I’m a beginning preserver.
A beginner in that I learned how to put up jam only last year. More so, a beginner in that I don’t quite have a handle on realizing I have to eat what I’ve preserved.
The jars of green beans and peaches were a delightful surprise. However, the many [...]
For the first time in my life I’m a bit off put about the color of mango and saffron. However, for the sake of a tasty snow cone, I remind myself that I am confident of my snow’s origin. Good thing it rewards me for such meditations.
Alcoholic snow cones? You bet. [...]
I made myself a treat last week after my visit to the PSU farmers’ market: homemade butter layered with thin slices of truffles.
I topped the truffle butter with a piece of wax paper and stuck this in the freezer.
To use, take a warm spoon and shave off curls of the fragrant butter.
And that [...]
In addition to sushi, eggs over easy, and cheese, I have to add ice cream as one of those foods that I could absolutely live on non-stop. I mean really, is ice cream really any worse than a bowl of cereal for breakfast?
Ok, that was suppose to be a rhetorical question.
I’m wise to the [...]
I’ve been bookmarking interesting sounding drinks from my Extra Tasty! Drink of the Day subscription. It’s a great way to avoid my house unpacking!
While I do admit that there is more to a drink than its name (still shuddering over Red Headed Sluts, Jäger- yuck!), these ones are pretty fun, with a dash of [...]

Our vacation studio in Kailua was near perfect- just steps away from the beach, included wi fi, a near by restaurant and deli, fresh brewed coffee at our finger tips, and yet…
the proximity of island fruits was making me miss my blender dearly.
I love fresh fruit, don’t get me wrong, but succulent pineapples, soft papaya, [...]
I’ve been using fruit smoothies to get in my daily fruit. The standard drink when I come home from work is usually frozen strawberries with soymilk and vanilla, though I’ve found a fun way to shake things up a bit: adding carbonated water.
That extra glug of sparkling water adds a little zing to the [...]
I just ran into a new-to-me site courtesy of threadless.com called Extra Tasty. The graphics are clean and slick, the layout of the site clear, and with some great features; a winsome combination!
The front page sports a drink of the day, which also has an rss feed, of course.
Another cool [...]
Apple pie is one of those desserts I eat for the ice cream. Fortunately for me, this month’s Sugar High Friday theme of dairy lets me wallow in that desire.
I happen to be home sick and need something that can shoot through my stuffiness. I think my whipped cream dispenser and Sweet’s [...]
