Did you know that last weekend was designated as Canning Across America time?  I didn’t. 

Sadness. 

BUT if you missed the canning fest, check out a local event held AND documented by Linsey from Cake and Commerce

I know I’m looking forward to some solid hours with my new book this Labor Day weekend.  What to go with my favorite tea? Check out these yummy looking kosher madeleines from Zahavah at KosherCamembert.  And speaking of kosher….while I’m not sure whether this follows the laws of kashrut, it’s still Jewish.  Sarah from Two Blue Lemons takes on a Martha Stewart recipe for apple honey challah….  The best part: she lets us know how it all turned out.
