Culinary Concoctions by Peabody
Where Baking and Life Collide...
While I usually write for the masses today I’m writing for just a few. They will know who they are right away. This post is for one of my favorite people who became free last week. Free from a toxin in his life that has plagued him for way too many years. So congrats on your freedom dear friend….the cupcakes I am sure are self -explanatory. :P Adapted from More From Magnolia: Recipes from the World-Famous Bakery and Allysa Torey's Home Kitchen … [Read more...]
First off congrats to #41 Lynn G for being the winner of my absent minded cookbook ordering. Please see the contact section of this blog and email me your address and get it out to you! Congrats. To those who are sad about not winning coming up next week (on the blog birthday) there will be some other opportunities. :) Also my first post is up over on Tablespoon. If you would like to show me some support over there that would be awesome. And for those who were wishing I was sharing my cocktail making skills of my youth you are in luck as pretty much every post over at Rock UR Party involves a cocktail of some sort. :D You know you love that. In other news while making this bread pudding I learned the valuable lesson of not putting whole Whoppers into the bowl when the whisk is at full speed. In good news I evented the Whopper comet…which could probably take an eye out. So if you don’t like someone invite them over and put Whoppers into your mixer when they are standing near … [Read more...]
The snow has all melted and I have a very sad and unhappy puppy. She’s more of a snow person than me…and that’s hard to do. As much as she normally hates to walk, she loves to walk in the snow. According to my pedometer we walked over 3 miles each day (which is a lot for a dog who never goes on walks) and just shy of 5 miles on the last day the snow was here. If we lived in snow country she would be the fittest dog…and I probably would be in much better shape as well. :) In case you are wondering she won’t go on walks now that the snow is gone. She’s a snot like that. Along with the snow went away the cold temperatures as well. And though 45F can’t be considered balmy, it’s not the kind of chill I go for. I like the kind of weather that once all cozy in bed you sit there a debate for a long period of time if it’s worth freezing your butt off to run to the bathroom. The kind that involves lots of layers and thick socks. The kind that invokes cooking stews or soups. … [Read more...]
I’m sure you have them in your life, especially if you are on Facebook. I have more of them in my life than I would like. Attention seeking drama queens. These are the people in your lives who leave you messages on your phone that say “the most horrible thing has happened, call me”. But then don’t tell you. And you call them back and you can’t get ahold of them (so you panic) and when you do get ahold of them it turns out to not really be anything. They are the people on Facebook who write,” headed to hospital pray for me”. Then all these people jump on and say OMG what’s wrong…and half the time the person never comes back and tells. The ones who say they “had the worse day ever” and you ask why and they say “I can’t tell”. Really? And then there are the relationship drama queens. My least favorite of them all. I don’t know about you but several of the people who are my friends on Facebook I’ve never met in person or if I did it was briefly, and the … [Read more...]
