Swirlberries, Or How Everything Is Better With Booze In It

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

I thought I had seen the last of the Meyer lemons for a while, but found some that were a little sad but still perfectly acceptable at Whole Foods the other day. I had no idea what I’d be using them for, but I figured they’d get used somehow. It’s going to be very hard [...]

What do you do with an underripe cantaloupe, some overripe strawberries and a half-empty bottle of wine?

Happy Pi(e) Day!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

This wasn’t the easiest project I’ve ever undertaken in the kitchen. Well, it was easy in the sense that the recipe was simple and didn’t take too long to put together, but the planning wasn’t the simplest. In this particular instance it turned out to be a good thing that I waste countless hours reading [...]

Pink & Brown

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Oof, right now the last thing I really want to talk about is sweet things. I had a busy, fun day filled with friends and sugar. It was the first really spring-like day of the year and we got out and enjoyed it, and earlier Z and I shared a plethora of really good cookies. [...]

Crepe Wednesday, Anyone?

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

I really wanted to post this yesterday, a.k.a. Pancake Day, a.k.a. Fat Tuesday, a.k.a. Mardi Gras.  But, unfortunately for me, I live in Maine, and we got hit with a big, stupid storm on Sunday night (that absolutely NO ONE seemed to see coming) and had our power knocked out from then until early this [...]

Iron Cupcake Earth: Coffee I

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Don’t let this recipe color your opinion of me.  Yes, it is the fifth Iron Cupcake entry of mine in a row that contains alcohol.  I promise I am not an alcoholic!  In fact, I rarely even drink anymore and would generally much rather bake with any alcohol I do have.  The only reason this [...]

Iron Cupcake: Wine III

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

I thought I was done with this theme, but my mom gave me a mostly-full bottle of locally made raspberry wine a few days ago.  Hmm…raspberry plus rose equals what?

Iron Cupcake November: Cranberry

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

I decided I really wanted to challenge myself, so I’m jumping into Iron Cupcake, in part because I was so excited about the theme!  I’ve always loved a particular cranberry orange relish that my grandma always makes for Thanksgiving, so I knew I had to make a tangy, orange-spiked cupcake. Cranberries are interesting…there aren’t too [...]
