O.K., so I've been a slacker lately on this blog. So sorry, but I recently began a new job, my grandmother came to visit, and my life has been going through big, fat changes. So I'm back...I think. In the next couple of writing bits, there are two things I'd like to talk to you …
Say Cheeeeeeeeese
Ahhhhh cheeeeeese. How does that joke by De Gaulle go exactly? How can you govern a country which has 246 different types of cheese...no...as many cheeses as days of the year...no wait...three hundred kinds of cheese...well, whatever. I think France actually has more than 300 types of cheese, but that's another article altogether. Our cheese …
COOKIES!!!
Strolling through Ballard on a sunny Sunday afternoon is one of the best things I've found to do in Seattle. Or at least one of the recent pastimes I've seemed to acquire on a consistent basis. It's that damn Cupcake Royale. Why? I have no idea. The tops of the cupcakes are flat, the bottoms …
Oh, Bright Orange Sheen, where have you been all my life? (Joke)

UglyRipe™–Bring Home the Flavah!
When I was little, I remember gathering with my family–whether at Nana's, Maw-Maw's or Aunt (aint) Clara Bo's (clerboz) house–to feast off of an immensely overpopulated dinner table of steak; rice & gravy; fried chicken; chicken & dumplin's; big, fat buttermilk biscuits; stewed potatoes; deliciously greasy, wilted green beens; and a plate of salt & …
Cook the Books!
What did you do this Saturday afternoon? Watch a little t.v.? Do a bit of shopping? Snuggle up on the sofa in your jammies with a good book and a bowl of hot tea? After grabbing a chocolate chocolate cupcake and a latte from Cupcake Royale, I headed up to Capitol Hill for a scrumptious …

Seattle Cheese Festival

Mmmmm…Easter
I love having friends that enjoy cooking and eating. There is just something magical that happens when fellow gourmands gather together in the kitchen and/or at the table to combine their common love of gastronomy. Last night, I spent Easter dinner with just that type of friends. This year was Samantha's turn to host the …
What’s the haps?
While I have not had the pleasure of dining out or creating masterpieces in as much as I’d like, I do have a few tales to tell regarding the past week. Last night, I did happen to dine out at the not-so-affordable (Where does The Seattle Times get off saying affordable while placing two dollar …
