TWD: Summer Fruit Galette

It’s Tuesday, time for more baked goods! =)

This week’s recipe, chosen by Michelle of Michelle in Colorado Springs, was the Summer Fruit Galette.  This was an amazingly simple yet delicious dessert to make, and has a lot of different options to change it up.  The basic premise is simple–pie crust, jam, crumbs, fruit, bake, custard.

I have the most amazing guy! =D

Prickly Pear Socks

My second pattern is up!  Link to PDF download on the sidebar.

Recently, I have become an absolute junkie for Sundara Yarns.  This yarn was the first shipment of my Seasons yarn club, and the colorway is called Prickly Pear.  I really like socks in this sort of style, with thin columns of different patterns.  I […]

I’ve had a busy couple of weeks lately, and haven’t been updating the blog perhaps as much as I should have been.  I baked these cookies a few weeks ago.  One night I just had a craving–I want cookies, I thought to myself.  I had all the ingredients for these, so I made them!
The recipe […]

TWD: Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler

After what happened the last time I attempted to modify a cobbler recipe, I decided to pretty much stick to what was written in this one. The results? Delicious!
I’ve never cooked with rhubarb before, and as I was peeling it, I thought to myself–who the hell first had the idea to throw this […]

Law Stuff

If you only come here for cupcakes and/or knitted items, you can probably just keep on moving for once =)
A couple of quick little legal tidbits–
As regular readers will know, I attended a California Bar Association conference last month on Entertainment & the Media.  One of the panels there was on law and virtual worlds.  […]

Cupcakes and Booze

That’s how my Mom labeled my recent trip home to Illinois.  I guess since almost a week has passed I should probably get around to writing about it!
July 1st marked my Dad’s 60th birthday, so my brother and I headed back home to spend some time with the family.  We started out the trip in […]

Scallops over Corn

I made an awesome dinner tonight, so I thought I’d share it with y’all.  It started when I saw a corn salad on a blog here, and decided to adapt it to my own purposes.  The scallops have a light dusting of coriander, and are lying on a cold corn salad.  I also got to […]

It’s Tuesday, so that means:

Pie!  Yum!
This week’s TWD was chosen by Amy of South in your Mouth.  (Recipe on her site, from this book, as always).  I am really glad she chose this recipe, because I’ve been meaning to try baking a pie but haven’t gotten around to it yet.  As y’all know, I’m a […]

TWD: Apple Cheddar Scones

I’m a little late this week, due to my traveling schedule, but better late than never!  This week’s TWD recipe was Apple Cheddar Scones, selected by Karina of The Floured Apron.   I was a bit put off by the fact that these are kind of out of season (I wonder if Karina is in […]
