Well right off the bat before I say anything else.. Ya'll are AMAZING! The quality of recipes that landed in my email inbox pretty much blew me away and I truly cannot wait to try each and every one them out myself! Thank you so much to everyone who participated.. the variety in this round-up will...
First thing I learned is - the Army has a long name for everything, so they end up shortening them with nicknames or acronyms. Most of them are vulgar, but that's the military. Mikey is going to spit some at you, so here's a little list for your reference. Enjoy! Official acronyms and initialisms AA...
Welcome to the Nineteenth Blog Party! This goofy little event just keeps on chugging, doesn't it? We have an amazing turn-out this evening, and I'm so happy you all could be here. Clearly, I'm not the only one who takes solace in a bowl of somethingcarb -heavy...there are some truly amazing, and...
After my paltry showing at the inaugural farmers' market of the season last week, I redoubled my efforts and even got Cyd in on the fun (taught her how to make pound cakes and pie crusts!). By Saturday morning, we had a very respectable load of baked goods and preserves to take to town. And the...
I was going to post about this little Valentine's Day treat for my co-workers, not to mention, a fabulous Valentine's dinner menu, but Thursday became a total nightmare. No, no, it was not the embittered cynicism of an aging single woman that marred the day, but an automotive catastrophe which was...
So, one of my New Year's resolutions this year is to try one new (to me) restaurant in Montreal each month. That's about how often I get there, but we end up going to the same favorite restaurants over and over again, though Montreal is a wondrous and diverse foodie paradise! To help me in my quest,...
Sometimes I get the impression that my associates think I'm all gourmet all the time--that I would never deign to eat the food of the common people. But I must confess, from time to time, I secretly enjoy trashy, processed foods like the ubiquitous blue box of mac and cheese or weiner wraps...
I have already made a few Daring Bakers recipes (5 all in all and 3 as a member), but until now, I had never got as challenged and scared as with this "Yule Log". Through all the stages of the recipe, I kept my fingers crossed and hoped (prayed, better said) that everything would turn out right... I...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am ever so proud to annouce that I have officially joined the Daring Bakers' ranks and that I have succesfully completed my first challenge as a member of this group!!! The Daring Bakers was created in November 2006 when Lis of "La Mia Cucina"(USA) and Ivonne of "Cream Puffs...
101 Things to Do - Before you Die 1. Write the story of your life. Let’s face it. The odds of anyone else doing it are pretty remote 2. Watch every James Bond film Back to back, from Dr No to Casino Royal(not David Niven one) 3. Sing alone in a music store Ideally very loud while wearing those...
Entertainment Weekly recently did a special 1,000th issue. In it, they picked the 100 New classics in Film, Televison and Music. More than one blogger went through the various lists and added their two cents. This is something I wanted to do, so I was inspired by Johnny Bacardi, who in turn was...
MY MASTER CLEANSE DIET: I am on the Master Cleanse (MC) diet and today is my 3rd day. My target is to be on MC for the next 14 days. My start weight was 85kg (187 pounds), my target weight is 70kg (154 pounds) Yes! 15kg (33 pounds) is an amazing amount to lose within 14 days. I am mainly doing this...
It’s ok if you think I’m a bit crazy. Everyone else around me does too, because I’ve been excited– even to the point of giddy– about making up a batch of ice cream inspired by a recent trip to Il Laboratorio del Gelato. No one would begrudge me the ice cream part, certainly. It’s the...
I figured I'd add my 2 cents to the WWW Super Bowl Recipe collection ;) Super Bowl XL is being played this year in Detroit Michigan's Ford Field between the Seattle Seahawks and the Pittsburgh Steelers. While I have always been a fan of the Steelers and a football fan in general, I haven't seen a...
Like crashing into a big brick wall, it screeches to a halt. The school year ist kaput. Over. Finished. Stick a fork in it, it's done! YIPPEE! That was a long one and a tough one, to be sure. But I survived year #17 in higher education. Celebrate me! I wish I could say that I don't have to go in...
YIKES! Where does the time go? I have been meaning to post about our Super Bowl feast all week, and here it is Thursday afternoon, and this is the first free moment I've had! In any case, I hope everyone enjoyed the big game on Sunday. I loathe sports, but even I thought that last touchdown was...
My friend June's birthday is two days after mine (so more than three weeks ago now). But because we were both going to be out of town for the big birthday weekend (mine was on a Friday, hers was Sunday), we decided to celebrate mine the weekend before and hers the weekend after. But before we could...
I skipped the market last Saturday to participate in a regional open house/farm tour event. There was one farm in particular that I was quite keen to see. The gal who sells cheese at the market told me about Essex Farms and all of the neat things that they produce there. When she mentioned homemade...
