Monday bouquet.


You want brownies? Or do you want the very best brownies, from the indefatigable Dorie Greenspan, via Recipe Girl. My recommendation: add pistachios, leave off the white chocolate glaze (tips them over the top into too-sweet), bake about 20 minutes -- until puffed around the edges, but still gooey at the center -- and then refrigerate. Also delicious with a sprinkling of fleur de sel!

I just purchased my first bag of Stumptown Coffee beans after a visit to their awesome NYC location in the Ace hotel. Long line, completely worth it. They're the best latte in town, hands-down. The bags for their beans are so smartly-designed, it makes me sad for all those other bags of coffee beans out there. You can take the tag out that tells you about the origin of your beans tasting notes and keep it even after the bag is done. Nice work, Stumptown!


If drinking Stumptown's not enough for you, one of my favorite chocolate purveyors, Mast Brothers, just teamed up with Stumptown for a coffee bean and dark chocolate bar, available at the Ace location. It's ridiculously good.


And because all of today's things are food-related, here's one that's not: incredible, non-shiny, non-goopy, wonderful lip balm by Weleda you don't have to be afraid to ingest. Apply by the spoonful, fearlessly.
