Persimmon Chutney and Sunsets
From the sublime to the sublime. We came to the beach on New Year’s day with the car full of projects and books and instruments (well…a ukulele anyway) AND the last few persimmons from Richard and Juli’s big persimmon harvest this late fall. R wanted to make persimmon chutney so we looked up recipes on […]

QUONSET NEWS!
Well not exactly news actually, but news to me. My friend Karen is an archivist of sorts…she saves, she bundles, she files…then she purges by sending off the myriad clippings and files she has saved to the people she knows are interested. The other day this came in the mail… And she’s right…I love quonset […]
Cranberry Chocolate Cake
“Back in the day”…the Arbor Cafe day, that is, R’s favorite birthday cake was one the cafe made that was cranberry-chocolate…no frosting. I took no recipes with me into the studio in 2004, but the last few years, at birthday time, there has been a certain pining for the cranberry chocolate cake, so this is […]
