If you, like me, grew up in New England eating Bickford's* apple pancakes and have spent your whole life trying to recreate them, this is the best recipe I've found:

Preheat oven to 425.

Put two tablespoons of butter in a pie plate and stick it in the oven to melt.

Mix together 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, and two eggs.

Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pie plate.

Slice up an apple and arrange the pieces in the batter.

Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon together and crumble over the apple and batter.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Broil for 30 seconds. (This seems like a pointless amount of time to broil but it caramelizes everything nicely and I think it's what gives it the quintessential Bickford's taste. If you broil it longer, I find it runs a risk of burning it, but ymmv.)

*Bickford's is one of those New England chains, like Friendly's and Christmas Tree Shoppe, that I can't understand why they're not still dominant forces in the region sigh

I'm a fan of that milkman's ass.

"Hot Roast Beef" Baltimore, Maryland, 1943 (via Shorpy, full size here)

I love seeing tableaus like this because there's SO MUCH captured in this random candid moment. The guys outside the billiards hall. The Juxtaposition between Bickfords and The New Coney Island Cafe. The guy in the ill fitting suit reading the paper by the lamp post.

My favorite is the old advert for 7up!

YOU LIKE IT * IT LIKES YOU

i rebound a book!!

when i made my ‘clothbound classics’ sticker designs, i found myself wanting to try making them in the real world, so i bought a bunch of art supplies and gave it a go. honestly, for a first attempt, i’m really pleased with how it went!!

if anyone seeing this wants to try bookbinding for themselves, i used the youtube tutorials by thatsmybookshelf over on instagram! i found their instructions really helpful and detailed, so even though i was a complete beginner, i got this result!!
