Never mind these icicles I passed while walking to work and the snowiest February in Boston history. Spring arrives March 20 and I’m beyond ready! In the meantime, I’ve been reading recipes for inspiration – and looking at the monthly IMK posts hosted by Celia at figjamandlimecordial.
I found a new trove of my grandmother’s hand-written recipes, tucked into a Royal Baking Powder cookbook. Gelatine salads, here I come!
But I started with her version of cinnamon and clove-spiced applesauce bread.
I also plan to make a few 1960s recipes to prepare for Mad Men’s final season, which begins April 5.
In the meantime, I’m picking fresh rosemary that I grow on my windowsill and putting it into everything I can think of, including martinis. Anything for a little green! I’ll be watching for the crocuses to poke up from the snow.

ooh a Mad Men cookbook! I’m half way through season 2 on Netflix and really enjoying it (besides the rampant sexism of course)

Look for a recipe from Mad Men soon. I’m still trying to choose. I’m glad I wasn’t one of the office “girls” back then!

Crikey, that icicle is scary huge! Love rosemary, ours lives out in the back garden, gets a bit unruly at times!

Glad you’re a rosemary fan, too. Nothing would survive outdoors this winter – though perhaps our sage plant will regrow once the snow melts.

my rosemary bush is dying off at the moment. it must be over 20 years old. i think the endless hot summer we have had (still having) must have done it in. love the icicle! wow. not something we see here in brisbane!
