I was talking to my sister a little while ago about how I think it would be funny if we had the girls try lemons and take photos of their reactions. So this week we did just that. Then it just turned into everyone eating lemons and shooting their reactions. If you have followed this…

Made cake, wanted to plate, here’s the recipe. Hope you enjoyed that little poem. Molasses Cake: 1/2 lb (226g) Unsalted Butter 2 3/4 C (345g) AP Flour 1 1/2 C (348g) Light Brown Sugar 1/4 C (100g) Molasses 8 Large Egg Yolks 2 tsp (4g) Garam Masala 1 tsp (6g) Baking Soda 3/4 tsp (3g)…

This recipe is the perfect example of, “lets throw in a bunch of stuff I have in the fridge  in a pot and make it taste good.” I knew I wanted to do a braised stew but the Guinness®™© was an after thought that turned out to be a great addition. So next time you…

The only problem with recipe testing is getting sick from eating too many cookies. You always get told when you are younger don’t eat too many snacks or you’ll get sick! Nope, I could eat two boxes of twinkies and 80 pixie sticks and then run around like maniac for eight hours and be fine….

Five final days in Portland. Abby is working on some new cookie recipes, got to hang out with some good friends one last time, and my sister flies in tomorrow morning to join us on the drive back. We got a little bit of snow today but nothing really sticking. I keep checking the weather…
