Oh, really, do you make your own Oreo’s?
I had a reason to celebrate a few weeks ago and went to a fancy dinner at a place in South Chandler. Dinner was amazingly good, the waiter was educated about wine and suggested the perfect bottle, it was served at exactly the right temperature and all was [...]
I don’t give people the bird often. I remember the first time I did and I was amazed at how quickly that little finger just popped up! I was living in Dallas at the time, for those familiar with the area, I was working in Irving and living in the M-Street district close to downtown. [...]

Sara and I ran a lot in high school. Not only [...]

At least once a week I’ll submit a Google query that looks something like:
recipe, cake, lemon, fluffy
That’s when I don’t want to go to the grocery, but at the same time I want to *do* something in the kitchen. This evening the results were a Lemon Chiffon cake and after careful research I thought the [...]
Two different cupcakes on the same day! Yay! I walked into our Tempe office and I was greeted with a batch of cupcakes. Nothing is better than a cupcake for breakfast.
Then I headed over to Gilbert. And Dollar Hotdog guy, he and his mom (I know, weird that a grown up guy is making cupcakes [...]
I’m loving the Couture Cupcakes article in this quarter’s Donna Hay (volume 27), so when were were invited to Quarter Poker Night at the Cantoni’s I wanted to take a little treat. This couple is so nice. JT moved to Phoenix in October of 2004 and I was in town in November looking [...]
