Lucy can’t have nice things. Or, not for long.

And interesting leftovers in the fridge.

I like people who enjoy their food. 😊

Baffing cold butter onto bread is like putting on a wet bathing suit.

This is gorgeous.

Luxury.

My grandmother’s dining room. To the carpet, even. Quietly splendid. You may now dine with us.
