This post is abbreviated from the original, found here. The Reverend Horton Heat once said, “I live my life on a layer of ice” and indeed, in my estimation, this is the key to a good martini of any sort, but most especially the Bombay Sapphire.

Retro Recipe Challenge #4: Fall Favorites Round-Up
“Welcome, everyone, to the Junior League’s ‘Cats in Trees Benefit Dinner.’ As you probably know, cats getting stuck in trees has reached epidemic levels in our community, diverting our firemen from their primary task. Just last week, a church, a hospital, and a convent all burned down while the Fire Department was busy getting Queenie […]
Retro Recipe Challenge #5: Boozy Holiday
I look forward to the holidays each year — baking, listening to Christmas carols, sending out holiday cards — but I also find them stressful.

Twinkie Chan: Cooking Up Delicious Wearables
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 […]
Mashed Butternut Squash
UPDATED! See below! I love butternut squash, but don’t think I’ve ever mashed it before. Aside from being exceedingly simple, it has a lovely flavor — particularly if you enhance it with salt, pepper, and butter. It’s also very good for you: 1 cup of squash cubes has only 60 calories and no fat (of […]
