I’m obviously not very good at getting older. Where some people can do it with grace and dignity, I feel like the best options are to create havoc and throw all of my cards in the air to see where they land. Turning 25 meant leaving everything– my job, my boyfriend, my house, my car–=to … Continue reading »
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie assignment was absolutely delicious. Or so I’ve heard, since I didn’t get to eat any of it. I shipped it off to the hospital, made someone else pay for it, and got to take pretty lil’ pictures of it. I can vouch for the caramel, since a fair amount of … Continue reading »
I forgot to post my Tuesdays with Dorie post this week, although it really doesn’t matter since I didn’t do the creme brulee. I don’t have any decent ramekins, my blowtorch is out of fuel because I have an unfortunate tendency to play with it when I’ve been drinking, which is frequently, and I was … Continue reading »

Ugh. I’m having a rough baking day. I made Dorie Greenspan’s Chocolate Chunkers for this week’s challenge, and I burned 2/3 of them. Would you like to know how this happened? I will tell you. I have not yet been to the gym today, which means that I have to go run at some point. … Continue reading »
Before I write my report on my latest Dorie Greenspan adventure, I felt like it was worthwhile to show you what I managed to accomplish yesterday. I should warn you ahead of time that none of those accomplishments included laundry, which is probably why Chris was shining his iPhone around the room in the dark … Continue reading »
I thought it would be impossible to make pitas from scratch. I don’t know why I thought this, but it seemed like the magical pocket in the middle was achievable only by bakeries and members of the marsupial family. I LOVE pitas. I love them brushed in garlic butter and grilled, I love them stuffed … Continue reading »
For those of you who have been following me as I teach myself to bake, I have joined two more baking groups. As you may be aware, I am already a Daring Baker. I am now a member of Iron Cupcake World, and, as of today’s post, I am a card-carrying member of Tuesdays with … Continue reading »
