That's right, a girl...well more like a woman. A food loving, hockey loving, bacon loving woman! And I'm not talking about me. A while back now Kristen of Dine and Dish came up with an idea for veteran food bloggers to “adopt” a fellow food blogger who has been food blogging for less than a year. Who did I luck out getting? Rene of Pages, Pucks and Pantry. That's right, a hockey fan. And come to find out we have a lot more common than we knew. From our love of bacon to The Girls' Next Door. She owns more cookbooks than me(so jealous). Both our mother's are cancer survivors. And we like our Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese to be crispy on top. Rene is off to a great start with her blog. She updates it often. In various forms. She has what she calls Small Bites which tell little tidbits about things from what chefs are visiting the San Francisco area(she lives in San Jose) to toilet shaped ice cream bowls(can you imagine) to what coffee drinks Starbucks are currently … [Read more...]
Betcha can’t eat just one….
I'm sure this happens to you. Your friend tells you “you've gotta see this movie!” And then another person tells, almost everyone you run into says something about the movie. So you go and see the movie and you sit there thinking the whole time, “what the hell? This movie is lame, did I see the same movie as them?” Now right off the bat I will admit that I tend to like the “out there movies.” I am a huge fan of documentaries as I find real life far more fascinating than anything Hollywood could come up with. But it just seems more and more as of late the movies that I “have to see” are the least memorable of the year. This seems to happen with food blogs with me from time to time. People rave and rave and I check it out. And though it is nice or what not, it just doesn't do it for me. Of course I'm sure that is what people say about my blog. :P One such food blog(and here is where you will gasp in disagreement with me), David … [Read more...]
It’s fry time…..
In order to throw your diets off(no not really) Helen(my less evil twin as I like to call her) of Tartelette and I decided to co-host a Doughnut Event. Oh yeah! Bring it on!! We love anything with butter, flour, eggs and sugar but more so when deep fried and maybe drenched in caramel or toffee sauce! We know you have been craving some doughnut goodness and looking at all the countries around us, we can tell that there are lots of local specialties involving fried dough. We also realize that some of you are paying attention to their waistline this time of year, so we are okay with baked doughnuts, don¢â¬â„¢t make it a habit though, that will break our hearts! You don¢â¬â„¢t have to own a deep fryer to participate either, any form of pan frying can do (don¢â¬â„¢t go justify to your better half your latest appliance purchase and blaming it on us!!). Our only “requirement” is that your entry be a sweet one (plain, fruit filled or … [Read more...]
FYI
You aren't going to be able to see most of my pictures. My photo host has been down(all weekend and was suppose to be fixed on MONDAY!)and apparently all the competent employees are not working on the problem, just the morons. You are seeing some photos because my husband feeling my frustration put a few up on another host site. … [Read more...]
