You’ll have seen, and perhaps you have not, that issues have been quieter
round right here currently. (Actually, I subscribe to so many newsletters and blogs
that I feel it takes me a few years to understand I have not heard from
somebody shortly.)

So, HELLO(!) from the Dallas space. Lengthy story
brief medium ;): Mark and I met and married right here and have
wished to maneuver again ever since we moved away 22 years in the past.
Quick ahead a few many years…Jack graduated from faculty and is fortunately
working in Dallas. Mark and I each earn a living from home, so it was time. Properly, it
took us over a 12 months to seek out the appropriate home, however sure, it was time!
We have been right here two weeks and are IN LOVE. Bye, loopy Houston humidity; miss
you by no means!
I am unsure what it’s. Possibly it is simply transferring and getting a contemporary
perspective. Possibly it is transferring again to the place the place you first lived in your
personal, made all of the errors, but additionally began your little life. Possibly it is
being nearer to household – dwelling near Jack is sort of a dream.
No matter it’s, I really feel extra myself. Extra free. Extra relaxed. Extra at residence in
my pores and skin. In that vein, this house can be extra relaxed, too. No extra
dragging out backgrounds and props. (I used to be by no means any good at that anyway.)
You will see meals as we eat it. If it is nighttime…the images may be a bit darkish
and grainy.

juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Prepare dinner till the peaches are smooth and the
liquid has thickened.

to mix till clean. Carried out.
Make the cake, including peach purée within the heart and on the finish. Swirl it with a protracted
wood skewer into the batter.
Warning: Do not add an excessive amount of of the purée as this will throw off the
liquid ratio within the cake. We’ll add extra purée to the plates when
serving.
