Yorkshire Pudding
A Door Just Opened On A Street
A door just opened on a street–
I, lost, was passing by–
An instant’s width of warmth disclosed

Enlightening misery.
Emily Dickinson
A very fine recipe for Yorkshire pudding here.

Nana Claires Yellowware Bowl
August 26, 2009 – 3:18 pm
Love and melancholy rush in whenever I use my Nana Claires bowl. The sturdy piece of yellowware is smooth yet pitted and cracked from age and regular use from three generations of Robb women. Mindful of its heft as I pull the bowl gently from its home on the stainless rack nestled among the other [...]
