One of those days

epic fail
Okay people.
It’s clearly time for something to happen here.

How to Make a (Dutch) Baby
Got a brunch guest you need to impress?
Just feel like being indulgent all by your lonesome?
Have I got the recipe for you. This is absolutely the least labor-intensive way to impress someone with a breakfast item. Plus you get to cheerfully announce that you’re having babies for breakfast.
I got this recipe originally from Orangette, but given my familial propensity for heart disease, I’ve been tinkering with it to make it less 
guilt-inducing/artery-clogging.
The ingredients:
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. 1% milk (or whatever you’ve got. Just not skim)
2 eggs
1 tbsp. butter (or thereabouts)
The method:
1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
2. Whisk together flour, milk and eggs.
3. Melt the butter in a small cast-iron skillet. It’s going in the oven, so don’t use anything with a plastic or otherwise flammable or meltable handle.
4. When the butter’s melted, pour in the batter.
5. Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Don’t peek! Resist! Go entertain your guest. Make a mimosa or something.
6. 25 minutes later, voila! You’re a culinary genius!
Serve hot. I like mine with lemon juice sprinkled atop because it goes so nicely with the slightly salty eggy taste, but it’s equally good with a nice jam or powdered sugar.
mmmm…

If these were available as prints, I would totally buy them and put them in our kitchen.

Went backpacking up in Baxter State Park over the weekend (beautiful as always).. Hiked into Russell Pond and launched day hikes from there for a few days. It was great. Just the thing to really, truly get away from it all.
There are always lots of
