Not too long ago I acquired yet another baking book. It’s called 1 dough, 100 cookies by Linda Doeser. I hadn’t baked any of the cookies in the book until today because I couldn’t make up my mind on which recipe to try. I figured chocolate chip cookies with cinnamon would be a safe and [...]

Apple Pie
October 14, 2009
Procrastination takes the form of the desire to bake. In my case, I baked an apple pie yesterday using the recipe found on the Joy of Baking website, which I believe is from a Rose Levy Beranbaum book. Thus far, every recipe I’ve made from the Joy of Baking website and the few recipes from [...]
The weekend of gorging
October 12, 2009
Well, I’m almost positive I gained at least 15 pounds this weekend. I’ve eaten so much I’m kinda sick of looking at food…well, not really haha. Unfortunately, because I ate so much, and drank so much too, my brain is a little groggy so I will only copy the recipes and post pictures of what [...]
Pre-club dinner and the Thanksgiving prep continues
October 11, 2009
Okay so maybe sometimes I can be a little ambitious when it comes to cooking and baking. Because this weekend my sister is in town for Thanksgiving, and because our friend is celebrating her birthday this month, and because another friend requested food from my kitchen, I planned a small dinner party. A bit of [...]
Countdown to Thanksgiving…the stuffing continues
October 9, 2009
My stuffing, I was told, is too sweet. I’m reheating it again and I’ve added two more potatoes (to soak up some of the sweetness) about 20 more olives and a tsp more of capers as well as half a bottle of beer (Corona). God, I hope it turns out.
Simon says, “Eat amazing sushi.”
October 9, 2009
On this soggy, gray, and wet day, my mom, my sisters, and I decided we wanted to have all-you-can-eat sushi. I’ve been to Sushi Star (at the corner of College and Spadina, next to the Red Room) about 3 or 4 times in the past and I can say that the food is pretty decent. [...]
Countdown to Thanksgiving
October 7, 2009
The Stuffing. It’s probably the second most important item on the menu after the enormous bird. I’ve tried making my mother’s stuffing and I can’t seem to get it done the way she does. So this year, since I’m hosting turkey day dinner at my place, I’m making the stuffing and I’m using a recipe [...]
More salad love
October 7, 2009
I can’t express how satisfied I feel after eating a massive bowl of lettuce, assorted veggies and a handful of protein. Today I made shrimp salad again but instead of drizzling the salad with oil and balsamic vinegar I made a dressing with mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and fresh ground pepper. I found that [...]
Pita Burgers
October 7, 2009
I was craving a nice healthy custom made burger last night. In my opinion, these are the best kinds of burgers because you can add whatever the hell you feel like adding to a mound of ground beef (or pork or chicken). Unfortunately, when it came time to dress my burger I realized I didn’t [...]
