cut up four plums and had so many pieces leftover I made another cake to put them in. Looking forward to trying this tonight! http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/3783-original-plum-torte

Organized the pantry! Too many flours have fallen victim to pantry beetle attacks, even when I put the flour bags in freezer bags. Bought a few new containers and conscripted all existing ones. Hopefully this works!

Used this recipe here from Delicious Magazine

It's still rhubarb season! Wish I had more berries and rhubarb in this but it was very good. Came together very easily too! http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/best-rhubarb-dessert-recipe

Sautéed fiddle head ferns to celebrate the first day of summer! I got them at the super market but my husband used to pick them as a kid! A taste of Nova Scotia! Boil in salted water for 7 minutes, sautée with garlic, pepper and olive oil for 5

This week in the chocolate chip cookie bakeoff I’m doing, it was Christina Tossi’s Milk Bar Salted Chocolate Chip cookies. It called for powdered milk, but the only package at the store was HUGE so I used powdered buttermilk. No noticeable issues with that. Might order it special or check another grocery store, because these were SO GOOD. Platonic ideal good. Lots of compliments my husband and friends :)    http://www.foodiecrush.com/milk-bars-salted-chocolate-chip-cookies/

I’m going to try some of these recipes from this article (https://www.buzzfeed.com/lindsayhunt/chocolate-chip-cookie-taste-test?utm_term=.hw14X0DV1#.fwWrmjA09) Starting with the Cooks Illustrated one. Browned butter adds a lot of flavor!

Mary Berry's carrot cake! Made it and brought it into work for a busy day so that everyone could enjoy together. The banana added a lot of good moisture

These were Mary Berry's fork biscuits...I should post more failures!! The ones that weren't burnt were perfect and delicious. Made me want to go back to the UK!

Made crepes using smitten kitchen's foolproof recipe! Cookie butter was my favorite topping

It was a Great British Bakeoff Easter! Mary Berry's Victoria Sandwich and Paul Hollywood's Spanakopita
