Though I only attempted them once or twice, I couldn’t understand why my honed pancake skills had not made the transfer. I never flipped a successful crêpe. Being easily discouraged is a trait I’ve fought hard to overcome in my life, but I suppose failure in the form of mangled Read more…

Rando Abando. The Finger Lakes from the sky A city covered in white. The tremendous Kodak campus. A creepy mess of old utilitarian buildings of bygone era. Baby Yoda vegan waffles, because I couldn’t resist. She slaved away on her plastic oven for this meal. More rando abando. This is Read more…

I’m really excited to go camping this weekend and have the season’s first starshoot. But I’d need some nutritionally dense eats to sustain me through a packed itinerary. I played around with this recipe, so these are chocolate banana tahini flax gluten-free muffins! Say that five times fast. They’re packed Read more…

Now that my binge-bake of pink and red colored beauties is over, some me Valentine’s eats… I am not a fan of using gel coloring gratuitously in my own eats especially when the almighty beet, a favorite thing, does the trick very naturally and with added nutritional value. Authenticity is Read more…

🎉 I guess my birthday celebration starts… now… on the day that my friend mistakenly thought was my birthday. Though we’ve been friends for like 15 years. 😐 But I shouldn’t complain as The Greek got me a tent for my birthday and facilitated a great camping experience on the Read more…

It ain’t over till it’s over, I suppose. And with a mostly honored mandatory 2-week quarantine after my Virginia trip, I have plenty of scenes for part 11… before I go and get myself another mandatory quarantine after my big summer trip. But with punches, we roll. Making lemonade… watching Read more…

Soon I’ll be on my way, within an early summer get-away. So the produce needs to be used! I decided on whipping up an old fashioned tofu scramble… for its versatility, its ease and its deliciousness. And so you can try it out when you have your own variety of Read more…

Here are the latest highlights from the Quarantine cafe! First in the bakery, my failed sourdough starter. It was bubbling nice and fine, but I accidentally killed it. I’m starting another tomorrow, because… persistence. Next a stop at the bar before I’m seated at the best seat in the house. Read more…

I decided I’d take my accordion out in quarantine and try to learn how to play it. Of course I had to put on my German dirndl… because that is the closest region of garb I have, though it’s way off. Things: I need to replace the leather shoulder straps Read more…

…Another Sweet, that was my dinner. Perfect golden pancakes… blueberry pancakes. Out of all the things I make, I am always 100% satisfied with my pancakes. Perhaps because I have made them consistently for decades of my life. Even more consistently than chocolate chip cookies. So enjoy the visual fruit Read more…

Though I was first feeling like this about the drastic shift in my work duties… …I’m feeling better now. Routines have been created and there’s no dress code, though I rocked the tutu yet again to make some example pictures for my students who I was assigning a homebound version Read more…

Pancake Day has many names: Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, um Pancake Day. Marking the onset of the Lent, this day is a celebration of animal-rich eats and general debauchery (i.e. Mardi Gras) before abstinence and penance begins. Animal-rich eats aside for many years, for me pancakes are a special part Read more…

The end of summer is a heartbreaker for teachers. So I squeezed in some commiseration with a couple of my favorite teachers in Brooklyn and Staten Island. We ate, drank and mourned the end of our total freedom. Williamsburg’s Modern Love has these mozzarella sticks that are mind blowing, just Read more…

I’m on a mad dash to T.C.B. before my trip! Which means I’m turning over the pantry and fridge. Specifically, I am making a whole bunch of French toast using this recipe with my leftover Japanese Milk Bread to freeze for later. French Toast is a just a sweet means Read more…
