First: I just ate almost half a pan of spoonbread. After I ate dinner. And I’ve also got banana cake in the oven. Why? Because. I’m turning 30 in three days.

Second: I love Mediterranean Deli so much, I wish they would move to Durham. Their pita is DELICIOUS, and it’s got that perfect stretchy, pliable [...]

This is a phrase that has become my mantra lately. Life hands me lemons, I chant “make lemonade…just…make lemonade” under my breath like a crazy woman. Like during mother’s day brunch service, when I dropped an entire gallon jug of milk into an open bucket of chicken stock and it splashed up all over me. [...]

apparently I mean “in about a month or so.” After the millionth spam comment I realized I should probably post something so it’s worth deleting those every day. Why do I get so much spam anyway? Is it because I grew up in the Caribbean? The spammers know that me Granny used to mek me [...]

Since I actually had a Sunday off, and Yoni and I were both working on his birthday, we decided to go to one of Celebrity Dairy’s dinners as an early birthday celebration.

Well, I had been holding off on posting until I’d gotten some decent photos of the food I’ve been making. But honestly? I am not a very good photographer, and I haven’t had much time or inclination to get better lately. A review in the paper made for a very busy weekend at work, and [...]

A while back, I tweeted about making a grapefruit yogurt cake, and got responses ranging from “sounds weird” to “that’s disgusting.” Since I’m easily influenced by others, I held off on making it until last night, when I realized that I still had both grapefruit and yogurt that needed to be used, SOON. Grapefruit is [...]

Well, there are several reasons for that. I’ve been sick for almost a week now, and although the constant nose-blowing, body aches, and fever are gone, I’ve still got a canker sore gone rogue that’s causing me the most immense pain. (Seriously, my mouth hurts so much I can’t even enjoy eating. And I can [...]
