Blueberry muffins remind me of very early morning before basketball practice in college, when I would still be a little tipsy after wine tasting until 3am. I carried both dread and the freshman 15. Those were not the days. Luckily, I quit the team, shrunk to normal proportions, got laid often, experimented with drugs and [...]
Last night, spur of the moment, my gorgeous gentleman lover stumbled upon Dave Matthews Band tickets. I’ve never been to one of his concerts before, and while not fanatical, I do enjoy his music. Unfortunately, the concert was an hour away and it was cold and rainy but it didn’t stop his die hard fans [...]
It’s the golden rule of baking to follow directions precisely — I ventured off from this Food & Wine golden cupcake recipe in order to spike the goods. These cupcakes were great, not extremely rum tasting but hit the sweet spot. The frosting was fluffy and reminded me of wedding cake, sweet and airy. [...]
And I thought I’ve heard it all. Martha Stewart’s favorite cupcake is the cosmo cupcake from Happy Cakes : Vodka-soaked cranberry cupcake with lime-infused buttercream . I can’t find this recipe anywhere, and I don’t even think it looks particularly good. I just love the fact that this cupcake is spiked. I plan on [...]
I was at the public market earlier, dazed and confused as usual, when a hefty men in a sunny blue shirt got right up in my face. He definitely had empanada’s for lunch, the grease still smeared on his lips, the spicy mayo clinging to his shirt. In a gurgled growl he said, "smile."
WTF? [...]
Whenever I smell vanilla, I am transported back to the island of Moorea. 16 years old, the deepest darkest tan on a virginal little body, licking an ice cream cone and channeling Lolita . The sweet nature of Tahitian vanilla beans changed plain ice cream into royal decadence. When I returned home, imitation [...]

“So what do you do for living?” - this is a horrible question. It is prescribed fodder. Let’s be honest, most are merely using it to feign interest to get in your good graces or in your pants. I have a difficult time explaining how I make money. People assume that because I don’t commute [...]
Cheesecake isn’t necessarily easy to make, but this Pecan and Salt Caramael Cheesecake is worth the effort. I tried this recipe instead of my usual apple pie for Thanksgiving a couple years ago and it’s sweet and salty tango still dances in my mouth.
My advice, buy a good springform pan and follow the directions explicitly. [...]
I’ve been craving cupcakes for a while now - the old school vanilla version with plenty of frosting. I’ve been searching for the perfect recipe and believe I’ve found it lingering on the Joy of Baking site.
Vanilla Cupcakes:
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup [...]
