I'm Bailey, a small girl from a small town. I lived a year in Kyoto and I graduated from college in Chicago in June 2010. I lived in Boston for two years but it was a wash. I'm rebuilding from the ground up. I am intent on adventures. I like beautiful things, funny things, photography, Japan, and emoticaps. (I am a vegan in progress and sometimes it happens in public. I yell most frequently about religion, racism, "women's issues," feelings, and dresses.) My friends call me Etsuko. You write it like 悦子 and it is a very good name.
小さな町からの小さな女子ベイリー(悦子とも呼ばれてます、よく合った名前っす)です。一年間京都に住み、２０１０年６月にシカゴ大学から卒業しました。二年弱ボストンに住みましたが結局無駄でしたのでこれから完全なやり直し中。日常生活にも小さい冒険があると信じて過ごしています。趣味は美しいもの、おかしいもの、撮影、日本、とemoticaps。（只今ビーガン工事中でたまにその進歩も公にされます。頻繁に出て来る課題：宗教、人種主義、「女性問題」、感情、ワンピース。）どうぞ宜しくお願い致します♪
Leaf shaped black sesame cookies with matcha tea icing | Just Hungry
I have all the ingredients for these, besides matcha powder, on hand (also ps I don’t like matcha). These are going to be my treat for myself on Sunday evening, if all of my homework is done. Responsible studentship, here I come.
In my oven. Right now. Blueberries, not cranberries.
but I won’t!
except to note that there may be nothing on the planet that frightens me in the same way as a loved one or myself on an airplane. It’s a sort of fear that lurches. And leaves deep, slimy footprints. A lumbering swamp monster of a fear.
in other news, someone in my building is taunting my Lenten observances (not really) by baking chocolate chip cookies
AND I’m blocking my computer from accessing tumblr until further notice (like, Friday). Um. Because I have to.
Love,
Bailey

Yeast bread is fun.
Also, the rosemary-cheese-potato quickbread is DELICIOUS, but don’t cook the potatoes with salt or it’s too salty, and also turn the oven way down and let it bake longer. Or else make it flat. Making it roundish gives you a perfect outsize and a raw inside. Also ignore the gruyere and just use a little extra Parmesan.
Also, are British teaspoons and American teaspoons very different from each other (like, times two maybe)?
Bake it for about twice as long; you may need a foil tent towards the end.
Do not, as I did because I couldn’t find the vanilla, use almond extract. Or if you do, half it at least.
Into the oven with you, my puffy little bread potato-lemons.
