so long summer

neglect. yes, i am most certainly guilty of it. i may have a slew of excuses, but it pretty much boils down to the fact that i am now a full time student (with no income, might i poignantly add) and i way less frequently frequent the city that was the playground of our food excursions.

honestly, though, i seem to care much less about the food scene these days. i wonder.. what, about being a student, makes me crave the same exact foods i craved in undergrad. ugh, comfort food is like my new best.. frenemy. and what my poor brain doesn't seem to realize is that it's body isn't its youthful self any longer. good thing it's football season, for now. even right now i have on my desk a bag of half eaten banana chips, snack size nutter butters, a hostess cake and a yoohoo.

anyway, here's an ode to summer (from like two months ago): creme fraiche peace pie


yummy summer colors. summer's been fruitful but now it's pumpkin time!


this was so delicious that i made another whole pie a few hours later for james' mom. i sneak attacked the last slice without offering it to james.. he may have thrown a tiny fit about that. haha


this was my first time making creme fraiche from scratch. because, really, that stuff is darn hard to come by in the states.

not sure when, but i'll see you again :)
