I have been in a cooking rut all of Q1. V excited for the new season! Equally excited to see the jumbo shells have a home at First Bloom. Lemon pasta for weeknight dinner, then we’re taking the shrimps camping this weekend 🦐🍋
Thrilled you're back in action! The wood burning oven? Love it all. Could you share where those white pasta bowls are from? I'm on a mission for the perfect pasta vessel – you know, something deep enough for that 'extra generous” serving we all crave.
Woohoo, welcome back! This pasta looks so simple and so yummy! I’m wondering what brand of pasta that is, I couldn’t quite make it out from the packaging (even with the row of different shapes in First Bloom). Did anyone catch it?
Honey-Bun ... I am so sorry for the non-open-mindedness over on YouTube. I clapped back on a comment, early on, as a reply to the comment. It made me sad. I mean, it's gentle, the YouTube reaction ...but ... still. It saddened my heart. People are deeply fickle and - most of them - deeply selfish. If you become anything that YOU need to become, BUT it changes something in THEM that they're not ready to change... they punish YOU for growing... when a healthy, mature, empathetic & creative response would be, "Good for her! A human being living a full, evolving life -- I don't own her. She's not here as a dancing circus animal to please me only .... Maybe I need to look at myself and ask myself why her change bothers me? Maybe it's something **I ** need to work on, on myself? ... Y'know?
Good for you for being a person who refuses to stay stagnant. If some of your fans only like you in ONE poloroid snapshot in time where you made THEM feel safe, but they don't love YOU as a person instead of as an instrument to them feeling okay... maybe they don't really love YOU (or care about you, root for you), but just want you, as a commodity, to DO for them what they want from you.
I know you know that... but that's not real friendship, real support.
That's not what having a kind, open heart is about.
That's not celebrating when OTHERS are happy.
I'm sorry you've gotten a taste of that today (....again?)...
I hope you keep it moving.
So many of us out here know that you are still you, just with a partner in your corner & some built-up life & professional experience. You're ALLOWED to change & grow. Those of us who understand how human nature -- at its best -- is supposed to work? How friendship and support works? How sisterhood works?
We're happy for you.
Do your thing mama. x.

Welcome back and so happy to see your induction stove! I have been trying to decide which one to get when I am finally able to do a kitchen renovation. Have had my eye on the Bertazzoni and didn't know AGA had one! Is yours just a stove top, or does it have an oven as well? It looks like you don't have a hood/venting ( at least it's not in the shot, haha) just curious if that is true or not? Did you look at other brands and how did you decide on the AGA? thank you!
Very much here for the wood-burning oven situation (or whatever it is) in the new kitchen!
Wow - big changes certainly explain the long awaited opening day! Thank you for continuing your work and sharing with your fans. I'm a big one!!
is the stove induction?? The best culinary thing that ever happened to me was getting an induction cooktop. Extra prep space! Easy to clean! Safe!
Ok. Love this. Change!! Not easy but so exciting. I can’t wait
I'm so glad you're back! My bedtime wind-down routine wasn't the same :)
Wouldn't it be season three? Three different kitchens! I've learned to love all of them so know I can handle this change too.
Love the new vibe! It’s giving mid-nineties chic, You’ve Got Mail. HERE FOR IT! Cheers to change and growth 🥂

The new title design is so cute. ☘️
