Apple Pie Kind of Weather

November 8, 2018 Vivian Lee Hu

One of my favorite things to do is to cook a meal with local ingredients wherever I’m traveling. We bought some local apples and baked apple pie late into the night, while catching up with friends until the early hours. We let it cool overnight and woke up to an apple pie breakfast under the protected balcony of our cabin.

I learned from my friend Apoorva to handle the dough as quickly as possible before the butter started melting. We formed the bottom crust first, followed by cutting thin strips and forming the pie crust weave. I found some good tips from Linda Lomelino, who makes some beautiful pastries. If you place the crust and and weave in the freezer prior to baking, there’s a better chance the crust will hold its shape.

After our apple pie breakfast, we took off in search of nature and more beautiful, fall foliage to fill our day.

I hope you enjoy the apple season while it lasts. Enjoy some apple cider and make some apple pie!

Season for Cozy Teacups & Mugs
Feb 8, 2019

With the onset of winter and rainy weather, I find myself constantly reaching for my favorite mugs and teacups. So I thought I’d share a few of my favorites. I love cups that you can cradle in your hands, a little whimsical, but earthy too.

Finds from Busy Days & Slow Weekends
Feb 2, 2019

While the days have been busy, the weekends have been good for the soul, unwinding with a bit of slow living and recharging with the new year. Here are a few links to finds along the way.

Checking off My Bucket List
Jan 26, 2019

I’ve always felt life was too short to live a single, boring day. It can be easy to turn several “somedays” into never. So about once a month, I go through my bucket list (that is ever growing) and make a commitment to check a few off.

Weekend Hike at Lake Chabot
Jan 19, 2019

My husband found this beautiful hike for us to try along Lake Chabot. We were greeted by mirror reflections in the morning, as we leisurely strolled along the 9 mile path.

Renovating Our Apartment Kitchen Floor
Jan 10, 2019

On a whimsical afternoon, my husband and I decided we were in need of a little apartment therapy. I’d recommend these peel-and-stick vinyl flooring panels to anyone who’s tired of their apartment flooring. It’s made a huge difference in our mini kitchen!

Behind the Scenes Designing our Dream Wedding

While it's been a few months now since we got married, I've finally found some time to share how the design came together. 


Went snowshoeing in this winter wonderland among the sequoia trees this weekend. Simply magical. 🙌
