jackie shatz. rings & pendants.
I met Jackie Shatz in the early 90’s, and have always appreciated her sensibility when it came to jewelry. Not something I had ever given much thought to, but I was inspired by her choices and aesthetic. Now, I am a huge fan of her own creations, each piece a tiny, exquisite work of art.
yet another. rosemary sourdough.
my sister’s birthday. deluxe cheesecake.
My baby sister, Elizabeth, turns 21 this weekend, and asked if I would bake my Rosemary Sourdough Bread for her party. I will also make cheesecake, one that my mom used to bake (recipe & directions included), when I was young.
hazelnut sourdough. dried fruit with orange peel. orange butter.
I still have the homemade candied orange peel from the Christmas Pannetone, so I figured I would make a dried fruit breakfast bread with some of that lovely, gooey sweetness. For the other bread, I pan-toasted some hazelnuts before kneading them into the dough. 
fountains. landscape paintings.
Series from the late 90’s. Oil on board.
today’s simple sourdough.
Per my daughter’s request for something more ‘normal.’ Apparently, the charcoal sourdough is on the banned list. No idea why…
