In light of all the recent hype of the upcoming movie ~Julie & Julia, I finally forced myself to start to read the book, sadly to say I have only got to page 146, after 2 weeks. I usually tear through a book in a day or 2. Thank god, I only spent $8.00 on [...]

Time to bid a sad adieu to the wonderful & lovely Payard, in New York City. They shut their doors last night. It was as close to a french pastry shop and cafe as one could get without crossing the pond to Paris. I have enjoyed many a delicious treat there and not just sweet, [...]

Guinness & Chocolate!

Oh, this is good! Made a dark chocolate bar cookie with lots of sweet cream butter & topped with butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, chunked scharfenberger chocolate, macadamia nuts ( sad to say we devoured the remainder of the jar before the cookies were even cool!) cream cheese, graham crackers, & drizzled with melted chocolate [...]
