Regarding flossing with one hand, one word: Plackers. :)

The apple cake looks delicious. Love the combination of apples and walnuts.

I loved this post, thank you for taking the time to write it. When my mother stayed with me after the birth of my first daughter it was like heaven. I can still remember vividly the watercress salad she made for me the day I got he from the hospital. That meal fed me in so many ways. Moms are the best.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your nice notes.

Gayle - Grow up? What? Nooooo!

Luisa - Right here, of course! xo.

Liiiisa! We miss you. Yes, you two tiny creatures must meet soon.

Kasey - So nice when apple cake calls, isn't it?

Thanks, Rachel. xo.

Anonymous - Aw, you think of me when buttering toast? Is it weird that I take that as a compliment? Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind note, Hana.

Molly, hello, my friend. You're so sweet to think of us. Thank you.

Such a lovely thing to say, Jen. I appreciate it. (And I have to tell you, I did a double take when I read the word "mother" in your note. Still can't believe I get to be one...)

Hi, Mom. xo.

Thank you, Amanda!

Tiki! Hello, hello. The cake, yes! I think you'll like this one. xo.

Hi there, sweet Megan. 'Tis the season, right?

Happy weekend, folks! See you next week.

2011-11-04T04:45:40.421-04:00

Hey Jess! Wonderful, wonderful...I just did an apple cake on my blog, too. something in the air, perhaps. Or just that they're generally a cinch to throw together which, I imagine, is key for a new mom. So happy for you and the new addition. Sounds like things are going well. Always look forward to checking in...

Oh God, cucumbers at the bottom of a crisper drawer *shudder*. We've all been there for one reason or another. I'm glad your reason is little Mia.
This cake looks great. Might even make it today.

You are a phenomenal writer. I laughed, I cried, I wished for cake. Thank you.

And yes, I know exactly what you mean about cucumbers. :)

One of the most awesome experiences a woman can have is seeing her daughter as a mother --- and I am truly grateful --- wishing you love and some extra moments of sleep.

2011-11-02T23:08:22.114-04:00

I so agree with you on Teddie's cake and on mothers. I really enjoy your blog ad not only find you to be an entertaining writer but also someone who seems like a great cook, friend, mother, and daughter. An uncommon combination, I assure you.

2011-11-02T23:03:42.953-04:00

1. I have been hard at work developing a deep and abiding love for this cookbook, mostly by working my way through the cookies section.
2. I've also been searching for a great apple cake.
3. Apparently I did not put 1 + 2 together. Thanks for doing the math on my behalf.
4. I have a box with your name on it across the room, awaiting my second hand to wrangle the packaging tape.
5. So good to see you back and in the swing, and with such magnificent little mug shots peeping out here and there. You know she's perfect. But I'm going to keep repeating it, anyway, ad nauseum.

xo,
M

I so enjoyed reading this post...I both laughed and cried...

...laughed at the part about tube pans and Texas, and cried at the part out the realization of the importance of Grandma, (or Nanna, as she is know know as at our home).

2011-11-02T16:33:12.176-04:00

Oh, your words ring so true about the amazing quality your mom takes on when you yourself become a mom!!!
One more thing that is impossible to do one-handed: Buttering toast. Since I think of you everytime I butter toast, I thought you might appreciate that.
Best wishes to you and your new family.

Look at you, baking and blogging with a newborn! Great to see you last week in shul. Mia is lovely, and you & Eli are clearly doing amazingly well. Enjoy, enjoy.

2011-11-02T12:14:47.047-04:00

Oh, yum! Jess, I'm so excited for another anytime cake, since your cinnamon snacking cake was such a delicious success. Also, I must see that beautiful tiny creature in person soon.

So, uh. This is awkward. But, um, WHERE ARE MORE PICTURES OF YOUR ADORABLE CHILD? :) x

Hi Jess -- the cake looks good and it was great to see you this past weekend. I'm so glad that my soup fed your and Eli's bellies...and therefore little Mia's as well. I can't wait to see her grow up. Gayle
