Saffron and Honey

Eat Chic

October 29, 2012

Postcard from the storm

20121029-173808.jpg

The storm is just about barreling down on NY, and I hope all of you in the wider region are staying safe.

Maybe we will have a pantry raid post in the new few days but for now, I am prepared with a gas stove, lots of matches, soup, a roast chicken, and lots of kimchi (strange but real essentials).

I was lucky enough to be able to make it to a lovely celebration in Boston yesterday where we had the most gorgeous cake. Filled with buttercream and fresh strawberries and decorated with delicately sparkling roses.

Wedding showers and tea parties are a great combination!

    I do hope you have come through the storm without any problems. After watching hours of CNN I almost cannot imagine anyone anywhere near the region who hasn’t been affected, if not by power outages, transportation troubles! You’ll have to let us know how things are for you. But your attitude is great…cake! And beautiful cake! πŸ™‚

      Thank you, C! It’s still pretty bad here, but our damages are mainly fixable, thankfully. X
