It's #nationalbookloversday - and if you're a love

It's #nationalbookloversday - and if you're a lover of both books and awesome comfort food (both savory and sweet), may I humbly recommend these two books for your library?
📚
I do have some copies on hand that can be personally signed - link in bio to my books page online, where you can buy either/both in any way you desire!

When you're done shooting a cocktail and your husb

When you're done shooting a cocktail and your husband reaches over to take a big sip of it and you have to shout, "Wait, no, it's warm! Those are fake ice cubes!"
🧊
And then you decant it into a boring glass with the crappy half-moon cubes from the ice maker. Food stylist life!
🍹
This drink, by the way, is the Friday Afternoon Downtime cocktail and it's a super easy gin, passionfruit, and lemon bubbler. Link in bio!

On top of everything, I don't think I'm getting my seasonal quota of ice cream this summer. This is unacceptable! 🍨

If you've ever visited Rockefeller Center in New Y

If you've ever visited Rockefeller Center in New York City, you've noticed all the flags that encircle the famous rink in the, uh, center of the Center. WELL! From now through August 16, my design is flying on one of those flags!
🚩
It's part of The Flag Project, a celebration of what we all love about New York City. My artwork, featuring classic NYC foods, was chosen as part of the art installation along with 191 other designs.
🎨
If you happen to be in New York, please go safely check it out with your mask on! - CB

Happy National Lighthouse Day! 🌊 Point Reyes Li

Happy National Lighthouse Day!
🌊
Point Reyes Lighthouse, within Point Reyes National Seashore north of San Francisco, sits on a rocky perch overlooking the Pacific and the Gulf of the Farallones. When we visited in September 2015, we drove two hours through Marin County from the mouth of the Golden Gate -- first after calling to confirm that Point Reyes Peninsula wasn't fogged in. That can take away some of the impact of this site.
🌫️
Reaching the lighthouse requires a (literally) breezy if vertiginous descent down 308 steps and a ramp to the squat 37-foot tower -- but the headlands rise some 250 feet from the water, giving a natural boost to the reach of the beam. Assigned in 1855, construction was delayed by a squabble over the price of the land and the light wasn't lit until 1870, then automated in 1975.
💡
It's well worth the visit, even if the payoff comes before the toil. Remember those 308 steps coming down? You've got to climb up them to get back to your car. - DC

Happy birthday to Andy Warhol, my favorite artist!

Happy birthday to Andy Warhol, my favorite artist! If I had planned better, I would have toasted you with a Champagne cocktail - maybe next year. 🍾 -CB

I'm rewatching all the Harry Potter movies before

I'm rewatching all the Harry Potter movies before they leave HBO Max and even though I know the story is set in Britain, the scenery along the route of the Hogwarts Express always reminds me of Wild Goose Island and St. Mary's Lake in Glacier.
✨
I mean, it *is * a pretty magical place! -CB

When we travel - which we're not doing now - we enjoy visiting old, abandoned places and ghost towns. Here at home, we often pass the local high school on our walks, and it occurred to me recently that the school feels like an abandoned place, devoid of its usual bustle and frozen at the point everyone was told to stay home. -DC
