Well, you found me. Hooray! I’m so glad you did. It’s been a long time coming, this move to a new site. I’m sure there will be an adjustment period for all of us, but I hope you will continue to be a reader and hang out with me and my craziness. To make it […]
Except it was summer. And I mix things up sometimes. Okay, well, a lot. Have you been watching the Winter Olympics? I have. Well, some of it. Okay, like 20 minutes. (Okay, the highlight reels.) Is it just me, or are the Winter Olympics kind of like the ugly stepsister of the “Real Olympics”? Very […]
I do still know how to bake. Perhaps you thought I had given up on it, considering it’s been a while since you saw me make anything other than a cookie. I DO still know how to bake. Take this cheesecake, for example. Oh how I wish I could show you the inside of it, […]
UPDATE: This contest has ENDED. Thanks everyone for playing! I was doing so well. I was. Julia Child and I were bosom buddies, cooking things up for 3 hours at a time. Yep, you heard me right. Three Hours. That’s a lot of time to hover over the oven. Not that the meals weren’t totally […]
So who is DoughMessTic, anyway? Thanks for asking. I’m Susan Moss. I grew up in West Virginia and Virginia, in small towns. Very small towns. Towns so small you are known most of your life by who your Dad is, or what position you played on the football team. I lived within a 20 minute […]
Last night I convinced Jon and Seven to help me make more Valentine Cookies. I had baked them off earlier in the day from leftover sugar cookie and gingerbread dough I had in the freezer, so all that we had to do is color up the icing and set to work. When I asked Seven […]
Do you go all out for Valentine’s Day? Enough to make decorated Valentine Sugar Cookies? I’ve never really been a Valentine’s type of girl. And until this very moment, I didn’t know why. Now I do. You see, when I was in High School (our High School actually started in 7th grade, so I was […]
When I was growing up, reality shows weren’t the craze they are now. We lived in the country, which meant no cable. For YEARS, we had 3 stations…ABC, NBC, & CBS. We did get to watch PBS at my grandmother’s every afternoon after getting off the school bus, but just a quarter mile up the […]
Look out, loverlys. This week, I can assure you that you’ll be seeing tons of red, pink, X’s and O’s. Chocolate and hearts and plenty of I Love You’s floating around the food blogs. heck, even I will be in on it. But what says I Love You more than a Le Creuset Enameled Cast […]
I have an iPhone. To say that I love it is an understatement. It is so much more than a phone. It is practically a living creature in my life. I bought it, I gave it Apps, it treats me well. I hope it doesn’t get any diseases that need time away from Mommy. Last […]
It’s been forever since I posted any pictures of cakes I have done for clients. Over a month! Yes, I am still doing them…more than ever! In fact, I have done so many, that I haven’t even been able to photograph all of them. That bums me out, too, because some of them were really […]
I’m not that old. I haven’t even had my 20 year High School reunion yet, so don’t chalk this post up to some old lady sitting around in a rockin’ chair, a pot of soup on the stove, knitting underwear and spouting off about how much different it was in the olden days. I’m NOT […]
