Blackberry Granita with Whipped Cream
Written by joythebaker on December 27, 2009 – 5:05 pm -
Let me lay out some facts for you:
My bed has an electric blanket on it this winter. My fears of spontaneous combustion are usurped by my complete inability to actually get out of my warm bed.
Yes… I’m totally writing this from bed. Try and stop me. This cozy just won’t quit.
I have exactly zero interest in turning on my oven for the next week… mostly because my oven isn’t in arms length of my bed. I really don’t want to get out of bed.
Yes… I’m talking a lot about my bed right now. Maybe I’m obsessed. Maybe this is unhealthy.
But! There is one reason I’m getting out of bed tomorrow. Vacation. Holy hell! I’m going on vacation! I’m going to a gorgeous spa/ bed and breakfast situation in San Luis Obispo… all by myself. There’s a bathtub. Not just any bathtub… but a soaking tub… next to a fireplace. Oh. My. God. I only plan on leaving that soaking tub in an extreme prune state.
If you’re in San Luis Obispo and you think you can lure me out of my soaking tub… we should totally have lunch!
Before all the soaking begins… here’s a deep purple Blackberry Granita. I suggest eating in in bed, under the covers, while watching your third Netflix romantic comedy. Don’t worry. No judgements. This granita just tastes better that way.

Apple Pie Granita

I like you. I like you a lot. I mean it… and I don’t think I’ve told you in a while. Sweet. I’m glad you’re here.
Would now be a good time to tell you that I have a serious, though not lasting, aversion to my kitchen these days? I have an even more serious aversion to my oven. For reals.
It’s just that… well, it’s summer! There seems to be so many museums to visit, brunches to have, friends to laugh with, wine to drink… and somehow none of this fun takes place in my kitchen.
Amazingly, and through the miracle that is my freezer, I’ve managed to throw together a lovely and waaaay super easy summer recipe. It’s apple pie meets snow cone, minus the cone, plus a hint of awesome.

The One Year Rewind
Written by joythebaker on June 29, 2009 – 7:49 pm -
Exactly one year ago I was rockin’ out with a mug of this stuff. I was also saying things like “totally tubular!” and “radical!”, wearing acid wash jeans, and hair-spraying my bangs into a tall wave across my forehead. Ooooh 2008.
Banana Pudding Ice Cream. Rad, right?
