This cake has been tempting me since I first laid eyes on it while perusing Food52. And then it started taunting me when I saw that Molly used the cake as her base for terrariums. Edible gingerbread terrariums. Seriously?!? I won’t even mention her gingerbread farm except that I will and the windows are freaking JollyContinue reading “Dark Molasses Gingerbread Cake”

Tid-Bits…A Friday Edition
This cake is in the oven. ER is on repeat – season 3 to be exact when Dr. Ross was all dreamy and bad ass, Goose, errr Dr Green, was battling some internal demons, and Carol was studying for med school. I am tempted to find ALL of the Christmas episodes (they are someContinue reading “Tid-Bits…A Friday Edition”
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies
‘ You could use these as bait for any kind of trap‘. A compliment from a grateful co-worker as he stuffed perhaps his third of what would ultimately become eight cookies by the end of his shift, into his mouth. Side note – I often pray to the high heavens for his metabolism. I amContinue reading “Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies”
Let’s Give Thanks!
Sooooo…there is no way I am going to find time to provide you with recipes for 5 appetizers, 7 sides, 8 desserts (2 of which would be pie), 4 cocktails, and a beast of a golden roasted turkey (tip: we roast ours upside down). I should have started back in August like every other foodContinue reading “Let’s Give Thanks!”
Weekend Tid-Bits
I am waiting for furniture to be delivered. A couch and a chair – I am praying to the dear Lord that it fits up the stairs – I will keep you updated. My previous couch got stuck not in one but two staircases. A chainsaw was involved on the second staircase – itContinue reading “Weekend Tid-Bits”
Apple Cider Bourbon
I sit at the far end of a long table. I make eye contact with the patron at the other end and simply ask if it’s okay that we share the last lone table available at the cafe/bakery that we are both indulging in on this fall day. From the looks of the weather channel, itContinue reading “Apple Cider Bourbon”
Monday Tid-Bits
My youngest brother is soothing his little girl by listening to Marty Robbins. He is singing along (he is quite the fan) and while it is the cutest thing I have seen in a long while and she is completely enthralled…I am wishing it was something other than Marty Robbins. Perhaps Elton or Bob. Rhinestones and rodeosContinue reading “Monday Tid-Bits”
Caramelized Apple and Goat Cheese Tartine
I broke/exhausted a paper shredder. A borrowed shredder, the kind that just sits over a trashcan and only shreds two pieces of paper at a time. Not heavy duty by any means. I went three pieces thick one too many times and it died mid-shred. The pay stubs from 2004 were just too much. Which leads meContinue reading “Caramelized Apple and Goat Cheese Tartine”
Weekend tid-bits.
Are you weekending like pros? Apple festivals, pumpkin patches, cider and doughnuts, kettle corn and hot chocolate. People we are in the midst of the BEST time of the year. GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY IT. Go. Do. Rake leaves and jump into them. Smell the air. Suck it into your lungs. You can just breathContinue reading “Weekend tid-bits.”
Roasted Vegetable and Apple Hash
The first week in the new space proved to be a bit lacking in the food department. The excuse being late nights at work that left me pulling into the driveway well beyond 8pm. On these evenings, I found myself eating scrambled eggs, loaded with goat cheese, often times straight from the skillet, withContinue reading “Roasted Vegetable and Apple Hash”
