A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated my dear friend Betty’s birthday. I love any excuse to make a cake, but a birthday is the best! I wanted to make a cake that was something that she liked, but was...
I think I cursed myself last week by saying I didn’t believe in the powers of Friday the 13th because the powers that be decided to make this week a solid 0/10 for me. On Sunday, as Mike and...
Last week Mike and I went mini golfing. I cannot remember the last time I went mini golfing, which is pretty strange because I’m a huge fan of mini golf. I mean, miniature things are right up my alley,...
Woah, didn’t even realize it was Friday the 13th until writing up the title of this post! Are you guys superstitious at all? I’m not particularly, in regards to the 13th, but sometimes the idea of it freaks me...

If you know anything about the sushi world in around here, you’ve probably heard of Hidekazu Tojo. He’s kind of a big dill (food pun!) around here, or at least he was before sushi became just as ubiquitous as burgers...
Hong Kong bubble waffles are the stuff of childhood dreams. I remember being a kid, at the night market, up way past my bedtime, eagerly awaiting a piping hot bag of these little egg-shaped waffles. There would always be a...
