Kids don’t sell this on the corner….

I’m really starting to embrace the idea of cocktails on my blog…it certainly has made afternoon laundry time far more fun! Oh who am I kidding…I’m not doing laundry but I was thinking about doing it (and it’s the thought that counts…right up to the point where you don’t have clean underwear). :P While some people are getting slammed with snow as of late we have been on a warming trend and the yellow ball called the sun has actually been visiting the Seattle area (perhaps it’s on vacation). If the sun is out I either want ice tea or limeade (I like lemonade too but I really like limeade). And since it’s tax time…I want my limeade to be spiked. :) Key lime is one of my favorite flavors in life so I figured I would make a key lime-limeade this time around. Other than the not so awesome task of juice little tiny limes it was the way to go. I love the extra little kick of tart that it adds. And when you add the Key Lime Pie Vodka (yes it’s a real thing…and … [Read more...]

Sunday is Easter. Wow. Not prepared for that AT all. Are you? Some people asked how do people steal content. Here is a great article by I Am Baker that talks more about the Facebook pages I was talking about. We were talking cooking/baking fears on Facebook this weekend. Most people said baking with yeast? Do you agree or do you fear something else? Ever notice that the people who tell you that the past is the past are the ones who do the crappiest things? And you are to forgive them? Would you say that to someone living next to a sex offender? Oh he/she doesn’t need to register…go let your kids play with them…the past is the past. Yeah, right. Here is an even better idea then telling people they have to forgive and forget the horrible crap you did…don’t do it. Stop being a crappy person that is impossible to respect due to your actions. How about that? Same thing goes for those who always complain they don’t have money but then you see them check themselves in at the … [Read more...]

Not around much in the food blogging world this week….crazy busy week but crazy good. Don’t worry next week I have nothing and can sit around and talk food…and make food. These are a great appetizer that is a spinoff of my Blue Cheese Cheesecake with Pear Onion Jam I made years ago. If you are saying ewww gross…I can assure you that savory cheesecake is wonderful. And when spread on crackers it’s a fun way to serve a cheese spread. And it classes things up. :D This recipe originally was for a magazine article that ran the story but never paid me. So thanks for that. It’s my fault because they stiffed me before and asked me to do another story telling me check was in the mail. So I figure I will put the recipe up for you all to enjoy since I never got compensated!!! … [Read more...]

Have Mercy…

So I’ve been feeling bad lately about my lack of cooking. When MDP and I first started dating I used to cook all the time. Then he made the mistake of showing me he can cook too. :) First it started with breakfast on Sundays…now he is pretty much in charge of weekend breakfast. And more and more he has taken over dinner duty as well. Not because I don’t want to but because my hand acts up and cooking/baking can sometimes flare it up worse. But guilt sunk in along with the fact that for once I had a Friday night and Saturday free. So I told myself I wanted to make him something that took a little time and showed I cared so I went for a Flemish Beef and Beer Stew (I was rebelling against all the Irish Stew made this week). I’ll post the recipe in another post because it was fantastic. Yes it took 5 hours but that was mostly just cook time. And then I decided that since my hand was feeling good and he is always in charge of breakfast that I would go all out for that as well. I … [Read more...]
