The deadline for RRC 7 has been extended to Sunday, June 10 at 11:59pm EST. All the more time for to whip up that ’76 recipe for goulash that’s been lying around.

…and we’re exhausted. Seriously, Russia kicked my ass. Details & pics to come!

RRC#7’s deadline for submission is in two weeks (Sunday, June 3 at 11:59pm EST); I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with! We’re in NYC right now, and visited L&B’s Spumoni Gardens yesterday with my cousin Matt, his wife Catherine, and their new daughter Fiona (who is just adorable. I know everyone says […]

Hey! Guess what? Shane & I are going to Russia! (In less than a month!) And I can’t decide if I’m more excited about seeing an embalmed Lenin, visiting a city that inspired this song (translation), or being “forced” to eat samples on the Red October Chocolate Factory tour.b The trip is also the inspiration […]

A Lemon Vanilla Cupcake bon bon from Temper Chocolates. “Lemon zest and vanilla beans infused in a white chocolate ganache over a creamy graham cracker ganche, enrobed in milk chocolate.” According to Don’t Mess With Our Chocolate, the FDA has extended their comment period to May 25!
