When I rolled out this challenge, I said that I loved Christmas-time but found it stressful.

God, do I feel sterotypical doing this: here I am, blogging about an interview on blogging. I just got off the phone with a Syracuse journalism student (I don’t want to name her, because I didn’t ask if I could) doing a profile on Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, the author of Cookin’ in the ‘Cuse. I link […]

Natasha Li Pickowicz, Arts Editor for the Ithaca Times, included me in a round-up of local food bloggers (see below). Yay!

The promo from Twinkie Chan’s MySpace site for her latest auction. I’m a bit obsessed with Twinkie Chan ‘s work (here too) right now after seeing some of her cupcake pins on eBay. Last time I checked, the bidding pushed the price to $40+; her scarves were in the $200-$300 range (I think). Her stuff […]

Banish carrot sticks from here! Shun the dull and humdrum treats. Keep this vessel filled with sweets!” — Sadie the Werewolf wishes you a terrific Halloween!
