I am always on the hunt for recipes I can pull together without a trip to the market. Yesterday, having just discovered a bag of frozen blueberries in the freezer, I set out to bake something deliciously summery. After perusing the Food Network website for a bit, I stumbled upon Ina's Blueberry Crumble Cake.
Now that I've devoured my first slice with my morning coffee, I can attest that this cake is scrumptious.
Even though my overall design aesthetic is funky vintage French, I always have beachy details in my rooms. Whether a stray seashell or starfish, having seaside objects nearby makes me feel relaxed and give my spaces a casual attitude.
Like Amélie Poulain, my life is all about the littlest pleasures: the freshest, pinkest raspberries; the deep blue of a Vermeer painting; the perfect crispness of a glass of Prosecco; the divine simplicity of an afternoon at the beach; the heavenly scent of a vanilla bean. Here I blog to celebrate the good life, la dolce vita, la belle vie. Cherish life's petits plaisirs and enrich your daily existence.
You should know that I take liberties with grammar, punctuation, & diction. Do not fear! I assure you I've been educated about the woes of abundant comma usage or the impropriety of ending a sentence with a preposition. Here, as this is not my dissertation, I write as I talk. I also make up words on occasion.
"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." -Ernest Hemingway
