When I was younger, Thanksgiving was a wonderful time where you didn’t do anything of note all week in school, save crafting Indian garb (we were taught “Indian”, not “Native American”…I’m really dating myself here) out of paper grocery bags, until finally you arrived at the big day only to find yourself impatiently waiting through [...]
[Insert obligatory statement excusing the length of time that has passed between my most recent blog entries, blah blah blah] I’ve been busy. BUT, I made a cake. From a boxed mix. I KNOW! So unlike me, and will probably never happen again unless some sort of cake emergency arises. (Like, say for instance you’ve [...]
I really stepped in it. Literally. A puddle of water in the middle of my kitchen. It’s only origin seemed to be the dishwasher which had run the night before, but was no longer running… save for this strange emission of water. I wiped it up and rationalized it as something that I forgot to [...]
Get the whole scoop! →5:00PM Rushed home amidst evening traffic like Mario Andretti to prepare for battle. “This time, I’ll reign victorious!” I told myself. Surely, my carefully conceived meal plan could not be bested by “The Whirling Dervish”, or “Dude’s nephew”as he is also known. (The Whirling Dervish is so aptly named as he is rarely, if ever, [...]
Get the whole scoop! →We’ve all had rough weeks. Frankly, by 3PM on Thursday I was ready to crawl inside a tequila bottle. I told myself, if I can just make it through Friday I will have definitely earned a tall stiff drink. Or 5. However, Friday at 7 PM I realized we were out of desserp and this [...]

Our very own four legged host will escort you to le dining table when brunch is served. (If Max can lead you to anything…it’s food.) At Cafe Au Gee, we [...]
Get the whole scoop! →I don’t care who you are, or where you’re from: nothing says comfort quite like a cookie. Don’t get me wrong, I love a chocolate cake as much as the next person. Something about cookies though… sneaking that bit of dough before they leave the mixer and hit the sheet, waiting impatiently as the warm [...]
Get the whole scoop! →I snack all day. It’s what I do, I’m a snacker; I have little nibbles throughout the day which is cost effective because I can stretch food out for long periods of time. Dude is a manly man with an athletes metabolism and a wingspan to rival Michael Phelps. He eats a lot and he [...]
Get the whole scoop! →“1″ may be the loneliest number, but “2″ (despite being an even number) is an odd number to cook for. Most cook book recipes render at least four servings. On the other end of the spectrum you have microwave, single serve dinners for “1″. When there are only “2″ of you, the choices consist of [...]
Get the whole scoop! →Money does not grow on trees. (I know, SAGE advice.) So, I’m of the “waste not, want not” mindset. It makes me ill to throw away food. In fact, we recently had to throw away some peaches that could not be eaten fast enough—that I have been plagued with guilt over. And I vowed to [...]
