Rethinking a Least Favorite

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Recently I thought to myself, while building an apricot-raspberry tart at work, that raspberries were my least favorite berries. Strawberries are sweet and seductive, blueberries (wild ones, anyway) are tiny and tart, blackberries are big and inky and juicy. But raspberries? Really not my thing, unless of course you count one of my favorite summer [...]

You Tart!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Oh hey. It’s been like a month. I promised things were going to change, didn’t I?
…Well, they’re not. At least not in the way I promised. See, I just don’t have the energy, or honestly, the interest to be as hardcore into blogging as I was a year ago. Priorities change. So instead of stressing [...]

Fear of Meltage

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Currently, I’m sitting here in a pool of sweat, consuming as much icy deliciousness as I can. Sorbet, iced tea, iced coffee, you know. What’s that you say? It’s hot where you are, too? And you’re afraid that the ice cream you want so badly to cool you off will melt on the trip home?
Well, [...]

Belated But Delicious

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Though I’m a lot busier than I used to be, I still happily take special requests from friends. A couple months ago an old friend told me she wanted Margarita cookies for her birthday in May. So I made some!

Humble Beginnings

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

This is the first post in what will be an occasional little project I’m starting on this blog. You see, as much as I love cupcakes and coming up with ways to make them weird and wonderful, I think I bake them too much. Certainly for someone who has been working at a REAL restaurant [...]

The Perfect Excuse

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, or if you’ve tried to play catch-up in the archives, you may have noticed that I went crazy for Meyer lemons last winter. With my limited amount of free time (until now) I hadn’t been able to come up with an excuse to buy any. No [...]

Mull the Cold Away

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Recently I got an email from the radtastic people at POM Wonderful. Gee, I wonder why they chose NOW to email me? Could it be…*looks up at header* Hehe!
They wanted to send me some juice. And who am I to refuse sweet, tangy pomegranate juice?

In Which I Excitedly Throw Fruit at the Reader

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Well hello there. As you can see, I’m still a little…casual about updating the blog. Part of this is due to the ridiculously early darkness that prevents me from getting pictures on weekdays. Part is also due to the general feeling of “blaaahhhh I’m going back to bed” that the early darkness brings on in [...]

Teamelon

Friday, July 17th, 2009

I was very interested in the quite literally mouth-watering flavor combination I’ve used in this recipe for a while, and for some reason thought it would be best in a cupcake.
Though it would still make a fun cupcake, I think the combination of juicy watermelon and strong black tea must reach its fullest potential in [...]

Healthyberry Blues

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Frozen yogurt is something I wanted to play around with some more, especially after the horrible bout of tummy aches I suffered recently, probably due to my excessive ice-cream-eating and cheese-nibbling. That’s a bad lactose-intolerant!
