Eugene has been going through a cold and wet weather snap. Oh that’s right, I almost forgot… that’s called Winter. Weather has reared its head and will no longer tolerate mearly being a part of the background. Our antidote of choice- soup.
Roasted vegatable soups are a nice hand in hand compliment to [...]
This exploration of color certainly rode into town on the coat tails of my amazement with Jello play and color layering. Color on color, flavor with flavor.
My favorite pasta dough is actually a bastardization of pasta. It’s a generic hot water dough that I use to make homemade potstickers. It’s [...]
I was struck by a bolt of inspiration in the department of dessert making. In fact, I still have this lightening strike up in my current inspiration window- a magnificent jello monster that uses all the colors of the rainbow in combination with a creamed layer in between each.
It is stunning, and makes me [...]
I just found a Eugene supply for these smashingly cute tea bags… PassionFlower. I should have known that store owner Jewel Murphy would get her hands on these sooner or later.
They have a number of the tea ‘bags’ open in their store display (on a cute tree, perched as blossoms) so [...]
I’ve been mentally straddling the line of eating healthier for a good two months now. Sure I have a stock pile of excuses as to why I’m still on the fence. Unfortunatley I’m really enjoying shuffling through these excuses! Getting ready to go monastic in the new year = new you tradition [...]

Sweets and I finally remembered to catch the animated Boondocks on Adult Swim!
And what met our hungry eyes? Granddad’s restaurant venture, the Itis, home of the Luthor! A 2 lb burger with cheese, 5 slices of bacon, and served on Krispy Kremes instead of hamburger buns. My arteries shudder realizing that [...]

I recently found myself craving cute little muffins… which is really no new desire in my book. The odd part was I really wanted apple muffins.
I’ve always claimed to not be into cooked apples. I’ve only appreciated apple pie with Sweets’ offered bites.
This lack of desire over cooked apples would perplex [...]
I’ve loved making fortune cookies since I first laid eyes on instructions how to pinch these goodies into existence.
In my ceramic days I would make bright shiny raku fired cookies to hand out on Valentine’s Day, tucking little fortunes inside too.
This last weekend I took a class in making jewelry out of silver clay- [...]
