Yay, A Ward! And the World Needs More Wards.
Pin itDon’t you think First, Make a Roux is a lovely blog title? I rather do. It’s the perfect name for someone from Louisiana. The first time I wandered over there, I even said so in the comments section. I … Continue reading
I've Been Hiding Something From You: Chocolate Stout Cake Rocks. Sorry; I Should Have Said Something Earlier.
Pin itNiko from over at Damn Cute Bunnies asked what I thought about Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate Guinness Cake. Specifically, she wants to know if the Guinness is just there for shock value or if it really Does Something. Friends, I … Continue reading

Sunday Suppers: Chicken and Dumplin's
Pin itBefore we get started: In this case, the apostrophe takes the place of the g in dumpling. Please do not think I don’t know the difference between a plural and a possessive, because I wouldn’t be able to sleep … Continue reading

Acid: The Barbara Hershey of Ingredients
Pin it So I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength. A beautiful face without a name — for so long, a beautiful smile to hide the pain.–Bette Midler I’m sorry, … Continue reading
Sunday Suppers (Monday Edition): Lamby Goodness
Pin itI think that it has been well established that I am not a planner. So, when The Beloved and I decided that lamb would be in order for St. Patrick’s Day, I didn’t really expect that we would actually … Continue reading
I Must Digress for a Grammar Rant
Pin itOkay, I’ve tried to hold this in. Partly because I don’t want all of you to leave here whispering “oooo, she’s Crazy” as you leave, and partly because if I post some random rant about a Thing that Makes … Continue reading
Puff Lite: Rough Puff
Pin itAlright, folks. I typed and typed until my fingertips tingled regarding the minutiae of making puff pastry, and what do I get? Fear and loathing in the Hinternets. Well, I’d like to think maybe not loathing, but the fear … Continue reading
