On the Right Foot: Thanksgiving Desserts to Make Early, Fall Foliage in California, Why American Front Lawns Look the Same, & More!

October 9, 2023 by jessica Leave a Comment

I made this Bundt cake yesterday. It’s a riff on a glazed old fashioned donut. Bake on the lower end of the time range. Mine was done at the 40-minute mark.

After spending $13 on cardamom for the aforementioned cake, I looked up why it’s such an expensive spice.

Tory Burch’s fall event runs through the end of the day tomorrow. I used it as an excuse to dip into my “splurge” savings and add this bag to my collection.

It’s by design that most American front yards look the same.

The holiday season is fast approaching and while I know it feels early to be talking about Thanksgiving, here are some of my picks for entertaining essentials if you’d like to get a jump on planning.

Molly Baz’s new cookbook comes out tomorrow! I enjoyed reading this interview with her.

A reminder to try to be mindful of fast-fashion consumption. We’re all guilty of it, so let’s make sure the purchases we do make have some longevity and aren’t trend-inspired.

Admittedly, I’ve never considered California for a fall foliage getaway.

25 Thanksgiving desserts to make ahead and freeze.

I just bought this sweater in gray and I love it so much.

Enjoy your week!

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
