Whenever I hear of someone talk about baking my mind instantly goes to the part of Kitchen Confidential where Adam calls Tony wanting him to feed the bitch or she will die. I also instantly presume everyone who bakes constantly is some evil genius hell bent on world domination with tangled hair, smell of a […]
Before you think I have flipped my lid, got insane, forgot my medication, and am back to running in traffic give me a second to explain the reasoning behind this dish. I have a close friend who is a children librarian and every year she hosts a program which the theme is gross foods. The […]
Every year one of my good friends has a fish fry. Basically it is a bunch of guys drinking beer, smoking cigars, expanding on our stories of conquests (although lately it seems all they want to talk about is what their kids have been doing which fyi is boring as hell for the single kidless […]
I wish my whiteboard had a reminder beep like my Outlook decides to do to me every time I am about to miss a meeting. This way when it is getting close to a deadline I am not once again frantically running around like a madman trying to throw something together.

The ice cream turned out very nicely but be warned it is a very dark and heavy ice cream. Feel free to play around with […]

The inspiration for this is from David Lebovitz’s experiment with this (click here to read his entry). I was going to try and use and experiment with mascavo sugar but unfortunately […]
A meyer lemon for those who have never had one is basically a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange. Taste wise a meyer lemon is sweeter and less acidic than a normal lemon.
Growing up I was obsessed with lemon ice especially the kind you could get in your grocery store that comes in […]
