"Eat"
Did you know that Pi(e) Day is coming up on March 14 (3/14)? If you’re not familiar with that very nerdy holiday, it’s the celebration of the mathematical constant, π, or the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, which comes out to be 3.14 (plus a lot of other [...]
My baby sister’s birthday was last week, so my brother cooked her dinner and I baked her a cake. As she requested, I made her a black-bottom cake, and then went in search of a suitable ice cream flavor to go with it. I really only crave ice cream when it’s pretty hot outside, but [...]
Since the holidays are fast-approaching, I thought I’d do a gift guide series. But instead of rounding up items to purchase, I decided to compile lists of relatively easy things to make for the various types of people in your life. Got any requests? Leave me a comment!
Everybody likes eating (that’s what Thanksgiving is [...]

We won’t have any of the official wedding photos for awhile, but I thought I’d share some of the ones taken by family and friends. I figured I’d start with the sweet stuff.
As I’ve mentioned a few times, my sister Andrea made our cake. She spent several [...]
Sorry to have dropped out of the blogging world for so long there! I truly intended to post while I was in Portland, but I was super busy, plus I forgot my camera cable. It felt like I was running around like crazy while I was there, trying to get as much done for the [...]
This weekend was a super busy one because Steven’s birthday was on Friday (also Earthday!). First I made him dinner and his favorite kind of cake, carrot. Since I don’t like carrot cake, this is a mini cake, only about 3 or 4 inches wide. I halved the recipe and baked the batter in little [...]
One thing I did while I was in Arizona was knit this little cupcake, from the book One Skein. I’ve had this book for years and have been meaning to make a cupcake the whole time, but just didn’t get around to it. It turned out that my grandma had the same book, so [...]
Drooling yet?
How about now? Does it make it better or worse if I tell you that those lumps in the chocolate puddles are walnuts and cacao nibs?
The idea of making these cookies was planted by a link to this recipe from 101 Cookbooks, but I actually used [...]
Street cart food on Friday at Fabric8, complete with multiple garnishes. Don’t know the name of the cart or this Mexican-inspired dish, but it sure was good. We also had lemon blueberry and earl grey creme brulees from the creme brulee cart. I really wanted s’mores creme brulee, but he was all out. Just as [...]
This week I’m going with something a bit different for the tutorial. That’s right, I’m going to show you how to grow your own food. My apartment doesn’t get very good light, I have no yard, and only a fire escape that I’m not allowed to keep any plants on, yet I can easily grow [...]
