Mom It Down: Chocolate Angel Food Cake: FAIL.

April 26th, 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Mom It Down and it shows. This weekend, I noticed a carton of organic egg whites I’d been sitting on (ha!) were set expire soon, so I decided to revisit the angel food cake. Let me tell you: this baking adventure consisted of a series of mistakes which led to one grand finale of a mess. But I thought I should share it because not everything works out. Sometimes things go so badly, they go from oven to trash, but not before collecting photographic evidence.

Now I Know Why They Call It A “Stress” Fracture.

April 19th, 2010

I run about 20 miles a week—sometimes more, sometimes less. But that’s been my average for a while. I love running. I run to avoid depression. I don’t take pills. (Not that I’m against doing so!). It’s just that running works for me. I run because it gets me high and makes me unbelievably happy. I can’t imagine not being able to do it.

The Flootbeer Roat

April 13th, 2010

Tuesdays with Murray will be up in a few. (I’m working out of the house at the moment and am therefore away from the good stuff.) In the meantime, I wanted to share my latest lollipop flavor: The Flootbeer Roat! (The name was taken from my goofy father who has used this term since he was a kid.) It’s rootbeer with a hint of vanilla. It goes really well with Mint Chip on a Stick or The Box Office.

No Strollers Allowed!

April 12th, 2010

I wrote the post below instead of doing what I should have done which was to call the establishment directly and ask them about the sign. Instead, I did what I can’t stand and got passive-aggressive about it on the Internet. (I am currently punching myself in the face for this, btw.)
