My friend Jilly loves to cook. She posts her food photos on Facebook and such. Usually, when people do this I am like, “Nobody cares about your hot dog, fella,” but Jilly’s posts make me want to stop by her house à la Steve Urkel style.

It was a struggle to have enough of these left at the end for the photographs. I started with two full cartons of raspberries.

 

To say they are a party in your mouth is an understatement. Crème brûlée raspberries are a keg party in your mouth. Except instead [...]

Do you ever obsess over a food flavor that isn’t exactly the most popular?  It’s safe to say most people love (obsess) over chocolate ice.

Remember when I made these?

 

They’re almost too cute to eat.

I was recently carousing through Pinterest, when I saw a pin for drunken gummies (also known as liquor or vodka soaked gummies). Birds  were like, “Oh my GOD I HAVE to try this!”

“Wow! This is amazingggg!”

 “Teenagers…wah wah… they are going to bring this to school..wah wah.. [...]

Don’t ask me how or why I decided to do this. It had to happen.

 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. (Mind you, the period was intentional as always. Not a question mark.)

Pop Rocks Mousse.

On June 29, 2012 By

Yes. I combined something delicate and French with a very gaudy and tacky (nostalgic and classic too, of course) US American candy. I created an oxymoron.

 

Alas, it’s my blog I do what I want.

 

Since Pop Rocks are the most overused ingredient for [...]
