In the Kitchen with iPhone

July 31, 2007

I love my iPhone. Honestly, if Apple designed and released a toaster I’d be first in line, but in all seriousness this phone is a fantastic gadget with countless uses beyond making phone calls and listening to Mandy Moore’s fabulous new album while I’m walking to the T. Surprisingly, a [...]

Erin Cooks in Springfield

July 27, 2007

In celebration of The Simpson’s movie opening today (and for being one of those “lucky” kids who grew up watching The Simpsons way back in the 90’s) I give you the Simpsonization of Erin Cooks! I really like my hair! Obviously I should be a cartoon and not a human being.
I think [...]

Cookbook Review: The Tea Experience and White Chocolate Raspberry Bars

July 26, 2007

The Tea Experience, the latest publication from TeaTime magazine, offers a smashing array of recipes and images from tea rooms across the country that would make even the Queen herself drool (if Queens actually did such things). It’s a bit heavy on the Southern tea establishments (13 reviews to 5 actually) as the majority of [...]

Oatmeal Scones

July 21, 2007

My obsession with scones began last winter after spending an amazing weekend in Burlington at a fabulous Bed and Breakfast called The Willard Street Inn. Each morning we’d awaken to the smells of freshly baked breakfast treats and without fail I managed to eat my weight in their delicious scones.
My only other experience making [...]

Chipolte Tamale Pie

July 16, 2007

Ingrid Hoffman inspired me so much on Saturday that I promptly left the house after viewing her new program on the Food Network and picked up everything I would need to make the spicy Chipolte Tamale Pie. Unfortunately my local grocery store is Whole Foods so there isn’t a box of Jiffy Cornbread allowed [...]

Keri Russell Makes Out With Nathan Fillion and Kicks Jeremy Sisto to the Curb Pie

July 13, 2007

I was finally able to see Waitress yesterday afternoon. The film was adorable and no, not just because of Keri Russell’s hair. Nathan Fillion was his usual brutally hot and quirky self. Jeremy Sisto was appropriately terrifying and sinister, and Andy Griffin, Adrienne Shelly, and Cheryl Hines were wonderful comic relief. [...]

Fake & Bake

July 3, 2007

So now the “big thing” in the cooking world this week is making your own butter, which reminded me of a truly ridiculous PowerPoint that I made for a history class that I took in college.
My grandmother used to work at a living history museum called “The Norlands” where she portrayed a 19th century suffragist, [...]
