Okay, I’ll admit three weeks ago, I didn’t really know what the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” was. Turns out it is ALL the RAGE with the preschool set. And since Eileen and I were in charge of making a birthday cake for a darling little girl’s second birthday, we had some research to do on Mickey [...]

Rhubarb Crisp

May 27, 2011

Last year, I confessed my love of rhubarb. With another rhubarb season upon us, my love is back and it’s tremendous. Remember when I bought the so-so strawberries? Well, that morning I was really looking for rhubarb. Because earlier in the week I had eaten rhubarb crisp twice in as many days and I was [...]

You all know I have a tendency to get a little bit excited about local produce. Maybe sometimes too excited. Like last weekend. Instead of our normal Sunday Baltimore Farmer’s Market run, I decided to go to the uptown Waverly Market on Saturday. Because, you know, I had other stuff I was doing on Sunday [...]

Happy Royal Wedding Day! Yes I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a royal watcher. I think I’ve been one almost since birth, since my mom and Princess Diana were pregnant at the same time in 1981/82. After I was born, my mom famously said that Diana “must be carrying a boy, because the princess [...]

Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house… Pandora was playing Christmas music–it must be cookie baking time! This year, thanks to our weekend in Florida, my annual cookiepalooza in preparation for the Ratskellar Christmas Party was seriously condensed. To one day. Yikes! Somehow I survived, and at the end of the day [...]

I’m a big fan of Everyday Food magazine. So much so, that I actually like to sit down and *read* it instead of just flipping through it like I do with most magazines. When I was flipping through the December issue, I was delighted to see a bacon feature in the table of contents. Because [...]

Half Marathon training may be kicking my butt. (however, marathon training is also awesome at combating the effects of this.) Ironically, it’s not the long runs that are getting me. I feel awesome when I get up, eat some breakfast, then go for a long run. Even if I paint for 6 hours after I [...]
