basketball and bagels

While I do love watching basketball, it's important to me to have something on which to nosh during the games.

snap to it

Sausage and potatoes. My husband and I recently had a lively debate about the meaning of the term "cold snap."

the ooey-gooey factor

Mozzarella meatball bake. It's no secret that I have very strong, often very strange preferences when it comes to food. I think I confound my husband just about every day in that way.

internally iced

Cream Cheese Swirl Carrot Cake. When I worked at a bakery (which, in hindsight, was completely awesome), the only thing I disliked more than making pie crusts was making frosting.

And I made A LOT of frosting.

two firsts

Farro with fennel. I got brave and tried two previously untasted ingredients together...and I liked them both!

pokes and nudges

Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake. I have never experienced anything as simultaneously blissful and weird as feeling our baby move around inside me.

know any good cordwainers?

Chicken cobbler. Does anyone have the title of "cobbler" anymore? Or are they simply called shoemakers now?

I can cook. I can bake. I cannot, for the life of me, make a decent pancake or waffle from a mix.

I'm a big fan of many limited time only flavors of things like cereal, candies, and coffee beverages, and I wonder if part of the appeal is that they're not available any and every time I have a desire for one.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all.
