Sweet Things (enhanced)

Shortly after Sweet Things was published in the iBookstore I decided to make an enhanced version and add video.   I was inspired by my camera,  the Canon 5D Mark II, since it makes beautiful videos. Of course I had to make the plain old Kindle version first.   Once that was tackled I started working on [...]

I’ve been watching the old Daphne’s Greek Food space for a while.  It was transforming but into what?   800 Degrees Pizza?   Sounds cool but will it be good?   Finally there were clues.   I saw this post of LA Eater and this one at LA Times and got excited.   I’ve never been to Umami burger but [...]

Fig Cake

So I’m back from my trip.  Before I can settle down and get back to work I had to bake something.  Went to the farmer’s market today and the Figs were outrageous.  So beautiful!   Peaches too.  And tomatoes.  And avocados.  I can’t believe how lucky we are here in California to have such a bounty [...]


Marshmallow Bars

I’ve been in Nags Head, NC with the fam this week.   I got an itchin’ to bake.  Yeah I know it’s the beach and it’s hot and there’s sand everywhere but I gotta bake something anyway.   It’s relaxing for me….. I took an 11 mile bike ride this morning.  On the way back I stopped [...]
