I can’t believe it’s been a year since loveysoven began. Some months were more productive than others, but overall I enjoyed myself, and I hope you had a good time, too. Looking back, I can definitely say I learned quite a bit in 2010. Read the rest of this entry ?

strangers in the night…
December 16, 2010
Hey there Oven, remember me? Yeah, I kind of don’t either. As you may have noticed (or not, depending on how much of your life is focused on my tiny little blog), I haven’t been around much lately. I’ve been working A LOT and as a result not a lot of other things are getting done. No theme for November or December. My baking list has been slashed a couple of times. Still squeezing in a few tasty treats here and there, but not nearly what I had planned (and shopped!) for. I’ve got a stack of tins sitting empty on the buffet, instead of being filled and flying around the country in a mail sack. Read the rest of this entry ?
October – maple & apples
October 4, 2010Ok, the September thing was a horrific crash and burn, sorry. Life dealt us quite a handful on several fronts, and it was all we could do to take a deep breath and keep moving to the end of the month. The recipes that didn’t get made won’t be forgotten, I’ll work on incorporating them into future months.
But October! Oh, October! It’s autumn in New England, such a spectacular time! The air is cooling down, the leaves are starting to turn, and everywhere you look there’s an amazing bounty of glorious fall produce. We’ve been spoiled by our local orchard, and now eat apples like maniacs for a couple of months, and then not so much the rest of the year. That plus a day trip to Vermont led to an obvious conclusion for October’s theme. Well, obvious, but we each had a different idea. I thought it would be apples, no questions asked. Mrslovey was equally adamant about maple. Even though I tried to deter her by pointing out that maple is technically a spring crop, I decided to compromise since she does all my dishes.
So I give you, glorious October, recipes that feature apples, or maple, or a combination of the two. And seeing as I have forty pounds of apples in my garage and a full gallon of grade B syrup in the pantry, I’m hoping like hell to generate a respectable number of posts for this month.
September – month of miscellany
September 2, 2010The last couple months have been crazy, and as a result I feel that I haven’t been posting enough. September will be all about getting stuff baked and posted, without the limitations of a specific theme. I’ve still got a couple of requests that I’m working on, as well as a bunch of ideas in my head. The idea is to kickstart loveysoven back into gear as we get ready for autumn. So keep an eye out, and hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot of each other this month!
vacation all I ever wanted…
July 30, 2010Well, I have to say I’m rather disappointed with my output for July. Between the heat wave (that just ended yesterday, swear) and several weeks of being sicker than I thought I was, reader request month was slow. Really slow. And now, we’re heading out the door at an obnoxious hour tomorrow morning for the best vacation of the year. So with that, I’ve decided to carry reader request over into August. I’ll finish up the requests that are outstanding now, and of course you’re always free to send more in.
Catch you in a couple of weeks!
