My friends and I wanted to watch “The Great Gastby” with Leonardo Dicaprio and I was tired of making cookies.
Tis the season to whip out my cathedral shaped bundt cake pan.

Pallu: the most decorative part of the sari
Pallu refers to the end of the sari on display, usually wrapped near a woman’s arm and/or waist.
The pallu is the more decorative part of the sari reserved for a variant on the pattern.
Pumpkin pie time of year
This week, my autumnal food cravings have finally kicked in.
Oregon suffered recently from a prolonged Indian summer, switching abruptly in mid-October.
Sari styles
There are a variety of ways to wear the sari and there is many a blog (or youtube video) to tell you and show you how.
But I want to spend this time to talk to you about the three ways that I generally wear my sari, and most often seen them worn in films.
“Cajun” cake
This is a cajun pecan cake from the Palio dessert cafe.
The slice is a white cake with butter cream- cream cheese frosting. There are pecans within the cake and on top, which are candied and with cayenne pepper and cinnamon.
Rice Krispie Twist
I had another Rice Krispie treat craving of late, which is another product from my return to the United States.
I hadn’t had Rice Krispies in forever, but when I got off the plane almost a year ago from traveling abroad, I really wanted some.
My Favorite Portland Donuts
Yes, Portland is the land of Voodoo Donuts, but I am talking about another type that is classicly creative and damn delicious.
Blue Star Donuts came into the Portland scene quite recently, but they now have two stores that are open until they sell out. One is downtown and the other is on SE Hawthorne.
