There’s this common knowledge that you have to be pretty exact with your measurements when it comes to baking. I’ve often heard people say they don’t like baking because you have to follow the recipe exactly or else it doesn’t come out right. It’s true, if you put too much of one ingredient in, or [...]
My favorite thing about fall is the baked goods, especially when I get to make them. Baking to me has always been tops on my list of things I like to do in my kitchen so it’s no surprise that I spent the majority of yesterday with my mother’s recipe and one of Maris’ spread [...]
Did you know that every seven years your taste buds change? And that you can develop new allergies? Apparently your body goes through a cycle. I believe it–I used to hate cooked fish, couldn’t even smell it without getting nauseous–up until this year when I started eating it. Now I love it! I also used [...]
For the past week my parents have been in town which means that I have cheated a whole ton on this being Vegan thing. In fact, I basically put it aside and let myself eat what I wanted–lamb, grilled cheese, clams, ice cream. I’m hopping on the bandwagon once again with a freezer full of [...]

One thing I was not prepared for when I arrived down in New Orleans was the food. I had heard about the crawfish and the alligator but I figured that my eating habits wouldn’t change that drastically while down there. Boy, was I wrong. About a few days into the trip Heather and I started [...]
This post is part of the Best of 2009 Blog Challenge hosted by Gwen Bell. December 16, 2009: Tea of the Year. If there’s one thing the Moroccans eat its bread. A whole TON of it. If there’s one thing they drink? Mint tea. It’s what they affectionately call their Moroccan Whiskey. The very first [...]
December 2nd: Best Restaurant Moment This was hard. So hard, that I had to go onto facebook and look back at my pictures to remember if there was a particular moment in a restaurant that really stood out. Having spent the majority of the past year in New York City, you can imagine just how [...]
