On the second of every month this year, I’m going to be asking you, my loyal readers, to do something. It’s nothing that will drastically change your life in any way, or your financial situation, but it will help others. And potentially, in some cases (like this month) help to save a life. Every month […]

When I was a kid, I loved Winnie the Pooh. I named my childhood cat Tigger when we got her (I was around 5 or 6), and she wasn’t even orange! I just loved Winnie the Pooh that much. I still have to say, the vintage old school Pooh art is just adorable, and it […]
Another WWII food rationing poster, this one is so cute I love it! … Another Military Monday comes around. I was so inspired by the previous vintage war posters I used a few weeks ago for Military Monday that I decided to use some more. Thanks to Eat Local Challenge, which is where I found […]

Treat yourself.
Some people call Valentine’s Day “Single’s Awareness Day.” I don’t really know why single people would get bent out of shape over Valentine’s Day- it’s about love. Not just romantic love, but familial love, love of friends, and love of yourself. If you’re single on Valentine’s Day instead of feeling bad, go buy yourself something! […]

Herb & garlic “white” macaroni ‘n’ cheese.
I am a huge macaroni & cheese fan. I just love it. Especially with bread crumbs on top, and I love broccoli in it too. But even though I have quite the macaroni & cheese recipe collection (like this one, and this one, and then there’s this one), I am always looking for new ways […]

Mardi Gras is […]

“Waiter, there’s fungi in my risotto!”
Before I get started talking about fungus, I wanna say how much I appreciate all my readers and fans. There’s no smooth transition between talking about fungi and my fans, or vice versa, so I won’t even try. I just wanted to tell you all that I really do appreciate you, every single one of […]
White balsamic tart with fresh berry topping courtesy of Bon Appétit … In case you haven’t been keeping up for the past 34 weeks, here at Cupcake Rehab every Monday is Military Monday. My dear friend Yoyo got me started on it when she asked me to participate with her in May of ’09 and […]
