October 14, 2008

agnello/lamb This is my take on Michael Salmon’s recipe of the month, Roasted Lamb Lollipop Hors D’oeurves with Balsamic-Rosemary Glaze. I found the recipe on his site while researching for my chat with him. My picture is annoyingly blurry, but the meal was so tasty! The lamb shoulder I picked up turned out to be […]

Project Purse Cake

October 13, 2008

borsetta/purse I have an internal competition problem…I get an idea in my head, or someone asks me if I am able to do something, and my brain goes into overdrive and I have to do it. It’s just with me, myself, and I, no one else. This is a problem. I recognize that. I think […]

This was a lot of food for just me. If portioned appropriately (and without over serving), it could serve 4. Since I am one, it served me […]

Yellow Cake for New Grandmas

October 7, 2008

nonna/grandmother I don’t drink the water at work. Why? The water acts as a fertilizer! We have had a plethora teachers (and students) welcome wee ones into the world the last couple of years.
