1889. questions

is it cake or pie?

who cares, it’s gluten free

and totally yum!

 

Here’s an Almond Cake recipe that’s baked in a pie pan. Does that make it a cake or a pie?! Hmmm. Here comes another question: To wheat or not to wheat? For some, that is the real question!😆 Any other questions, send me a  message.👩‍🍳 

1888. by the sea

by the sea

sunny flowers on the dune

tightening my scarf

While in Cape May last weekend for their annual Christmas parade, I saw these goldenrod flowers blooming by the dunes. Even though the day was windy and freezing cold, their bright sunny summer colors warmed me up, but only a little.😉 By the way, it was also surprising to see rose bushes still blooming in so many gardens. . .must be the clean ocean atmosphere with its naturally salty, humid conditions.

shoving my hands deeper

 

It always amazes me how ducks stay warm and dry in water, on water, under water! These ducks were in the Wissahican Creek. In Cape May recently, Dan and I saw a duck deep-sea diving. We watched it float along on top of the ocean, then disappear down under waves briefly before popping up again 15 or 20 yards away. Again and again we watched this routine until it floated way, way off beyond the sea. Far out.
