Our babiest baby is one. It's been an eventful year, but the singular joy of it has been watching our littlest sweetheart grow, and having our house packed to the gills with the happy chaos of not one, not two, but three baby monkeys constantly up to shenanigans. Fiona keeps up with the best of them, and thinks her bigs are the absolute bee's ...

life lately
Hello! It's been awhile, hasn't it? I thought I'd just pop in to say a quick hello and share a few snippets from life lately, even if I don't have a new recipe to share. First, the big news—we are, in fact, expecting another baby bowl. It's going to be another little girl! This pregnancy has been rougher than the previous two combined, but I'm ...
clara’s 100 days
It's been 100 days with my Clara girl! (Well, more like 115.) Like we did with Luke, we celebrated Clara's 100 days with her baptism and a teeny tiny baek-il with family. We had red bean ...
baby bowl: round 2!
Hi from Clara Young! Just like that, it's already been a month--four weeks of vanilla-scented newborn cuddles, milk drunk faces, swaddle blankets and Lilliputian diapers. Like her brother, she came into the world with a head full of hair, a button nose, and powdery soft cheeks. She has perfect little oval fingernails (on spidery long fingers, my ...
2018
Can it really be 2019 already? We've spent our last week of 2018 on the couch or in the kitchen (or scattering toy trucks from one end of the house to the other, one guess as to who is doing what), thoroughly unwinding and nonstop eating and generally super enjoying ourselves, and I hope you have been too. ...
a thanksgiving round-up and some news
It's a baby musubi--for a baby musubi! Now that A Common Table has been out in the world for almost a month (phew), I can finally tell you all about this little secret we've been holding onto. B4 is on the way! This time, we're having a little girl--and we could not be more excited. Or bewildered. How does one raise these "little ...
a common table cover and preorders!
It's real! Two years of reminiscing about favorite family recipes, making messes in the kitchen, running around during naptimes, washing (and washing, and washing) dishes, and a little bit of manic refreshing of online book listings, and A Common ...
more bits and bats
Today is the very last day of B2's trip to Korea! For the last week, B2 has been taking depositions in Seoul and we odd-numbered bowls have been fending for ourselves in a papa-less wilderness. For me this has meant subsisting solely on the weird-but-maybe-balanced diet of roasted Brassicas (of which B2 is not fond), ramen, and gigantic ...
halloweens and first birthdays!
summertime bits and bats
Hi friends! Are you having wonderful summers? Here are just a few odds and ends from ours -- it's mostly been a sunny mix of visits from friends, recipe testing and manuscript scribbling, baby cuddles, and the occasional baked treat. I have also rediscovered the glory of regular old ice cream sandwiches, that kind with all the hubbub about not ...
