I can’t miss the chance to celebrate, but today is […]

LFM Gets a Makeover

You might have noticed that things are looking a bit different around here! The redesign has been in the works for a while and I finally had a bit of time to sit down and finish pounding it out. Thank you to the wonderful and extremely patient Mr. Fuji for helping me fiddle with my […]

FM’s Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

After spending so much time dreaming up Cupcake Week earlier this year with Lolly, I’ve been suffering from a very serious disease known as CCW (Cupcake Withdrawal).

Oh! Falafel!…Part II

Continued from Oh! Falafel!…Part I… The next morning (last Friday) I went back to the restaurant at 8am to observe the morning prep and to talk to the owner, Mustafa Khader (“Khader”), about his restaurant.

Off to an exciting start!

For some reason when I posted on Wednesday I thought today (Friday) was the 27th! Obviously today is the 26th, and not the 27th, so you won’t get to hear about this month’s Daring Bakers challenge until tomorrow! Sometimes I think I have a brick for a brain. Heh. In other news, Washoku Warriors is […]
