A few weeks back, on a very cold morning, I took a walk around a farm.  I love all the different roof lines, colors and dappled light.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Dropping in to share a few photos that have been keeping me busy lately.

Also,

I have a feature in the second volume of Kinfolk Magazine. Go check out their new website and pick up a copy.

A holiday decoration guide I photographed for Kinfolk is up on their blog. (Styling for those photos by the creative genius, Adelaide Brown.)

Hope your winter is off to a great start and that you take time to enjoy this holiday season.

See you in 2012 with lots of new things.

We all made marshmallows the other night. Quite simple and really awesome.

We put them in white hot chocolate with a bit of cinnamon and cayenne pepper and dusted the top with dark cocoa powder and confection sugar.

They’d be just as good in a cup of coffee.

Try it.

It was good.

Every year about this time, we head out to our favorite apple orchard.
We pick just before the sun goes down.
Weaving in and out between the trees.
Tasting as we go.

……….

Yes, I know. Im really late to the Nutella party. I don’t care. Im gonna pretend it just hit the shelves.
Im gonna eat it on any piece of toasted bread I can get my hands on. Any piece of fruit I can slice up.
Im gonna eat it on raisin bread with toasted almonds and a sprinkle of sea salt. Hell, Im gonna eat it straight out of the jar on a spoon.

Its like chocolate frosting, but better. I keep telling myself its gotta be healthy. Could you not frost a cake with this stuff? I wouldn’t know the difference if ya did.

I owe this new addiction to my good friend, Suzanne. She has sketched/blogged about this stuff for years, but I’ve never tried it. The other night she gave me a fresh jar of the stuff and since then I’ve smeared it on whatever I’ve eaten for breakfast.

Im hooked eating it on toast with a bit of salt, but would love to know other ways to enjoy the hazelnut-chocolate spread. So, how do you eat your Nutella?
