Well, not so much leftovers as bits of ingredients. A few egg whites here, a handful of walnuts there… A bit of honey and a dash of cardamom later and I had some delicious, slightly exotic cookies. So what’s the problem?

The Law of Shortages
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Remember back in October when everyone was freaking out over the supposed pumpkin shortages? That was a little scary.

What Resolutions?

It’s at a very fancy, new-ish little restaurant and I’m enjoying it immensely. Even though it’s only twice a week it is, unfortunately, cutting severely into my free time lately. Not to mention [...]
Pumpkin Cupcakes, Part 2
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009These might look a little familiar to anyone who has bothered to read ALL the way back on this blog…back to when the pictures were horrible instead of slightly-less-than-horrible…
