I’m a big fan of tea, and a bigger fan of scones. If you’ve been a reader of this site for any length of time, you’ve probably read one of my many scone posts. So it’s only natural that in honor of the big wedding of Prince William of Wales & Catherine Middleton that is […]

You’re so levain, you probably think this post is about you.
I have always wanted to make my own bread. Exclusively. I’m always envious of people who make their own bread, shunning all supermarket plastic-wrapped breads. First of all, unless they have a bread machine, where do they get the time? Even with a bread machine, it’s time consuming to a degree. And second, way to […]

Nobunny knows Easter better than Cupcake Rehab.
I mean are you kidding? Bunnies, eggs, chicks and all things cute are my specialties. This Easter had a sad spin on it, given the events of last week. But I tried my hardest to make it as nice & happy as possible, complete with pretty little cupcakes & desserts. The cake pops I made […]
Ra-ra-rugelach.
Thank you all for your kind words & sympathy. While I’m back posting recipes, they’re recipes I had made and written up last week before my uncle’s passing. So my heart still hurts, and of course none of us are “over it”… but yes, I’m “back” to posting. My uncle loved to cook and loved […]
My Uncle Pat, when he was in the Navy during the Korean War .. This week’s Military Monday is dedicated to the memory of my uncle, who passed away last week. May he rest in peace, along with the other departed soldiers, from any & every war and era and age. They deserve so much […]
… My wonderful, artistic, handsome, smart, talented and most important- kind- great uncle Pat passed away this week. He was an amazing man, with strength and fortitude I could never dream of having through an illness that was long and hard and draining. I will miss him so very, very much. He gave me so […]
Awesome red, white & blue cookies from Lick The Bowl Good … I think the words on those cookies say more than anything I could write here. They sum it up perfectly.

Malt shop egg roll.
What a combination, right? Malt shops & egg rolls. I can’t help it, it’s just what I thought of when I made these. Eggs are a big part of Easter. It goes back to the fertility rites of the spring in the “pagan” religions, the ‘egg’ obviously symbolizing new life, and is continued in the […]
Jive turkey.
I have a confession to make, and it will probably seem weird. This is the first time I ever ate turkey in any other capacity than the sliced off pieces coming from the breast of a whole bird that was cooked on Christmas or Thanksgiving. *insert gasping sound here* I have never eaten turkey bacon […]
