Guys. Remember Doug Funnie and his favorite band The Beets and that awesome song they sang about needing more allowance (yodeleheehoo)? REMEMBER? Gosh, Doug Funnie. What a good guy he was. If more men used Doug Funnie as a role model then maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess we’re in.
But, listen, friends: I’m back. [...]
But just the first part. The honey cake.
As many of you know, my dad keeps bees. Which means I have been blessed with a steady stream of mild and wonderful honey. I can barely stomach the stuff that comes in those plastic bear bottles anymore. It’s because I’m a privileged and entitled brat and nothing [...]
Lately this blog has been reading less like a mature 26-year-old’s journey through a baking life and more like a hormonal 16-year-old’s journey through the neuroses of her first relationship. I apologize. I’ve been swinging pretty recklessly on the mood swingset. These days I’m evening out a bit. Let’s bring it back to the baked [...]
Hey jerks, here are a bunch of healthy and delicious muffins. With pumpkins. And apples. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
And they’re not even cake in muffin form, so I was wrong about that always being the case. They’re really real muffins. They couldn’t be put in a loaf pan and baked as bread. They couldn’t be [...]
Oh reader please please read that title like “some cookies” with a lisp. Please do. There, now don’t you feel better?
Can I be honest? I’m going to be honest, since 80% of this blog’s purpose is my own catharsis (heyyyy ego!). I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m in a funk, friends. I’m like, [...]
What I choose to bake is often a subconscious expression of how I am feeling. When I feel bold I come out swinging with elaborate, multi-stepped recipes. When I feel brave I try a new genre or cuisine. When I feel sad I eat a lot of butter. When I feel angry or confused I [...]
It’s a brownie puddle, people. A dense buttery chocolate pie with holes of chocolate ganache.
What the fuck else can I even SAY? What do you want to hear from me? That it’s easy to make? Well, it is. That you probably already have all the ingredients to make it? I don’t know your shopping habits, [...]
Like many of you, I was upset to hear that Gourmet magazine has been cancelled. I mean, not upset like fetch me a pint of ice cream upset. But upset like, whyyy? Why must the things I like continuously be cancelled? So when I had this bunch of fresh sage and I didn’t know what [...]
Hey! Check it:
Yes, I decided to repeat my apple-stacking accomplishments from my favorite Apple Crumble post. There were several non-believers last time. All, you taped them together, right? Taped them? Come on. This time I’m giving myself extra points for 1) variety of apples and 2) seemingly incompatible shapes and sizes of apples. What I’m saying [...]
Wow I am not even kidding, readers. Don’t even MAKE these. You’ll watch yourself put in 2 whole sticks of butter and end up with like…2 dozen cookies. Most of which you’ll eat yourself, god damn it, despite telling yourself to STOP. STOP THIS. IT’S EASY. JUST DON’T PUT ANOTHER ONE IN YOUR MOUTH. but [...]
