So as you read this I will have no internet. Oh, the horror. Sure, the service interruption is only for a few hours. And it's moving day so I shouldn't be on the computer anyway. But. No internet? No blog reading? How will I cope? By 10am I'm goi...

I thought I should give you all a way of dealing with that uneaten chocolate left in your kids' trick-or-treat pumpkin. Or, you know, the leftover snack-sized bars that didn't get taken by trick-or-treaters. *Crickets* You ate them all? Don't fee...

What is Cassis, or creme de cassis, anyway?  There was no ingredient list on the bottle.  I found this explanation via the web, my new source for all things baking related.  It's made of the juice of blackcurrants*, or in Latin: Ribes ni...

What is a better way to start fall than with a nice fresh batch of ginger cookies - vegan ginger cookies, that is.

I love the name of these cookies!  Conjures up a lot of image, eh?  Good images, not-so-good images.  Is it "Dirty-Girl Scout-Cookie" or is it "Dirty Girl-Scout Cookie"?  Hum, I'll leave that up to you!  :)Here's a sh...

Can you believe that it is already time for the 12 Weeks of Cookies?  Hello?  Where did September go?  Are there really only 12 weeks until Christmas?  Crazy!  Tonight, I am so happy that it is fall.  I was running errands tonight, the sun was going down, and I made a wrong turn.  I...
