I’d like to think I have a pretty good memory, but there are parts of my life that, try as I might, I simply can’t recall. I can’t remember what my parents gave me for my eleventh birthday. I can’t remember why, when I was twelve, I thought it would be a good idea to [...]

Each time I dip into my stash of Vosges to slowly savour another bar of chocolate-y deliciousness, I find myself saddened by the dwindling nature of the stash.

And as a result, I feel qualified in sharing with you something that I’ve been diligently working on in my spare time (translation: working on for the past five minutes).

Do you remember the time I introduced you to that which makes my heart flutter? Surely you do. I’m talking about the tall, dark, and handsome granola of your dreams: my Spiced Fig, Pepita, and Molasses Granola. (You can find that recipe here.) Today’s granola is a bit different.

Some days, I’m all about the thrill of the new. Sure, most of the chocolates in my post-travel stash are technically new, seeing as I haven’t opened them, but they’ve been in my company for so long that they feel familiar. Imagine you work at a coffee shop patronised by regular customers. Then imagine it’s a [...]
