TWD ~ Arborio Rice Pudding

November 21, 2008

You know how I promised that I would be on time with the challenge this week, well…some unexpected circumstances prevented me from keeping my promise. I don’t know how many of you have seen Grindhouse, but in the Quentin Tarantino “Death Proof” portion of the double feature I find myself completely understanding Zoë Bell’s logic [...]

Recipe Round-Up!

November 20, 2008

You can thank acute nasopharyngitis for my extreme tardiness. At least I think it’s that and not the flu. You’d be surprised at how crap-tastic you can feel having the common cold setting up shop in the humble abode of your bod. So here we are at what will most likely be the format for [...]

TWD ~ Kugelhopf

November 14, 2008

It’s Friday and you’re reading my blog so that must mean it’s Tuesday! Yeah folks, I’ve been a bit of a slacker this week and didn’t get this post out until now. I PROMISE I will do better next week!

November 9, 2008

It’s getting to be that time of the year. Not that I need an excuse to bake, but no other time can rival year’s end when there are so many holidays that seem to have been invented just for us bakers. Historically though the Pilgrims, at what many consider to be the first American Thanksgiving, [...]

TWD ~ And the winner is…Rugelach!

November 6, 2008

Here we are again with another challenge from the Tuesdays With Dorie group. Sorry for not posting this on Tuesday, but I’ve been overcome by election mania and glued to the TV for the past two days. As far as this weeks challenge goes, Grace from Piggy’s Cooking Journal’s pick of Rugelach was a real [...]

Wow, what an election!

November 5, 2008

Reece, Marc, Leah, Reilly & Jake I know, I know, it’s politics all over again, but I promised these kids I’d put their photo on my blog. Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday’s historic election. My local polling place is actually across the street from my house, but I voted with an absentee [...]

Politics and the ubiquitous bib…

November 4, 2008

Just in case you weren’t aware (right!), the United States will be holding its Presidential election today. I want to stay away from politics for the most part on this blog, but I couldn’t help noting this tidbit that I came across on Serious Eats when I was doing a search on Pumpkin Macarons of [...]

Recipe Round-Up! – Pumpkin Edition

November 2, 2008

Sorry for the delay on this AGAIN. This week’s post ended up being even more of a behemoth than last week’s. Again don’t expect a theme every week, but after the Pumpkin Muffins challenge from Tuesdays With Dorie I had some leftover pumpkin (in addition to the $1 a can sale at the grocery store). [...]
