The bike arrived! We took it for a spin and it was great. I definitely got some looks; its possible red pants, gold helmet and zigzag bike was a little too much flair.

Holy dang, but this was some good cobbler. Here’s what I love about cobbler — it’s forgiving and infinitely adjustable. I used Orangette’s amazing plume cobbler as a starting point and then futzed with the recipe because I only had canned peaches and frozen blueberries (don’t judge: fresh fruit is expensive and spoils before I can remember to eat it) and I’d run out of sugar and kosher salt. But this was still delicious to the point of ridiculousness (my point! cobbler is forgiving and easy!). The thing that is killer about this recipe is the ground ginger. Molly also adds crystallized ginger, which I bet is amazing. I have to say I was proud of myself for having had ground ginger in the house, let alone having crystallized ginger, but I digress.

Milk + Bookies is a nonprofit organization that provides books to children who don’t normally have access to them. What could be better than that? Alex has just reached the age where he can enjoy story books– as a life long book-a-holic, my heart has been singing every time we cuddle up with a book (Mike Mulligan and Scuppers the Sailor Dog are two current favorites). However, Hippos Go Berserk is probably our all time favorite book and my favorite gift to new parents.
You can make a donation here and learn more about the organization here.
Many thanks to Melisa from the Lil Bee for letting me know about this great organization and for organizing Milk + Bookies day!

I just realized that a huge number of comments were getting stuck in my spam folder (which I haven’t checked in years). I went and fished out 22 comments from the last three weeks, but my spam filter auto deletes after that. I’ll be checking my spam folder more diligently and my apologies to those of you who left comments that never showed up on the site. PS I love your comments, they are like little biscuits waiting for me in my inbox. So, thanks!

Leigh turned me on to the Taste Nirvana brand of coconut water. It is simply delicious and makes every other brand taste like something tinny and canned.

Loving these simple cooking videos. My pet peeve is web video that is too long — these are perfection. From new to me Elephantine

I blogged about this amazing love list from Eero Saarinen to his wife over on the MAD Blog. I want to make a love list for my husband and Alex, right now!

A friend is working for Morgan Spurlock’s (Super Size Me, 30 Days, etc.) production company. They are casting a new documentary series about New Yorkers who want to change their lives and pursue long held dreams (start a bakery, go back to school, adopt a baby). They are looking for real New Yorkers rather than actors just wanting exposure. Could you be one of them? More information here. Deadline to apply is Sept. 9th so get crackin’!

The Good Guys, 1966. A brooch made by J. Fred Woell using found objects (staples, cartoon figures), walnut, steel, copper, plastic, silver, and gold leaf at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.
I’m so pleased to say that I’ve been blogging for the last couple of weeks over at the Museum of Arts and Design. I’m writing about a particular show, Crafting Modernism, which is all about the origins of the Studio Craft Movement. Curators Jeannine Falino and Jennifer Scanlan are looking at the connections between craft and the design world, through, among others, the work of textile designer Dorothy Liebes, furniture maker George Nakashima, silversmith Jack Prip, sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi. It’s going to be an amazing exhibition when it opens October 12.
My favorite post so far is this one on the jeweler Fred Woell. I hope you’ll head over to the MADBlog and read all about it.
