I’ve been on a smoked salmon kick lately (it’s I’ve been on a smoked salmon kick lately (it’s so good for you), so when I saw that a local patisserie has a smoked salmon croissant available (weekends only), I added it to my list of things to seek out. I popped into @chocolatinenj early on Mother’s Day and was rewarded with this deliciousness. Layers of soft flaky croissant dough, tender smoked salmon, light whipped cream, thinly sliced red and green onion slivers and dotted with capers… it was every bit as amazing as you’d imagine it would be. If you’re local, don’t sleep on this one. 😋

Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd bir Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd birthday. Unfortunately she’s not here to celebrate because she died suddenly at age 49. I think of her often … every Mother’s Day because we spent most of them together since her husband worked weekends … when I discover a new food adventure (we once did a day long donut crawl) … when I’m sharing a special time with my kids knowing that her then-11 year old is growing up without her. Before she passed, I always appreciated every day, but since then, even more so. You never know what the next day can bring, so relish in the sunshine, surprise rainstorms, making wishes over railroad tracks and all the wonderful randomness life can throw your way. Don’t waste a single second, say yes, live on the outskirts of your comfort zone, laugh often, tell people you love them, give eight second hugs, and squeeze every ounce of joy you can out of life. Do it for the people who can’t. ✨

    Patsy – Summit. It opened yesterday. A really, really nice one, plenty of vendors, organic items, chicken pot pie, fresh mozzarella, fish, cupcakes!, way more than just fruits and vegs. 8am-1pm Sundays until 11/22 in the parking lot on the corner of Maple and DeForest.

    Cathy – so would I! Those were actually for sale at a farmer’s market we went to. Gorgeous, aren’t they?

    Joanne – thanks! Definite keepers. ;)

    Chris – hey stranger! The Neighbor Wife loves them too, so I brought her back one. She reported that they were delish! How’ve you been? Coming to Jersey any time soon?

    Debbie – aren’t those snowball cupcakes divine? I couldn’t resist, even at 2.50 a piece.

    Janet – if only it were that easy. ;) Like Emeril says, we need smell-a-vision. ;)

    Claire – it is! When I was loading the picture, I was thinking it had been awhile since she appeared here. Hard to believe she’s six already! As for Madeline, she was tired of me taking pictures, but she’s just so stinkin’ cute, just like her brother, except he wasn’t covered top to bottom in chocolate. ;)

    Noob – thanks – I try!
