Loukoumades & Sunshine

16.past.noon

16 past noon on Saturday. All of our ornament & decking boxes are piled up on the dining room table. Sunshine is pouring in. Loukoumades are rising on the kitchen counter. Under a towel I made more than 3 years ago, which has held up quite nicely. I'm so glad I've used it. I hope we have enough honey. Getting the tree today.

xo, AM

Lovely. Is this towel made out of quilter's cotton? I would love to know what you used to make this and if it is double sided?

Anna Maria said...

It is a kokka cotton from a few years ago, sort of heavier than standard quilting cotton, its a project from my first book. Just single sided :)

Andrea said...

Yum! We make a similar sweet fried dough called Pinulata. The honey syrup is the best part, imho!!

Mmmmmmm, loukoumades and Christmas decorating.
Go together almost as well as loukoumathes fried in the the year's new olive oil--fresh from the mill a day or two after the olives are picked. Truly does have a flavor of the fresh outdoors. And, God willing, we'll be doing just that in a few short weeks with your brother.

My mouth is watering at the thoughts! I've not seen them in the UK but the recipe is now bookmarked :)

Mari said...

So fun to see the towel I know from your first book in use:)

Loukoumades look delicious. Like a Greek version of dutch oliebols. Or oliebols are the dutch version of loukoumades :)

Happy Advent!

Anna Maria... you delight me! From a kitchen towel, to visions of decorating and gathering, and now imagining the aroma and taste of your loukoumades... all sweet as honey, all inspiring and cheering. Merry Advent, dear friend.

i love that tea towel and recognize it from Seams to Me. i've considered making them for christmas gifts in the past, but always end up in a time crunch and buying them from anthropologie instead. thanks for the inspiration again! maybe after christmas i'll make a few for myself.
happy decorating!
