Salted and Styled (Chia Chong and Libbie Summers) Flowers by Ashley Bailey

The Unexamined Easter

I’m all about living a thoughtful, introspective existence, but some things are better left unexamined.

The Perfect Flower for Mom

For a wonderful Mother from an appreciative daughter, I hope you see a little bit of you in this arrangement. I hope that I can be the Mother to Byrd that you have been to me. Happy Mother’s Day with love.

Pork Belly Gyros

For a stretch of four years, I was lucky enough to be a resident on the Greek island of Mykonos for a couple of months each year. I’d go to recharge my creative batteries, drink some ouzo, dive for sea urchin roe, and sleep. Standing on the edge of the cerulean blue Aegean Sea and overlooking the tan bodies of Grecian Gods in Speedos, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be. Of course, as nourishing as all that introspection was for my soul, this girl needed to eat.
