baked potato frites

I've had food on the brain a lot, lately. Here's one of my easy favorites for your Sunday afternoon:



Baked Potato Frites

You will need:
- potatoes (I use russet, but these can easily be done with red potatoes, sweet potatoes, or any other variety, really)
- olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 450°F
2. Wash and slice potatoes into fry-sized pieces
3. Place unbaked frites on a cookie sheet. Douse with enough olive oil that the frites are coated. I like to arrange them in rows so that they're easy to flip later on.
4. Place the cookie sheet in the oven for approximately 12-15 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and flip the frites. (If you're having trouble with the frites sticking to the cookie sheet, try popping them in the oven for a few more minutes first).
6. Put the frites back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
7. Remove frites from oven, transfer them to a plate, and sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste.
8. Savor and/or devour accordingly.

I love this video by Branson Veal for Give Seattle - the song is "Not moving to Portland" by my favorite toothless Seattleite, John Roderick of The Long Winters.

and upcoming...



I cannot seem to keep my hands off my knitting needles lately, so I am knitting knitting knitting and will hopefully have some more things to share & sell in the coming weeks. Luckily, I have generous friends who know yarn makes a great Christmas gift so I have plenty of yarn waiting to turn into finished objects. I am getting back into pattern-writing and I have lots of ideas bouncing around in my head...

Jacques Dutronc was the most awkward dancer ever. And it's really, really amazing. I love it.

inspiration: erika long

I am currently loving this little yoyo flower hair pin made by Erika Long of Heartfelt Seattle. Simple and sweet, it works well by itself or you can pin it to a hat for a cute embellishment!

As soon as she gets her etsy shop up-and-running, I'll be sure to post a link!
