Blueberry barley pancakes this morning after flower market, admittedly, as inspired by Bon Appetit's February cover. (*Also in Bon Appetit this month is a new column by Molly from Orangette, my favorite food blog. Pretty good stuff.


Purple fringed ranunculus. Like Whoa, I love these flowers...like so much I sort of hide them in the store so as not to sell them. Not great marketing I suppose...OK, you can have one.


Purple Star hyacinths from flower market this morning...unusual purple stem.

*Lastly, a few weeks ago, my mom scoffed at a purple sweater I picked out for her. "Don't you know that poem: When I am Old I Will Wear Purple?" I didn't but do now. I actually don't like it.
