What’s in a name? That which we call a BLA KORNBLOMST by any other name would smell as sweet. 🌹 Here we have Blue Cornflower (Bla Kornblomst!), a soft, creamy, delicious Danish blue with a name reminiscent of the rural countryside, a virgin milkmaid churning butter, a wicker basket full of wildflowers, cowbells echoing in distant pastures. Stop and smell the Bla Kornblomsts @thewineandcheesecask! #blåkornblomst
I’ve been to @snappykitchensomerville twice now since moving here and ordered the exact same thing both times- Tan Tan ramen (ground pork, garlic miso, black garlic oil, chili oil, magic, love, the secret to happiness, the meaning of life, plus a soft-boiled egg). As a qualified and credentialed soup doctor, I prescribe this soup for all your rainy day woes today and every day. 🍜
Happy last day of winter! I’m celebrating by bringing this account out of hibernation! 🎉😛🍾 I’m looking forward to once again oversharing my thoughts and feelings about food with the infinite abyss of the internet! To get the meatball rolling, I’m excited to announce that I’ve applied to and was accepted into Boston University’s MLA in Gastronomy program and will be starting in the fall! I personally didn’t think it was possible to be more of a food nerd but here we are, gearing up to spend the next 2-3 years studying the history, culture, economics, and politics of food, farming, cooking, eating, and drinking! Stay tuned friends!

Homemade ricotta gnocchi, a recipe I learned in Italy this summer which sustained me spiritually and calorically through the winter. This recipe is so simple and fast and filling and cheesy and delicious and has therefore become my go-to party trick.
Thankful for family, my smelly old dog, my cat who picks up her food and eats it out of her paw like a tiny human, a job that makes happy people and happy plants, a wood stove and a warm home on the coldest Thanksgiving on record in the Northeast, food that is inextricably linked to happy memories, the snow outside that appears tinted blue, the fact that I'm growing more and more sentimental as I grow older, and my little brother who would rather be watching Gordon Ramsay videos than taking this picture of me. Cider from @redapplefarm with mulling spices from @solunagardenfarm, mug handmade by my talented brother @branden.sy! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃🍎😋❤️
