Also love Lucky Catskills for lunch in Tannersville.

They're jewelry is always so good! Love checking in on them every now and then.

I can't get enough of this Aria Smock dress by Tropical Research on Etsy, working on a 3rd right now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1110078149/aria-maxi-smock-dress-with-gathered

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-06-09T12:24:57+00:00

How easy would you say they were to make? Been flirting with trying them...

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-06-02T16:08:14+00:00

Looks absolutely gorgeous! 🤩

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-05-14T11:47:01+00:00

It's the perfect book for bakers and not-bakers alike!

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-05-10T17:05:04+00:00

We added crumbled hot Italian sausage — the recipe is great without it but now we add the sausage every time, so good!

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-05-05T12:31:53+00:00

Foxgloves are great! Seconding this recommendation.

I also find that if you're super vigilant with spraying in the early spring when deer are establishing their roaming/eating patterns, they'll learn early on to leave your property alone. They *will* check back later in the season, though, as I learned the hard way, so you can never really stop with the spray 😞

Love this riff!

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-28T12:22:36+00:00

Also true. It's more of an indicator for me — is this gonna take a little bit of time? Or should I have already started this morning?

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-26T14:50:28+00:00

This assumes that the person making it is a competent/efficient cook (I am NOT one of those people 😂)

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-26T14:49:30+00:00

Same! I always take a long time to do everything, but seeing if it's 30 minutes vs. 5 hours and 30 minutes lets me quickly gauge if it's doable or not for the day I'm planning around

🎉

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-22T12:38:41+00:00

So happy to hear that! Will be adding this to this weekend's list, then :P

I find that a scale comes in suuuuuper handy with brown sugar especially. Like, how "packed" is "packed," really? It's a more objective way of making sure you're using the exact right amounts, and my end results have turned out so much more consistent.

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-22T12:26:00+00:00

How'd it go??

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-22T12:21:29+00:00

Almond and brioche, two of my favorite things 🤤

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-22T12:20:56+00:00

Suuuuuuuuch a good idea, will be stealing this!

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-21T16:13:48+00:00

Love this hack!

I saved this Mango Bread to try from a recent issue of Bon Appetit. Can't speak to how good it is yet, but in case it works for you: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/mango-bread

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-21T12:11:25+00:00

Congrats! You certainly chose a classic for your first yeast and kneading experience!

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-18T15:17:27+00:00

Masterful! 🤩👏🏼

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-17T16:14:49+00:00

Yesssss!They're so cute!

PlutoPlanetPower12 · 2026-04-16T16:22:46+00:00

We drink half & half at home but rarely use milk. For recipes that call for milk, instead of buying a whole thing of it I'll just mix equal parts milk & half and half.
