Hey there, Friday. Nice to see you again. Does it feel like Wednesday to anyone? Just me? I think the long weekend/short week threw me off, but I’ll take it all the time! [via] Some link love for your weekend from some of my favorite nooks of the internet this week: I’m stoked about…
med school spouse survival kit
Now that almost everyone is back in school, school and dorm supplies are still everywhere. Parents and students descended upon the stores, snagging folders, paper, lunch boxes, futons and pretty much anything you can fit in a cozy 12’x12′ cinder block home. While everyone else has just gotten settled in and used to the school schedule again,…
sally lunn bread with honey butter
I’m a little afraid of baking with yeast. I have had a lot of fails and only a few successes. It is temperamental, that yeast. Mixed with liquid that is too hot, it will die, too cold though and it wont proof correctly. So many times I have anticipated gorgeous golden loaves of bread or…

england part I: london’s main attractions
After our week in Scotland we journeyed on to London, England for another week of travel and exploration. London is such a huge city and we saw new sites and different boroughs every day. We mapped the attractions we saw each day by location, seeing the sites and neighborhoods that were in close proximity to each other…
porridge with raspberry ripple and honey roasted pistachios
When we were in the UK this summer we had the best porridge for breakfast. We first tasted it at The Elephant Room, the cafe where J.K. Rowling started writing Harry Potter, and were hooked for the rest of our vacation. We tried to recreate it in our apartment in Edinburgh and were unsuccessful, with burnt porridge…
