geeky recipe and party ideas
I had the pleasure of exploring the 3 Howls Distillery in SODO a couple weeks back and trying some of their delicious spirits. (I’m a huge fan of their banana, blood orange, and rosemary vodkas!) Their spirits are made by geeks–the distillers have backgrounds in science and tech, and use […]
Vincent Price, as you may know, was an actor known for his many roles in horror films. What you may not know, is that he was also a cookbook author with his wife, Mary. Their book, “A Treasury of Great Recipes” has just been re-released as a 50th Anniversary edition, and […]
It’s late, you just got back from the ball, your Uber turned into a pumpkin, you’re exhausted and you’re HUNGRY. (Those tiny appetizers don’t fill anyone up.) What’s a girl to do? Make pumpkins into pumpkin bread and help yourself to a hearty slice before bed! The kaiser rolls is a […]

The pictures have been everywhere the last few days, and when I first saw them, […]
Last weekend I volunteered for Cupcake Camp, a benefit for Relay for Life. The event brought a variety of amateur and professional bakers together to create Disney-themed cupcakes. When I first heard the theme, Dole Whip was the thing that instantly came to mind. I knew we would be outside […]
I had the pleasure of sampling some of Barefoot Bubbly’s Prosecco the other day, and while I’m not one to turn down sparkling wine of any type, I was particularly excited about this one. Barefoot Bubbly is close to my heart: Mr. Geek and I had the pleasure of visiting […]
Whew! This month really flew by. I don’t know what happened, but here we are, about to enter May, and I didn’t get nearly everything I wanted done. But I DID make a lot of delicious treats from Lesley Stowe’s Desserts from My Kitchen! This book is gorgeous–you all know […]
