An Experiment: Victorian Christmas Pudding Part III
I almost didn't do this post. I almost threw the Christmas pudding away and said "forget it" to Christmas dinner. The two months running up to Christmas were awful. (Things still aren't great but no one wants to read my belly aching- not even me.) The last thing I felt like doing was making a … Continue reading An Experiment: Victorian Christmas Pudding Part III
Fit for a Ruler’s Birthday- Cheesecake
This is a very special recipe. Really- it is! This is the recipe my husband asks for every single year for his birthday cake. My husband's name is Ron (Ronald), which means "Ruler". And as he is the leader of our household and the head of our marriage I'd say that makes him the ruler … Continue reading Fit for a Ruler’s Birthday- Cheesecake
Legitimately Having Pie for Breakfast- Apple Pie Waffles
I think one of my absolute favorite desserts is pie. I love cake- but only with a generous amount of frosting on top, thank you very much.

An Experiment- Victorian Christmas Plum Pudding
For those that don't actually know me I must explain that I am a truly a dichotomy. I love technology and gadgets and there are a lot of things about modern life that I love. But I am also extremely old fashioned. I have a long list of time honored ways of doing things, I … Continue reading An Experiment- Victorian Christmas Plum Pudding

Summer Sucks XII: Something “Frosty” to Cool You Off- Frozen Hot Chocolate
I have come to the realization this year that I really can't complain about this summer too much. I started the Summer Sucks Series as a way to get through what was promising to be an incredibly hot and miserable summer.
