Dulce de Leche-Nutella Swirl Loaf Cake

June 26, 2011 6 Comments

There are still a few things Dan and I need to do to fully recover from our Great Beach Robbery — getting new driver’s licenses, for example — but everything is closed on Sundays, so we’ve been having a pretty lazy day so far. We slept in until the hungry meows of our kitties could…read more »

Dulce de Leche

So, Dan and I just got back from a week in Costa Rica. We’re a little more tan, a little more relaxed, and approximately $1200 poorer. No, that’s not how much our trip cost…it’s the combined value of all the stuff that got stolen from us on the beach at Playa Grande, Montezuma. Yeah. Don’t…read more »

So, my friend Spike and I have been having intense gchat conversations about what we can do with all the ground beef we’ve got on our hands.  We each saw family-sized packs of ground beef on sale at the grocery store a couple weeks ago and couldn’t resist getting in on the deal.

Limoncello

June 5, 2011 3 Comments

OK, so the thing about summer is that it’s so frickin’ hot that I never really have any motivation to cook anything. Who wants to stand in front of a hot stove/oven when it’s 95 and humid? I mean, yes, I have A/C, but just knowing that the air outside is thick enough to swim…read more »
