RECIPE: Blueberry Boy Bait (Smitten Kitchen)
My sister made this recipe from Smitten Kitchen this week and says its as good as it looks! See the ingredients and link to full recipe below the pic. Happy Desserting!
Ingredients
Serves 12, generously
2 cups plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt
16 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk (though buttermilk, which was all I had on hand, worked just great)
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (if frozen, do not defrost first as it tends to muddle in the batter)
Topping
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (do not defrost)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

The High Line in NYC opens to the public on Sun. July 12
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated, steel structure built in the 1930s to carry freight trains. It currently runs from Gansevoort Street, in the Meatpacking District, through the West Chelsea gallery neighborhood, ending at 34th Street, next to the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The last train ran on it in 1980.
The High Line will soon be opened to the public. To celebrate this, Target has joined with Friends of the High Line for a Street Festival this Sunday, July 12. The free, family-friendly festival will be at Ganesvoort Street (between 9th and Washington St.) from 12-5pm.
The BEST part is that the Festival will feature the world’s largest lemonade stand, served from a classic NYC water tank!
For more information about The High Line, see http://www.thehighline.org/

The Sweet Melissa Baking Book – “Perfect Pie Crust”
I was listening to guest Melissa Murphy on Martha Stewart Living Radio (Sirius 112/XM 157) talk about making the perfect pie crust. The secret, for those of you that do not know, is that everything has to be ICE COLD. The flour, the butter, the bowl, everything (more below).
Melissa Murphy runs the award-winning Sweet Melissa Patisseries in Carroll Gardens and Park Slope in Brooklyn, NY.

Christian Louboutin pumps 60% off at Saks.com
Let’s just say I’m a few cupcakes away from my weight when I was in my 20s. I haven’t worn high heels since I was 110 pounds. Even then I never looked comfortable in them. I almost always start the ”my feet hurt” hobble within the first hour. I don’t think it’s fair that some women can wear them as if they are wearing sneakers. If I WERE to buy a fabulous pair of heels, they would most certainly be the “it” shoes by Christian Louboutin with the signature red soles. Saks.com is selling them for 60% off to skinny girls with feet that never hurt. If you buy some, don’t tell me.
