Late October is a great time for food…between harvest season, the onslaught of pumpkin everything, Oysterfest, and widely available candy corn, there is much deliciousness to be had. Late October also brings Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights.

I don’t give a fig
Its been a long week. (I know, it’s Monday.) I’m tired. I have a grumpy. So even though it is still only October, its officially holiday baking time! Okay, technically, nothing holiday-y about it, but I tend to associate figs with winter and snow and holidays and Christmas Club. My momma was telling me about … Continue reading

The MTA got shut down at noon yesterday and the only thing open in my neighborhood seemed to be bars, and while I’m not one to hate on a good day drink, it just didn’t seem quite appropriate. Plus I had just watched Final Destination and had visions of windows shattering with well aimed glass … Continue reading

Erin is a very special lady, so I wanted to make a very special boozy cupcake. But being me, I had to work late/take a … Continue reading
In-cake-tion

I’ve been pouring vodka into cupcakes for some time now, but these brilliant folks over at Cupcake Vineyards have taken it to a whole new level. The cupcake is inside the vodka! … Continue reading
Brunch: like a bunny in a top hat
Like actually in a top hat, not wearing one. As cute as that would be it wouldn’t really drive home my point which is that brunch is kind of magic. I don’t care what anyone says. Brunch is a really special event. As a kid, you don’t have brunch. You have sugar coated cereal before … Continue reading
