Blue & White

Not cool enough for long sleeves, or layering; a sleeveless maxi it is.  

Can you still wear something like this where you're at?

Ready For Halloween

I'm thinking about dressing up as Gogo Yubari for Halloween this year.  At first I thought I'd buy a costume, but with an outfit like this,  I can style these pieces with other outfits, and not waste money on something I'd only wear once.

Are dressing up for Halloween?

Almond Torte

Even though I'm not a big fan of snacking on almonds, I love desserts that have almonds in them.  

Whether they're in ice cream, croissants, cakes, macaroons; you name it I'll (most likely) love it. 

While looking for a cake recipe, I came across a torte recipe that's become my go-to recipe when I have a craving for something sweet, but won't make me feel like I over indulged afterwards.


To make this torte suit my tastes a little better, I made a few tweaks here and there.

• 1/2 cup minus 1 t  of sugar (I found using a full cup made this overwhelmingly sweet) 
• 1 t plus 1/4 or 1/8 t of lemon extract instead of the almond extract and the orange water
• baked at 340F for 15 to 20 minutes (depending on your oven)

I love having this for dessert or breakfast (if there's any left over), with a cup of tea or coffee.  It always manages to hit the spot.
