WooooHoooo. I’m here! Two weeks in.a.row. Can you believe it? This week’s country of choice is Ireland, chosen by Michelle from My Year to Get Skinny. Yes, I have been to Ireland. I don’t have pictures, as I was still using a regular old film camera back in 2003. I guess I could have scanned […]
I love the fall. It’s easier to breathe, easier to see, just, well, easier. I love the crispness in the air, the smell of dried leaves and chimney smoke, the excuse to wear a jacket. I took this picture a couple of weekend ago. It is a view looking towards my home from several miles […]
Haute Cuisine? No, it isn’t. But before you run off, disgusted that such a simple cookie has been featured on this blog, you should read on. Not only is this NOT your typical no-bake cookie, I am also going to educate you a bit. Maybe. Where I am from, “No-Bake” Cookies are called Preacher Cookies. […]
Rugelach. Huh?? Sorry, never heard of it. Yes, I am sheltered. But I own Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours, so the sheltered days are passing. I am being adventurous, thanks to my pals over at Tuesdays With Dorie…and this week, I made Rugelach courtesy of Piggy’s Cooking Journal. So, Rugelach. It’s just […]
That’s right. Not a typo. For this month’s You Want PIES With That? Challenge, Holly of PheMOMenon decided that the Creative Tarts should make a pie based on Fashion. Personally, I have been wearing my husbands flannel Redskins Pajama bottoms and a clashing VT Hokie sweatshirt all day (oh, and now it’s bedtime, too – […]
This Week, Roxanne of Roxanne’s Road Rules chose Germany to celebrate Oktoberfest…what perfect timing! I have been craving big, soft, homemade pretzels…so of course I decided to participate. It is kind of sad for me, you see, as MKMW is MY baby. And I left her. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time anymore, […]
Today is my Hubby’s Birthday. I won’t say how old he is exactly, but it rhymes with thirty-five. So, for his birthday, I ask him…”what kind of cake do you want?” Him: Eclairs. Me: That’s not a cake. Him: Mint Brownies. Me: That’s not a cake. Him: A cake made out of eclairs. Me: Umm, […]
This week’s TWD recipe was chosen by Clara of I Heart Food for Thought. Whoodda thunk it? CB choosing a cupcake? Nooooo. Surely you jest. These cupcakes are all chocolate. Chocolate cake with chocolate icing. My icing didn’t really work out as Dorie had prescribed…it kind of seized up when I threw in the powdered […]
I have never really been a fan of the Sugar Cookie. I don’t know why, to be honest. I think maybe they typically lack a bit of flavor – but mostly, I don’t like hard cookies. They also make me think of Jon’s cookie decorating skills…at Christmas, when his mother makes little gingerbread man shaped […]
Yes, I know, it’s late. Again. But you have obviously seen the new site – http://www.bakinggals.com/ – and how great it is…well – that’s where I have been living. All day, everyday. Hope you are liking it! I had such a great crew in Round Three, as always, and I think I actually got all […]
