Friends, I got a new cookbook. Without naming any names, someone pretty awesome sent it to me. As for the rest of you, thanks for nothing (except for my friends Marge and Colin, who both sent me recipes I am excited to try). In return, said cookbook gifter asked for cookies and cakes, and said [...]

The Great Egg Sandwich Exploration, part II
I’m back on the case. The greatest egg sandwich combination will be found, and I’ll be the one to find it. I was inspired to make one today because I went out to brunch yesterday in Brooklyn and had an amazing “Norwegian Eggs Benedict,” which is essentially eggs benedict minus canadian bacon plus smoked salmon. [...]

Anyberry Pie
I know you’ve at some point gone through your freezer to find several bags of frozen berries fighting the good fight against freezer burn. If not, you don’t buy frozen berries enough. What do you put on your ice cream? Don’t even say fudge.
Anyway, if you find yourself in such an unfortunate situation, here’s what [...]

Can I get a mulligan?
This, friends, was a test. A test to see which one is stronger…my laziness, or my pride. Well, pride won, by about a mile. Because after my carrot cake disaster I had several options: 1) Do nothing, serve carrot cake and hope for the best 2) Create simple yet pleasing backup cake to serve in [...]

Ch-ch-ch-changes
Listen, I upgraded so that I could play around with my CSS because I couldn’t take it anymore. So I’ve put up a temporary banner image (don’t worry, it’s not the final one) until I can scan in the one I really want to use. But first I have to make it. I’m on it. [...]

Lite and Wrong Carrot Cake
Tell me, readers. Is it possible for me to do anything right? I’m starting to think maybe not. The other night I made chicken and dumplings with some leftover chicken. It was delicious, don’t get me wrong, but someone forgot to TURN THE STOVE OFF after she served herself and others and ended up with, [...]

Plum Tart plum tired me out
Hey kids! How about some plums? Yeah!
Know what else? I finally sacked up and got a new camera battery charger today. It set me back a cool $40. Yes. A camera charger. FORTY PRECIOUS DOLLARS. That’s like…I don’t even know. How many sandwiches is that? Like at least 6. Bah.
It’s cool though. I am obviously [...]

Easter cheesecake and rotten brain
Dear readers. Do you ever feel all discombobulated? Because I’ve read that, technically, your brain starts dying at age 23. And here I am facing down 26 in a small number of weeks and I’m feeling like my brain is kinda shaking everyone’s hands and sighing and saying, “well, we had a good run.”
Because I [...]

In the Red
Internet, there are some things that I just know about myself from having existed on this planet for almost 26 years. Things like, I can’t do a back flip on a trampoline no matter how long I’m on there, jumping up and down, saying, ok, on the next jump I’m doing it. And there are [...]
