I went to high school with a guy named Rhett…Rhett was a nice guy, and a good guy, and had a phone number I will never forgot. To make sure that number doesn’t become the next 867-5309, I won’t share all of it with you, but the last four digits spelled out S-N-O-B. For some […]
So, up until this point, my husband has managed to escape any real significant embarrassment in my stories. Oh, I have talked about how we met, and his less than adventurous culinary tastes. I may have mentioned a drunken party foul or two, and I DID post that picture of him in yellow tights. But […]
We all have them. Skeleton’s in our closets….It could be the wild Spring Break in Cabo, or the weekend in Las Vegas that you don’t quite remember. Perhaps you were the one that put soap in the town’s water fountain just before the Christmas parade, or pulled the fire alarm at your graduation ceremony. Maybe […]
Avocados are my favorite fruits. Now, if you are like most people, I know what you’re thinking: “Avocados aren’t fruit. They can’t be fruit. Fruit is sweet. They must be vegetables, mustn’t they?” Actually, no. And yes. You see, there are so many theories, opinions, and disciplines involved, that depending on whose viewpoint you are […]
The Holidays are a time for making merry, celebrating what we believe, and practicing our traditions. Whether that means going Christmas caroling, lighting a Menorah, or playing Mary in the church Nativity scene, we all have some sort of festivities in which to partake this time of year. This is also when many […]
The capacity for being sneaky has existed for as long as mankind. The only being with the ability to think beyond its instinct brings with it the power to choose mischief over conscientiousness, naughty over nice, and chocolate over vanilla. The question of whether or not people are inherently good, or inherently bad is as old as the question of birth […]
Boys, don’t run off yet. We will mention bar food, beer and other booze in this article. I also mention hockey, but don’t get too excited about that. For as many times as I have baked cupcakes, eaten cupcakes, and written about cupcakes, I realize that I have not actually included any recipes for cupcakes. I […]
Pies…..Whoopie Pies. But since I got your attention, you may as well read a little further, right? Since you are here and all. In the Northeast, they are called Whoopie Pies. The theory is that Amish cooks would spoon the dollops of leftover cake batter into little globs, and bake them to test the temperature […]
Have you ever watched Bridezilla? Those girls are CRAZY! I don’t know how most of them managed to find a mate. Threat of physical harm or some other coercion must have been at play. I guess it’s possible, but unlikely, that they were kind, civil ladies before they got engaged, then turned suddenly into the […]
Okay, so this is the last posting involving cupcakes for a while–I swear. But they were so cute, I had to. This was my baby sister’s baby shower last weekend. As all parties in Corpus Christi should be, this one was sea themed….I did four different cupcakes: Pistachio with Almond Buttercream and topped with luster […]
