The Month in Review - April 2013

I'm used to seeing an absolute riot of flowers and blooming trees in April but this year New York was pretty dry and much too cold.  I don't remember ever waiting this long and this longingly for spring to arrive.  But now that April is over, we're at last being treated to tulips and cherry blossoms.  We've started to spend more Sundays in the park and are beginning to think less about soup and more about salads and sweet fruit.

The Month in Review  -  April 2013


We did do quite a bit of cooking and cocktail mixing this month. We played with some fun new OXO tools, mixed it up with the bundt bakers, celebrated our furry sous chef's birthday and took some friends out for an amazing dinner in Central Park. We've also booked our summer vacation (so excited!) and are starting to think about the grilling and chilling that will begin next month. But, before we get too excited about the future, let's take a quick look back at the past month. As always, click on the links below the photos to get the recipes. Enjoy!

  2. A lovely review! And yes, April was harsh for us too. I'm hoping that this next month will be warmer (although we have snow on the ground and it's May 2nd. Oh well! Thank you for sharing!
