Please don't think that my blog has been hijacked.
It is getting a little fluff and scrub.
Croissants and Root Beer is growing up. It's taking on a new name and new life with a title more thoughtful and, I think, more fitting. As a brand new mother, I named my blog after the two foods I craved most during my pregnancies -- croissants and root beer. I still love both foods.
With the help of some friends today, we've come up with a new name that will reflect my transformation into a hopefully more resourceful food blog with more of a focus on stories, recipes and seasonal meals: The Humble Buttery. What do you think?
Buttery can be an adjective that you could use to describe your dressed up corn on the cob, but it's also a noun. A buttery is a Medieval pantry or storeroom where the ale was stored. I don't literally have a buttery but like to think of my backyard garden, refrigerator and freezer all as my pantry. I absolutely love the word buttery and thought it would be a fantastic one for this blog.
Outside of my internet space, my real-life home is getting a little scrub down, starting with my family room. We've taken down the baby gate covering the sooty fireplace, the neon plastic kiddie toys went to a new home and the wooden blocks were given a new location, a new thrifted wicker basket and firewood a round metal bin, also thrifted. I love my local Goodwill.
It feels so good to sit in this room.
I hope you will enjoy spending time in this new space of The Humble Buttery, too. I look forward to more time together with you. If you get a sec., please say hello and tell me what you've done to spruce things up in your home lately.
