Dinner Time :)

So tonight I'm taking a break from making sweets...that's right, I cook, too :) The plan is risotto...chock full of chantrelle and crimini mushrooms, vidalia onion, peas, and plenty of thyme...I am soooooo excited. Jerry gets to taste my home cookin' at last haha! It will be so delicious. I think the plan next is either homefries, because let's be honest everyone, I do make the best...or maybe red flannel hash! It's the season, fo sho. ORRRRRR...butternut squash lasagna! I am 100 % starving, and also salivating....can't wait to start cooking xoxoxoxox

Pnut Butter Blossoms!!!!!

Today, i'm working. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I so do not want to serve people! However...Michelle (Bubbles!) and I are making cookies for the football-y stuff later :) We are going to make peanut butter blossoms! (for those of you who don't know...those are the pb cookies that have little hershey kisses nestled atop their golden brown peaks.) By request, of course...and I'm more than happy to oblige :-) Yay! Nothing better than baking on a chilly day!

4-EVA

Holy crap, everybody...it's been forever! January 16th was the last entry! I am disappointed to inform you that I'm no longer baking full time. However, I am pleased to report that I have indeed still been at the old mix-and-whip. I've had a request for key lime pie! Little out of season, maybe, but indeed one of my favorites to make, and of course, EAT! I always make the standard graham cracker crust, but I use cinnamon-sugar grahams, add toasted coconut and ground, toasted almonds to it...with, of course, plenty of butter :) Oh, happy little pie. I can't wait!

Also, my birthday is less than two months away, so I am planning my birthday bash extravaganza and i'm very excited about coming up with a crazy cake!!! I'm thinking red velvet with the marshmallow icing...I keep trying to broaden my personal taste horizons, but it just keeps coming back to that dense red luciousness with its fluffy teal marshmallow frosting cushion resting daintily on top. You can't beat the color contrast either. It's striking. Last year was the breakfast-for-dinner bash, complete with my veggietastic homefries, banana and zucchini bread french toast, and bloody marys. One of my dear friends (Alyssa!) made my cake, which was a decadant black forest cake, dripping with dark, sweet cherries and bejeweled with sparkling tufts of whipped cream. YUM! I am now going to get a snack...thinking about all this has awakened my desire for lunch.

Well, adieu for now friends....more very soon! <3

Ahoy from...ah....yup, still Burlington

Hey there everyone! It's been awhile...still baking o'course, but this time at Fresh Market Cheese Outlet Bakery on Pine Street...meaning I'm still in Burlington. AAAAAAAaaaaaagggggh! You know, one day I do plan to get on outta here. However, I do love my job. I get to work with awesome girlies who love to bake as much, if not more than I do! Cool peeps, creative freedom, elbow deep in cookie dough....(imagine very contented sigh....now!)

I'm working through some personal poopie as well at the moment, but have no fear! My sparkly joie-de-vie will prevail! Though, I would appreciate some happy vibes sent in my general direction if ya got any to spare...I love you all and I'll be back in the bake blog mode in a snap...promise!
