Happy Easter

Dear sadly neglected blog.
We had a lovely Spring brunch yesterday. We are lucky enough to have fabulous cooks as friends, and had an insanely plentiful potluck spread.

I tried out a sticky bun recipe from the Bon Appetit Cookbook I got from the library. I get nervous with anything that requires flipping after baking, but they were so tasty that any malformations in the flipping went unnoticed.

Here are some tamales to keep you satiated while I get back into painting mode. We made them for a Christmas Eve party using a recipe from my favorite Mexican cookbook.. I've always wanted to make tamales. It was time consuming, but with good friends and old school rap music to dance along to, it was a blast and they turned out delicious!
Now that the New Year is here it's time to get back to art. I've been busy knitting, sewing and baking the past months. Crumy weather seems to bring out the domestic in me and makes getting out into the art studio/shed more difficult. The weather is still crumy granted, but the wax and paint are finally calling me so stay tuned...
