To avert inner-office strategic hoarding of the Cherry Flavor and Vanilla Flavored Tootsie Roll Fruit Midgees after the semi-annual candy-run last week, I finally tracked down a distributor and am purchasing around 2,000 pieces of candy (roughly 30 pounds) at a cost of 5.5¢ per piece including shipping. I don’t know why Tootsie Roll Industries…
One of the weekly traditions in my life, the family get-together of four generations, rolled around again today and it was our turn to provide the food, meaning the kitchen was a flurry of activity for three or four hours as the dishes were prepared. The menu was set as follows: Main Dish 1: A…
Dinner tonight consisted of bow tie basil pesto pasta. The recipe included pine nuts, garlic, fresh basil leaves, parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, Parmesan cheese, and farfalle. It was very good; we both enjoyed it a lot. I imagine it would even be good cold in a packed lunch, but that is just a hunch.…
Continuing on their quest for the perfect cupcake, my mom and Aaron were cooking up a storm in the kitchen tonight making what turned out to be an amazingly fantastic chocolate and peanut butter cupcake filled with cream peanut butter and layered with melted liquid milk chocolate. Here are some pictures of the work in…

I love lemon cake, as you learned in the post about Duncan Hines trying to break my heart when we stopped eating it because of the trans fats. I’m working from the home office tonight, responding to all of your comments and submissions, and Aaron comes in to tell me he is making lemon cream…
Last Thursday, we had a homemade balsamic chicken pizza with Ricotta cheese and sautéed onions; an original creation thanks to our dinner guest!
As part of their plan to completely derail all dietary restraint, Jocelyn and Aaron plotted against me today. The result was the baking of two distinct styles of delicious cookies; one a white chocolate oatmeal cookie with cranberries and the other a white chocolate oatmeal cookie with cherries.
Aaron and I got to be the lucky recipients of an original recipe creation by Jocelyn tonight. The amazing thing was, each serving had only 500 calories after measuring the ingredients and portion sizes.
Aaron decided to make a vanilla cake with strawberry drizzle, fresh blueberries, roasted peaches, and whipped cream for our guests from Ohio and it was enjoyable. I got a serving of it tonight and took a picture of it with my iPhone. The recipe came from a cookbook I picked up at Borders that specialized…
