So one day when we were playing LEGO and I wasn’t playing attention to what she was doing (I don’t just play LEGO to humour her – I play too, building my own stuff), she suddenly exclaimed “Look! It’s Princess Leia from The Empire Strikes Back, when she was dressed as a St...
Cafe Tips for making these Copycat Crumbl Sugar Cookies Because this recipe does not require a mixer, the butter needs to be nice and soft. You can let butter sit out at room temperature but if the air is chilly in your house, it won't get soft enough. Here are some ways to soften...
it's good. Chewy rice noodles, crisp veggies, crunchy peanuts, bright and fresh herbs, perfectly cooked pork tenderloin, and a sweet-salty-spicy dressing. It's good stuff. Like I said, this was a bit outside my comfort zone, but when all was said and done, I'm so glad I took...

adapting his vanilla yogurt to a jacked-up coconut cherry almond variety, which we ate with teeth-clattering glee after ournoodle salads. I haven’t been to this pink berry place yet (that I wish someone would call amoratorium on referencing), but after a wee bowl of this stuff, it’s...
