And if you show me a baked good that has not one but three types of alcohol in it, well, I’m completely defenseless. And if it happens to have an Irish theme to it, that pretty much settles it – I’ll be making the dessert in question that very evening.

In the next few days, I learned that these cupcakes (which were a smashing success at a friends’ game night party – for whom I have this message – please do not stop making such strong margaritas else our Coyote Ugly rendition will be nowhere as fierce) – contained the trifecta of beverages used to make a cocktail with a rather sensitive name – The Irish Carbomb.
If you’re thinking of an Irish-themed dessert for St.

It was extremely hard to not have access to all of the awesome restaurants, museums, shops, markets, and of course–my friends! It also was hard getting used to the fact that everything around here closes so damn early. One of the many pros of living in the ‘burbs is that I have a neighbor who spends most of her day tending to her garden. She grows TONS of veggies & fruits and leaves us bags of her latest harvest in our side yard. Yesterday I found a large bag filled with apples just waiting for me to pillage!
So last night I made an apple crisp for this week’s Project Runway get together!

February 21, 2011 § There wasn’t time to craft with O.T. in town for over a week, but he most certainly inspired me to get caught up on my baking.
The kitchen is always bustling with activity when he’s around (though he’s often found elsewhere in the house until it is time to eat!). It never fails, he always requests a batch of savory phyllo pastry, either filled with eggplant or ground beef. To break the routine, I decided to make some modifications by eliminating the eggplant and ground beef altogether. O.T. regularly snacks on dried figs and I was tempted to sneak a few from his stash as filling for the phyllo, along with some goat feta.
Sea Glass Candy. On nice days--nice being a relative term in Seattle--the little Humble and I make the short trip down to the beach.
It is one of her favorite activities outside of the house. She could spend the better part of the day beach combing at the shoreline, looking for interesting shells, rocks, sea glass and little dead crabs. She really likes those smelly little crabs. Hopefully she grows out of that particular obsession soon. Yes, this is a "nice" day... I felt like doing some Northwest beach theme treats this week, since the little Humble and I will be resuming our beach trips soon. For all you snowed in folks, the ones boggling at my choice of theme given the time of year, hopefully a little sea glass will remind you of warmer times to come.
