Popovers and Strawberry Butter.

When I was young, my mom would make popovers. It was few and far between, but every time she did, I loved them. When I grew up and moved in with the Mr. (prior to me being the Mrs.) one of the things he told me he loved were popovers. One Sunday morning I decided to make them in honor of our mutual love of what I referred to fondly as the egg-y muffin.

As I pulled them out of the oven, he ran out of the shower, and looked at my muffin tin, and said "that is NOT a popover, its a muffin." The next week, he surprised me with this. Apparently popovers take a special pan. I know, I know. Everyone says you can use muffin tins, but in his defense.... I am now a hardcore convert. 

Up until last March, all of the popovers I have had were homemade...

In March, I forced myself to go find myself a strapless bra. Shopping for undergarments have never really been a thing I love to do, so instead of going it alone, I dragged one of my best friends into the city with me. In her knowledge of my lack of love for having to do the task, she suggested- "lets go have some champagne and lunch beforehand at Neiman Marcus". I nodded with a seemingly mischievous smile, and before we knew it we were sitting down drinking some chicken broth. Unknown to me, Neiman Marcus serves you popovers when you sit down...with strawberry butter. I don't think I need to say anymore than... if every undergarment shopping experience is like that one, I will go every day.

So this one is dedicated to my dear friend Lane, thank you.
