Sitting on a lot of sugar moments...

its been a long time since i've been posting on this blog. i'm sorry to my few random viewers and my 9 followers.

i have been working on getting more work on my resume as a culinary person. i recently made cakepops for my work. and i was able to actually meet a very successful blogger. you may have heard of bakerella.com she's awesome. a sweet person who loves sweet.

i made these pumpkin cake pops and the turned out pretty well. i made them out of sprinkle's pumpkin cupcake mix. i added a bit of muirhead's pumpkin butter to the frosting and then proceeded to coat them in orange candy coating. then using the orange sanding sugar i made some of them sparkle. it was a good day at work when bakerella said they were cute. i like to think so.

pumpkin is awesome. i also made a pumpkin cheesecake. a no bake one using the muirhead's pumpkin pecan butter to mix with the cream cheese, sour cream and condensed milk. super easy and delicious. fall baking is in! do some pumpkin stuff. i'm excited because soon at houston's they will have their harvest cheesecake... i love it.

eat extraordinary everyday.

busy starting it up

its been a crazy 2010 for me. lots of things keeping me from blogging. its kinda sad that i havent really eaten out like i used to. i started a new activity in my life so cooking and food has taken a back seat. but its coming back. i've been teaching private cooking lessons and its been a blast. i'll share some pictures. making bbq sauce from scratch is one of my favorite things to do and of course anything on the grill is good times.

book project is still in the works.. until then i'll be yelping and trying to blog here more for you. keep eating!

eat extraordinary everyday

Happy 2010...

my apologies for the lack of blog posts but trust me when i saw i was busy. if you didnt know i work a lot... someone has to pay for this food habit i have.. so i work in retail at an amazing culinary store.. (think the best of the best) thats where i work. dont want to give away my locations to random strangers. but anyhow during Christmas time i was there everyday so sorry for not posting anything for you 8 readers! i love you though.

in December: made prime rib for dinner for the family. kids love good food when its done right no matter how picky the kids are about the food they eat.

jan: went to vegas ate at craftsteak and i'm going to try to write a letter to chef tom to let him know his restaurant is serving bland food.

back to cooking in Manhattan beach for my favorite family and very excited to do so. made french onion soup, roasted veggie pasta with pancetta and red velvet cupcakes for dessert. going to do something new and fun every time i'm there.. lets hope i find my camera...

otherwise the book project is on and i'm still writing for that... its soo much harder to write it down then i thought but i can do it.. especially when the end result will be for everyone to really enjoy sake. check out master sake sommelier yuji mastumono's blog. http://www.learnaboutsake.com/
