I’m almost out of peaches and a cobbler seemed like the way to end the season. I used @georgiadunnbcn.bsky.social’s recipe for biscuits (sweet version) for the topping. Obviously I’m a biscuit cobbler gal, what about you? Cake? Pie crust? Or are you team crisp or crumble? Anyone a sonker fan?
A cast-iron skillet fresh out of the oven sits on a stove top. It contains peach cobbler — the kind topped with biscuits, not cake batter or pie crust. The peaches are juicy and the biscuits are golden- brown. You wish you could have some.

The last in my trifecta of peaches & cream dishes: peach-basil ice cream, here served over a sautéed peach half. For my fellow @morbidcuriositypod.bsky.social fans, I give you — The Mary Mallon special.

Continuing on my theme: peaches and cream pie.

soon as I saw the recipe for Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich from @vaughnvreeland.bsky.social at @nytimes.com I had to make it. The mint garnish is from my garden. The peach tea soak (I used my favorite peach oolong) and the lemon zest in the cake made it 👩‍🍳💋
Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich — two rounds of cake with  mascarpone-whipped cream and peach compote between the layers and on top. It sits on a white cake stand and is garnished with mint leaves. Peaches and Cream Victoria Sandwich from the previous photo with several slices cut out so you can see the filling.

Nothing can ruin a stripteaser’s day faster than a closure which opens too soon...or won’t open at all. I’m teaching an on-line class this Tuesday 7/21 all about costume closures and how to pick the best ones to make your removes look their best! events.humanitix.com/achieving-cl...

Working out at home has unexpected challenges. During the @thebarmethod.bsky.social livestream this morning, Bartholomew claimed my mini-mat.
A large black cat reclines regally on a small black exercise mat, which is branded “The Bar Method”. The carpet is also black. Is there any color in this woman’s life?

I wanted to bring a treat for backstage at our show on Saturday, so I summoned Craisin Dreams from The NecroMunchicon. They were universally well received — not too sweet and extremely lemony. They almost all vanished. I hope everyone had pleasant dreams…
A vaguely skull shaped piece of cake, studded with dried cranberries sits on a plate in front of The NecroMunchicon, which is open to the illustration of Craisin Dreams.

How did they capture my cats’ personalities so well?
Two political-style buttons with red, white, and blue ombré backgrounds. 

The button on the left shows a cartoon of a black cat sitting on his hind legs on a surface while knocking a crowned orange off. The caption says “Nope!”

The other show a cartoon white cat lying on his back, front paws tucked into his chest, kicking away a crowned orange with his hind paw. The caption says “No!”
