I haven’t been doing an awful lot of new things that I can post about yet. I tried to make key lime tartelettes and pots de creme last night, but that didn’t go as planned. Lesson learned: never do your shopping according to one recipe and then use a different recipe. Also, don’t have over [...]

And the Marshmallows Just Keep Coming
Thursday, February 19th, 2009Eating Sunshine for Breakfast
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009This is just a quick post about my first adventures in jam/jelly/preserves-making. It’s not something I’m going to be getting into regularly, as the threat of botulism is a scary one, but this recipe is safe and easy.
An Awful Lot of Text for One Simple Recipe
Monday, January 26th, 2009I’ve been working my way through a fruit drawer (and a cupboard stash) of citrus. Cara cara oranges, key limes, ruby red grapefruits, blood oranges, minneolas, meyer lemons…I’m definitely taking advantage of the best part about winter. I’ve had mixed success: I still have to find time to try and thin out the over-cooked and [...]

Cranberries are interesting…there aren’t too [...]
Acknowledging That it’s Too Early for This Kind of Talk
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008When I was a little kid, decorating the Christmas tree was a week-long event for my family. We had boxes and boxes of cheesy ornaments my parents had gotten over the years, and, in the first house I lived in, an exceptionally high ceiling that demanded and exceptionally tall tree. After going out to one [...]
A Few of my Favorite Things
Thursday, October 16th, 2008The cupcakes will have to wait as I don’t know if I’ll even be topping them tonight (they are in the oven right now). So, tomorrow, writing about my absolute favorite cupcakes. I intended to make some of them tiny to take to a wine tasting I’m attending tomorrow night with my mom but I’ll [...]
