You are on to me by now… My love—nay, obsession—for all things sweet… is clear. I must after nearly any meal have something for my sweet tooth… sometimes just a bite (or three). Other times I will simply leave a fork on the fixation and grab a nibble as I walk by…. my own way of grazing and enjoying glory non-stop. A rustic peach galette is terribly gratifying for me. It may just be the home cook’s fantasy dessert. So much goodness to love… let’s do count the ways. First, peaches are one of nature’s most heavenly spoils. Summer’s finest make me wild… but I am known to use them year round in nearly any form. Let us not stop there… The dough, darlings… THE DOUGH… I do love a good homemade dough. Not that the grocery store’s pre-made doesn’t have its place (even my own mother admits to this now and again… and that is really saying something!). I personally feel affection for the homemade variety. Maybe I am old-fashioned… well, for sure I am. But I just feel the texture of my own homemade dough is tough to imitate amongst the grocers’ aisles. Do as you will… but this dough is a five minute whirl in the food processor… it will happily double and freeze well. You can certainly freely exchange fruits for this gem… and add spices where you will. A final note… homemade whipping cream with a touch of vanilla and a sprinkling of sugar… is the most celestial way to top this girl. (Works well on the peach galette, too.)

I love your home. I know you have said you built it. It looks like it has the character of an older home with all of the great details. I love your sink. I have wanted to put one in downstairs where my studio/workshop is. How do you like it? I used to work for a catering service and loved those sinks and have always wanted one.
