As a belated follow-up to the Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2010 post, I’m dedicating this entry to the fruits of my labor circa December 2009. To date, the Penguin Cupcakes I made last Christmas have been my favorite baking project, albeit the most laborious. That means blog …
Happy New Year! I’ve also been a bit sick the last couple of days, so I thought I’d spend the time updating here instead of circulating my germs in a new baking or crafts project. The holidays are an infamous time for reveling in buttery, …
2014’s Holiday Bake-A-Thon wasn’t as busy as previous years have been. I didn’t have time to do a lot of research and test runs of new recipes, so I ended up making some crowd pleasers from past holiday seasons, including Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies, Green Tea …
In thinking about some of my posts from the last year, I realized that I have really just gotten all about the food and less about…anything else! Time to sit, reflect, and put pen to paper has definitely dissipated greatly but I fully intend to …

It is literally too cold to do anything but go from my home to work to home. Anything beyond that requires too many layers of clothing and too much discipline. I did, however, manage to get myself out to play some pick-up basketball last night …
Here’s another update from my Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2012 – I found this recipe on Martha Stewart. I chose these because lemon is a great compliment for tea, though there is no actual tea in these cookies themselves. The cookies themselves were good and really easy to …
Lingie sent me a FANTASTIC link about writing earlier today. Please read it, especially if you write. I was totally inspired to flail my fingers away helplessly across a keyboard after driving 90 minutes in rush hour traffic to a restaurant my mom picked for …
Merry Christmas, everyone! As of yesterday, I am proud to say that I have completed the Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2012 (*inserts shameless plugs from 2011, 2010, and 2009 here*). I may churn out a couple more things before the year is over, but will do so …
