/ Cake confession: I most look forward to weddings for cake. Does that make me a bad person? Probably, but it’s true.

Cinnamon Orange Raisin Bread
/ And the winner of a second spin on Avi Pie, Twinkle stars and lights please… Cinnamon Orange Raisin Bread With the most makes and picture retakes, I had to revisit the depths of this bread’s beauty.
Let’s Roast Garlic Balsamic Brussel Sprouts!
/ Brussel oh lovely little sprout. Cut into halves, quarters and save those precious fallen leaves for extra crisp bites.

A seed, a feeling. Walking to school, stealing a stare. Sitting together, sharing a sandwich. You and me, me and you. Hand in hand to class, passing notes, a kiss on the cheek. Hearts race, pure love. Faint whispers. Too young to understand, I see no difference between you and me.

Sublime Veggie Sandwich
** This post is brought to you by one starving girl, mid sandwich making, courtesy of a camera phone. A vegetarian sandwich. Simple: two pieces of bread, mayo/mustard/veggie haul — not so fast. Bread, vegetable width, assembly and order matter. A well made sandwich = art. Here’s to you soft, crunchy, mildly sweet, spiced with gush…

Dave: Hey Jen. Wanna trade lunches? Jen: No way man. I got each of the four food groups [pop my lunchbox: sandwich, milk, banana and a piece of zucchini bread] Sandwich group, cow group, jungle group, zucchini bread group.
