Nana's poundcake


First dinner in my new apartment

My mom was my dinner companion. She bought me the flowers and taught me how to roast a chicken, stuffing the cavity with chunks of lemon and orange. I love you, mom.

The farmer's market in Tarrytown, NY

These vegetables looked so pretty lying on the burlap. My mom later painted (oil) these images.


Strawberry picking at Terhune Orchards in Princeton, NJ

My dad and sister and I went strawberry picking. The fields were pretty well picked, but we still managed to bring home four good pints. This was the perfectest berry we found that day.

My mom's three wedding cakes - chocolate, carrot, and tiramisu

Of course you can have three wedding cakes!

Don't forget the fries.

My favorite cupcakes are at The Bent Spoon in Princeton, NJ

Cupcakes are trendy now. But these little delights from The Bent Spoon will be relevant to people who know what great food is long after the trend has passed. They are the most delicious cupcakes I have ever tasted. There are two sizes, small and smaller, and four combinations of chocolate and vanilla cake and frosting. They are the little black dress of cakes.
