Re: Things that I love

With regard to the discussion of soul mates, one true love per person, etc: count me among the skeptics.

Choosing is a powerful act.

Re: The Smells in My Kitchen

Please, somebody help me out here. My mom sent me a cake recipe for Nom's birthday cake, and we've made it twice and it is dense like poundcake. No idea what I'm doing wrong, and yes, I know to beat the hell out of it with the electric mixer, and it ain't working. I'm looking for a basic white/vani...

Re: Wedding Planning!

I really want to write about my wedding day. I want to write about how David and I woke up in the morning and went to the farmers market to buy flowers. We stood in line to order an egg sandwich from the breakfast cart, and we were there so early the eggs hadn't even been unpacked yet. I want to wri...

Re: The Smells in My Kitchen

Gnocchi is relatively easy to make and freezes well.

Form them, freeze them in a single layer on a cookie sheet (not touching) and then when fully frozen, bag 'em. When ready to cook, do not defrost. Just plop into boiled water directly from freezer.

SERAPHINA by Rachel Hartman. Deserves every starred review it got and then some. Fantastic, fantastic book that made me laugh aloud and cry, both.
