This weekend I was away visiting my friends in Mendocino, pics from that to come. While i was staying with Sydnee & Ken I got to watch as Ken made this recipe. It’s strangely fascinating to watch someone else make something from my instructions. As promised here’s the recipe for the Banana Bar Bites from […]
Getaway
April 7, 2012 by
Spring Break for the kids at school and the adults that work there too. I’m in a sacred place far from the likes of partying spring breakers and girls ‘gone wild’ a spot in the ‘Emerald Triangle’ of California full of aging hippies, bikers, weed farmers, military types, and BnB’s. Of course I left the […]
Baked Sundays: Banana Bar Bites
April 2, 2012 by
I really have to apologize for going all ‘Food Porn” on my Baked Sundays posts, but here we are with another experiment that is almost perfect, but I need to verify the recipe works one more time before sharing it. My goal today was simple, bake something fresh with ingredients on hand, no trips to […]
Baked Sundays, a little early
April 1, 2012 by
Hola! So while I will be baking on Sunday, the site will be undergoing some background maintenance and I won’t be able to post tomorrow’s baking until Monday. And yes, I said a little early up top because, I have for you test 2 and 3 of the chocolate cake from last week’s BS. In […]
Misadventures in gluten-free baking
March 27, 2012 by
No, I am not going “Gluten-Free” or “GF” it ain’t happening. But I have friends with gluten issues from confirmed celiac, to people who just feeling better without gluten, so I’ve decided to see what’s involved in faking gluten. So far what’s involved is a lot of money! Baking gluten-free is fucking pricey. Ingredients from […]

Welcome to Baked Sundays, wherein I bake and share on Sunday. The photos at least you get today, the recipe was a first draft, so while you’ll get to see my chocolate/ginger/yogurt cake, and I get to eat it, you have to wait a bit to try it yourselves. Happy Baked Sunday!
Orange Loaf for Lionel
March 22, 2012 by
So, my buddy Lionel is a dessert man but he prefers the use of chocolate to be limited; he feels it’s overused in desserts, and he has a point. And it was a chocolate orange bread from Nigella Lawson, that got me thinking about an orange loaf, but I didn’t want a pound cake, or […]
Persian Kotlet
March 20, 2012 by
Kotlet is a Persian dish made from ground meat, mashed potato, onion, herbs and spices. It’s damn tasty, and dead easy to make. If you can make a meatball, you can make this, it’s that easy. It’s also an easy way to impress your friends with how ‘cultural’ you are. ;^) Serve with rice and […]
Penzeys Spices
March 12, 2012 by
People often ask where I shop, when I lived in the NYC metro area my answer when it came to spices was Penzeys at Grand Central Market. Since moving to Berkeley I’ve had to get my Penzeys fix via their website. I got a shipment from them on Friday, a small order really. Penzeys doesn’t […]
