    Coffee

    Cinammon rolls incoming! I didn't finish my first coffee, but now it's the time for the 2nd. Today’s cinnamon rolls are made with cinnamon-infused bread — not just a spiced filling, but a delightfully fragrant bread all the way through. The lemon icing adds a gentle twist, bringing balance...

    What’s Your Biggest Garden Success (or Flop) This Year — and What Did You Learn?

    I will say this is so far the first year, I don't feel stress from gardening - as I didn't have tons of seedlings to take care of. In short, I dramatically simplified what I grow this year, no longer more than we can consume, and no longer many new varieties. I even got some young plants from...

    Joy in the Little Things

    It sounds like a very homy dish! For the Japanese toast I made, it just replaced the water in the recipe with milk.

    Your Weather, 2025

    We have a lot of sunny and dry days recently, and hopefully, rain from the coming two days can be a little bit heavier. Most of the rain barrels reduced to half, and the recycling water is still a substantial supply (fruit trees got them majorly, 10-20L each time).
