TWD ~ Tall and Creamy Cheesecake

December 30, 2008

Sometimes I get the impression that I’m probably one of those insane picky eaters, I guess I am..because….I don’t care for cheesecake. You can pelt me with boxes of Philly if you’d like, but that won’t do a bit of good. I never liked cheesecake. Let me clarify this statement a bit. If someone plops [...]

I feel like I just ran a marathon…

December 29, 2008

Yep, those were the exact words that left my lips the night (or was it morning?) when I finally finished the assembly of this challenge.

I just recently made my favorite jam thumbprint cookie recipe and scarfed them down in record time, I’m ashamed to say. So, I was looking forward to trying my hand at Dorie’s recipe for these Buttery Jam Cookies selected by Heather of Randomosity and the Girl. How could you go wrong…butter = yum, jam = [...]

Hey, Check This Out!

December 10, 2008

While I was researching the best price for sugars and other decorations I came across this questionably useful item, a “flour wand” at King Arthur Flour. Now, don’t get too excited. There’s a bit of false advertising here by calling it a “wand” since no real magic will be imparted by purchasing this gadget. Yet, [...]
