My friend let me keep a portion of the leftover cookies from from our movie night, because eating six boxes in one sitting would have been obscene.
A sweet addendum to girl scout cookies
Author: Stephanie Landis
Girl scout cookies and beer, yeah they are a great combo
After a bizarre week, I needed a movie night with beer. My friend was more than happy to provide, along with girl scout cookies.
I made some popcorn, and we watched a bit of Tenali, a virtuous Indian cartoon for children with creepily animated characters.
Best cinnamon coffee cake
In want of cinnamon rolls for my brunch, I toyed with the idea of making a cinnamon cake that required a special cinnamon bundt pan.
But I decided to crack into more of Saveur’s New Classics Cookbook collection to see what they suggested.
My first practice at Indian Sweets
My Hindi instructor is so sweet; she randomly gave me a light blue lehenga after class that she didn’t want.
So I thought I would make her some sweets for her kindness.
Special Bundt for those particular foodies
I went to my F3’s Salem abode last weekend which is always a decadent food time.
I knew they would be expecting something different and inventive in flavor.
A port chocolate problem
I had this fine dessert wine from Seven of Hearts winery, which is like a port but lighter.
It’s actually called the coupe’s cuvee, pinot noir dessert wine.
It has stronger raspberry notes than a port too.
So I needed a dark chocolate cake before I finished off this cute little bottle.
Stephanie’s stash
These are the sweets I still have left from the holidays.
I actually had to make some drawer space to have a place for my sweet stash, and these don’t even count the Christmas cookies in the freezer.
A sari for every occasion
Getting dressed in the morning is an important ritual in any country.
Self presentation and expression is key to picking out the right outfit for the nature of the day’s tasks. For example, the above sari is perfect for a party with all of its sequins and pretty border.
Fluffernutter cherry
I think I might be one of the few Americans that hasn’t had a fluffernutter sandwich before.
Christmas Cookie Countdown
Here we are post Christmas and I would like to give a rundown of my favorite cookie treats from this year’s holiday.
