    “And if we do win, absolutely no dumping Gatorade over Coach Paterno,” Jones added. “I mean, are you fucking kidding me? He’d fall apart like a stewed chicken.” Quite possibly the best article ever written. (Thanks, scbob for the link.) In related news: I am SO excited for college football season!

    Edited to add: Murray updated the title of this post while I was away from the computer. So, I’m going to leave it as is. Apparently he wanted it this way. I’m not sure what he was trying to say, but there you go. The problem with sitting around attached to a newborn all day…

    I had my 40-week appointment on Monday. My stubborn cervix hasn’t budged. “You’re a tight 2 centimeters.” “That’s a polite way of saying I’m still 1.5 centimeters, isn’t it?” “Yes.” “Great. So, what can I do?: So she “stripped the membrane” which is really just code for OMFG OUCH! She did this twice because the…

    I rolled out two new confectionary concepts over on Etsy. The first one features a new flavor called The Due Date. It combines wintergreen and (a few) fennel seeds. I also added cough drop-sized candies to my store. This all began when a customer contacted me after finishing off one of my Asian Orange lollipops.…

    Over the last several months, many people have requested I make wine-flavored lollipops. I never thought it’d be possible, to be honest. But over the weekend I was at a boutique shop here in Brooklyn and noticed handmade candy canes for sale. While the candy canes are all made with corn syrup, they are also…

    My friends! I am so happy to report that I’m the featured seller on Etsy! I know, right? AWESOME!

    Sometime last year, I was hanging out with my friend Gerry and I brought up the topic of vampires. I was being cynical (and bitchy) making fun of the strange, new teenage craze for all things vampire. I lumped together every vampire show, movie, and book out there. They were all the same to me,…

    Y’all have got to check this out. The sodium content alone is astounding if you can get beyond the calories and the fat. And we wonder why Americans are getting fatter? This is insane!

    Sunday is our long day at pastry school. We go from  9 AM until 5 PM but we do get a 20-minute break. Whenever lunch rolls around I pull out my iPhone to check email, Twitter and the like. Well, this Sunday it wasn’t working. The little ATT icon showed up but the 3G icon…
