ghee
Have you ever tried to make ghee? Its basically a kind of clarified butter. You melt down butter, and take the milk solids out, so it makes a scoopable, super melty butter. A little bit like the butter in the tub, but better for you! We like to melt some in a skillet, and toast bread in it. Or make really toasty grilled cheeses.
We followed these directions here to make some. Try it and put it on some toast!
It does take a little while to make, so I usually catch up on some reading while its melting away.
things that caught my eye/ twenty one
1. Fun summer project- a travel picnic blanket. 2. I am a huge sucker for weddings in the wilderness. 3. Free pattern for some cute shorts. 4. Dingbat fonts are cool. 5. Backpack with places to go.
Our hopes for the weekend include pie, a hike, and maybe the play in the park. I also need to find something to make with sage. Our sage plant is out of control.
pizza night
We made this pizza the other evening. It was like we wished we had more leftovers, but we couldn’t be mad that we ate it all. We made this crust, and used this recipe as the base of our toppings inspiration. The crust edge was all me.
Do you like arugula on your pizza? We are all about it right now.
rocks and plants
I have a working theory that everything I plant half dies, then, in its own sweet time, comes back to life and decides to grow. I am sure the crazy weather doesn’t help. If you left me outside in this, I would have to carefully consider coming back to life too. But I am happy to see our rock garden is finally starting to fill in a little bit. I also added that cactus in the pot for another layer, and he is just as happy as a clam there.
brioche bread
One of our favorite dinners is bread and cheese. Now that we are planning a hypothetical backpacking trip, and going for daily runs to get in proper shape, its like we have to carb load to make it through the day.
I tried something new this week. Brioche, which is fancy, buttery bread. I used this recipe, but I ended up using almost 2 cups of flour. FYI just in case you want to try it! It made one perfect, golden loaf of bread.

things that caught my eye/ twenty
1. Such a pretty quilt. 2. Looks like something I could eat a lot of. 3. Not the coolest cooler, but still pretty cool. 4. Let’s watercolor paint pictures of our gardens this weekend. 5. Pretty diy leaf hair tie.
Its our first unplanned whole weekend at home in a while! We are going to clean off the grill and cook food with fire. Hope you have a relaxing one!
the basil of baker st hospital
For the sick and needy basil of today, so that they may become productive pesto of the future.
I transplanted these pitiful looking guys into the ground near our back porch. They were doing just fine in some box planters all spring, but all the sudden looked like they no longer wanted to live. So I stuck them in the ground, and told them to think again.
And this is just a couple days after.
So. There’s that.
something i did today
Today’s harvest. Does anyone else use their shirt as a veggie basket?
