Lazy weekend

R. is sick so this weekend was all about comfort food. And The Wire, Season 2: our new crack addiction.

Warm mulberry and pistachio granola + blueberries, yogurt and honey

Hot popovers + jam and butter. Easy and quick recipe here

Kale and basil soup + chicken. With gruyere toast. Based on a recipe from here.

I worked in the lab both Saturday and this morning, but I did find the time to make these salt lick bars from Bake and Shake:

Mine might not be very pretty, but they taste incredible. Let me walk you through the wonderful layers: on the bottom there is a flaky shortbread, followed by a salty caramel middle, topped with dark chocolate. Sprinkled with a bit of kosher salt. Anyone who loves salty/sweet should try these out, and I believe they cure PMS too.

The saucer is from Diana Fayt, and I bought a gorgous red-lined cup to match.

I also recently bought some new fabric from purl soho, although I'm not sure what it will become yet.

And I am still pursuing the perfect loaf of homemade bread:

This was not the perfect loaf, but it's getting there! Photo by R.
