- A Horse’s Neck
Here it is: another wedding cocktail attempt. Let me start by saying I am NOT a whisky drinker, as a matter of fact, I don’t even like the stuff. Somehow, I was talked into giving this drink a try, and to my surprise, it is actually pretty good. You cannot keep me away from anything [...]

- D.C. Restaurant Week
Restaurant week happens in D.C. twice every year, and we always talk about taking advantage of the fabulous deal at the delicious restaurants, but never actually get around to it. That is, until this year. Best…Decision…Ever! $35 for amazing food, and lots of it. Who can resist?! The first place I went to with the [...]

- Rosemary Gin Fizz
The roommate and I are on the hunt for specialty cocktail to serve at our wedding. It must be appropriate for autumn since we are getting married in October. This is perfect for me because one of my favorite drinks is apple cider and spiced rum, which we dubbed the “caramel apple” back in college. [...]

- Resolutions 2012
Yes, it is true, Organized nonsense does not get enough attention, and I am the first to admit this. I love this little blog, but all of the picture taking, uploading to my computer and Flickr, editing, and everything else made every update very time consuming. Good News! My Christmas present to myself was to [...]

- Apple Bread…Delicious, but it’s no Cranberry.
I can’t stop thinking about Thanksgiving and the fact that it will bring me back to my family for a short while. With these 12 hour work days and the exhaustion it leads to, I need something to look forward to. That is Thanksgiving for me. There are too many thoughts about too many stressful [...]

- Dutch Apple Pie
About a month ago, we had a random cold weekend here in DC, and while most of the normal people chose to hunker down and wait it out, I decided it was a perfect weekend to visit the orchard. Not only did the roommate and I find the most amazing orchard with extra delicious apple [...]

- Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
How is it possible that I, the girl who craves ice cream constantly, have only made ice cream once this summer?! Although I still have 6 days of summer left, and 39 days until the official change over to fall, who knows if time will allow for more flavors to be tested. Thank goodness this [...]

- Macarons vs. Marathon
What would I like to accomplish before I die? Make a successfully delectable batch of macarons. I have never tried to make macarons, but I hear they are not the easiest thing to make successfully. There are more stories out there about macaron failures than successes. Not to mention that my forte lies with messing [...]

- Cinnabon Cupcakes
Sometimes you need cupcakes, and sometimes you need cinnabon. Let’s kill 2 birds with one stone! 2 birds with with 1 yummy, moist, cinnamony stone with cream cheese frosting…yum. Cupcakes are tasty, trust me, I agree with you there, but the roommate and I are only 2 people. So, not only do I make myself [...]

- Summer Freedom
Now that school is over for the year, I can look forward to summer and the freedom it promises. Now is the time to forget about school and think about delicious things like John Dalys, grilled pizza, and homemade ice cream on the roof top patio. With an ice cream maker begging to to be taken [...]
