Currently.

Currently baking: a persimmon cream pie with a graham cracker gingersnap crust.

Currently wishing: I could stay in my pajamas all day. And that I had an ice cream maker to enable me to make this.

Currently hoping: I'm not getting this sicky bug floating around.

Currently curing: an herbal apple cider vinegar with basil and mint.
Currently loving and devouring: this persian rose petal cardamom tea concoction.

And streaming the new Iron & Wine, Kiss Each Other Clean.

Currently waiting on: a few pairs (5) of these glasses to arrive in the mail to try on (for free!)


This company rocks. All frames are no more than $95, free shipping, lenses included, and they give a pair to someone in need whenever a pair is purchased (similar to the Tom's thing...). I'm sold.

Currently intrigued by: these goat milk caramels. Flavors like vanilla bean, coconut & lime, honey, and chocolate sea salt. Genius.

Currently reading: these inspiring words. Daily.

Currently craving: these gluten-free cherry walnut oatmeal cookies.

Currently inspired: by this Food Swap! Another reason why Portland is genius. I want in on this next time... more of the inside scoop here.

Currently digging: these nesting, feather, and musician calendars by the Wild Unknown.

Currently enjoying: my new Keep Calm posters. Unfortunately it seems I somehow skipped the "floss on" and "curry on" posters... too bad, I'll have to make another order.

Currently curious about: Root, an organic Pennsylvanian made spirit consisting of some wonderfully-sounding herbs and spices--birch bark, smoked black tea, sugarcane, sassafras, orange & lemon peel, allspice, anise, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. Holy moly.
A few recipes that caught my eye: autumn leaves (the name in itself, obviously), making caramels, raisin creme brulee, willow (one of my favorite names ever), mango lassi (!), ginger root sling, etc. I just might have to get me some of this.

More later.

Kylie,

So nice to find your blog! Glad to hear that the Food Swap piqued your interest ~ you are more than welcome to get in on the action for the next one! We're plotting away...most likely and April date will be announced.

Cheers~
Bethany

Lovely post! I tried (and heard of) Root for the first time a few weeks ago and fell madly in love.
