We are hosting Thanksgiving this year.  I/we have never hosted Thanksgiving before.  After the initial freak-out of “omfgwearehostingThanksgiving” I reminded myself that it will be fine, we had after all, hosted a homemade pizza party for 30 people last fall.  Because of this, my fear lied in the fact that it is Thanksgiving, a holiday [...]

My other favorite kitchen tool

Posted in other thoughts on September 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Remember when I wrote how my Kitchen-Aid Mixer is my favorite appliance?  It still is, and what home baker doesn’t love them?  They are sleek, timeless and super efficient.  Granted some will say that the new models don’t hold up to the test of time and move on to more powerful Cuisinart mixers.  That’s fine.  [...]
