It turns out...

I like hosting, baking, and cooking, in that order. Over the past 5 days, I cooked for Gregg's birthday, baked scones, and, this morning, made the MOST amazing oatmeal buttermilk pancakes ever...EVER. I've been obsessed with Orangette lately and Molly Wizenberg (the creator's) book A Homemade Life and am now attempting to be her by cooking everything she does. Am I lame? Maybe a little creepy? It's fine. Props to Bonnie for the best cake recipe ever. I only had one meltdown baking that when two of my mixers broke and I sat on the kitchen floor cradling them. Thank God for the immersion blender and it's whisk attachment. FYI, I think I've consumed 6 sticks of butter this week. In semi-related (it is his birthday week)news, Gregg signed his first BROADWAY contract!!! We're famous at The Artists' Colony, did I mention that's what we call ourselves here? Okay, here's some pictures from the week.

Love love love. See more party photos at my flickr page.
