Favorite Places: Harney and Sons

Published on February 19, 2009 By Emily. Updated on February 19, 2009

Disclaimer: Tea is one of my most favorite things in the world.  Even if that’s not true for you, you should still read this post. It’s somewhat unlikely that you’d ever find yourself randomly in Millerton, NY.  However, if you ever find yourself anywhere near Millerton, NY (like, in any state between New Jersey and…

Stay Cool at Ayelada Frozen Yogurt in Pittsfield

Published on August 6, 2017 By Emily. Updated on August 6, 2017

Ayelada is one of those places that I wanted to get to for a long time, but for whatever reason couldn’t quite manage.  It’s not as though we’re not in Pittsfield regularly.  It’s not as though the restaurant is in an area that’s difficult to get to.  Ayelada had definitely received high praise from many…

Happy 7th Birthday, Relishments! {Giveaway}

Published on December 26, 2015 By Emily. Updated on December 25, 2015

As is the case every year, the days after Christmas transport me to a Christmas break that seems like it was lifetimes ago; sitting on the couch in my parents’ house in Maine, 6 months away from my wedding.  It was then, largely as a function of my boredom, that I started Relishments. When I…

HarneyFest: Tea, a Tour and More

Published on August 19, 2014 By Emily. Updated on August 19, 2014

On Saturday, Brian and I headed to an event I’d had on my calendar for months: HarneyFest at the Harney and Sons Tea facilities in Millerton, NY.  I’d seen it announced and, given my love for Harney and Sons Tea (which I wrote about here and here and here), I knew I had to be…

Twosday XI – Holiday Season Edition

Thanksgiving traditions I was fortunate to enjoy this year 1.  Watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with my family.  It’s not a tradition in Brian’s family for good reasons, but it’s such an integral part of my holiday.  When I asked my sister weeks prior Thanksgiving what she wanted to do over our long weekend…

The 2013 Relishments Kitchen Gift Guide

Published on December 2, 2013 By Emily. Updated on December 2, 2013

It’s December 2 and I already feel like I’m behind on my holiday plans.  For the record, I do not approve of Thanksgiving being so late in November.  I just feel like there needs to be some time in between for regrouping and looking ahead.  Instead I feel thrown into the holiday season and, as…

Coffee and Tea in Millerton, NY

Published on February 21, 2013 By Emily. Updated on February 21, 2013

Even when we’re intentionally not taking a vacation somewhere, I hate staying home during school breaks.  Since we were running low on tea and felt like enjoying the atmosphere of a small town, Brian and I headed to Millerton, NY on Tuesday. We’d done lunch at Harney and Son’s a couple times in the past…

The Berkshires

Longer Day Trips

In 2009, I moved from the coast of Maine to the mountains of western Massachusetts.  Prior to my relocation, I knew nothing about the Berkshires, short of what I’d gleaned from a few visits to see my fiance (now husband) in the two years he lived there before we married.  Luckily, I’ve discovered that the…

Highlights: Tea

Published on December 5, 2010 By Emily. Updated on December 5, 2010

I’ve always been a tea drinker.  I can’t remember a time when I didn’t drink tea. Growing up, my best friend and I frequently had tea parties.  In college, my hot pot was constantly heating water and tea kept me warm and awake. I used to drink coffee occasionally too, but I realized this summer…

We picked about 9 pounds of strawberries and I'm looking forward to eating them! 🍓

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.
UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
