I talked about Irish coffee a while back, when we made the muffins inspired by the drink. Since then we acquired some Irish coffee glasses and I was mulling over what I could make that could be presented in them, they have such a wonderful distinctive shape it would be a shame to only drink [...]

Autumn is finally here, or at least it’s trying to push it’s way in. Hopefully today is the first of many sub 80 degree days and not just an anomaly. It was a tough choice whether to write this, or sit in the garden enjoying the weather. That’s about the only time I would need [...]

It’s been a hectic week, my internet browsing time has been shockingly low, so it’s just a short post today. As a follow up to last week, Haydel’s made their king cake and broke the record. Apparently it took 4000lbs of flour and over 300lbs of sprinkles! That’s a lot of sprinkles. It has yet [...]

The brownies were calling my name, I tried to resist, really, I did! But I failed, they called too strongly. I am weak to their siren song. It all started after the brownie mention in the weekly roundup a couple Fridays ago. I had intended to bake that afternoon, and after re-reviewing the article I [...]

Everyone’s heard of recycling crayons, Zeebree on Etsy has taken it to cooler new heights by forming them into cupcakes and selling them in bakers boxes. Do you call them cokes, pop, sodas or something else entirely. Someone with far too much time on their hands put together a map of the US by what [...]

Bara Brith is a traditional Welsh food. It translates literally to Speckled Bread. It varies depending on which part of Wales you are in, though I’m a fan of the South Wales version, more of a fruit cake. The North Walian is a yeast bread, I have yet to try that one. I dislike saying [...]

Got given The Perfect Scoop back in July (for my birthday), yes, I asked for it. But on some level I like to think that perhaps my Mum was dropping some hints for when she next visits! David Lebovitz is a fantastic chef, this is the only book of his that I own but I’ve [...]

We have an extra long round up this week to make up for missing last week (though it means some of my “news” is a week out of date), are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin… In a collection of entertaining food items, we’ll start off with the Stay Puft marshamllow. Remember – from Ghostbusters. [...]
