A Shout-Out to ME

Remnants of my tuna salad at Martha's Leelanau Table.

Last month my dear friend Sarah posted a tuna and white bean salad recipe I invented that was inspired by a lunch I had at Martha's Leelanau Table in Sutton's Bay, Michigan. It's probably the only time I have successfully recreated a dish, ever, so I'm posting it, even though it's not a baked anything. So suck it, haters!

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Espresso cup and saucer by Urban Soule.

The heart wants what it wants, and my heart wants chocolate chip cookies. Every. Day. I have to admit that as much as I love to bake, and as much I love trying new things, I keep coming back to chocolate chip cookies.

Potica, or Slovenian Nut Roll (Heh. Nut roll.)



There are a lot of things I enjoy about the holidays: the stop-motion animation TV specials, the tacit acceptability of binge drinking, and of course, the food. The piles and piles of food. And dudes, I start training right at Thanksgiving and I do not stop until New Years', by which my stomach is stretched enough to accommodate a Pontiac Aztec, if I could just unhinge my jaw.
