Cousins Night Out

I’m an only child, but my two cousins, Rosie and Lizzie, are the sisters I never had. We don’t get to hang out very often, but when we do, it’s always memorable.

In August, we took advantage of The Mermaid Inn’s happy hour menu. We had like five dozen oysters; it was ridiculous but oh so yummy.

In September, we visited the JACX&CO Food Hall in Long Island City and got amazing food from Sushi Nikko and Mexology.

We are looking to have at least three more outings this year!

Baking with Maxi

I can’t believe summer has come and gone, and I can’t believe it is the last day of September.

Now that it is holiday season, I have a lot of baking in my future. It’s a good thing I’ve been incorporating some baking time with Maxine already.

In August, we made some yummy cupcakes.

We have yet to make them from scratch, but Maxine loves baking cookies. We made a few batches in September.

Putting it out to the universe this fall, I’m hoping to make an apple pie or tart, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and madeleines.
