So let’s just get this out of the way: Somehow, I have found myself back at the small arts college that laid me off three weeks ago. A week and a half after laying me off, I get a call asking if I would be willing to come back. I’ll let you draw your own […]
I’m having difficulty knowing how to begin this post. My last post was fueled by anger and frustration so it came much more easily; adrenaline makes an excellent writing partner. But this post is more difficult. With the rage came fire and energy and productivity. Part of me was grateful for that because it kept […]
I don’t know about you, but when I am pissed off I need to bake. Did you know that rage makes baked goods taste better? Oh sure, people will tell you that they can taste the love in your food, but guess what suckers? I was pissed as hell when I baked that and you […]
You read that right: Funfetti Tres Leches. Because everything is better with sprinkles. A word of warning: This cake is sweet. Tres Leches is a sweet cake to begin with, but the addition of the sprinkles brings new meaning to the phrase “sugar high”. I’m talking unicorns dancing, leprechauns jigging, and children bouncing off the […]
So here’s the deal: my family has a lot of birthdays in the month of May (mine, my uncle’s, and my Grampy’s) so rather than try to celebrate them individually, we just roll them into one big party on Mother’s Day. Since my Grampy passed away earlier this year, we all knew that Mother’s Day […]
The first Saturday of May 2019 can only be described as holy. It was a day of triumph and tragedy, of might and majesty, and of music that fills the soul as only a John Williams score can. It was Star Wars Day…May the 4th Be With You. It was also the day of the […]
Welcome to Sprinkled With Sass: Passover Edition! For any who don’t know, Passover is the Jewish holiday commemorating when someone tried to kill us, but failed, so we all sit around our kitchen table and talk about it before we eat. But Stacey, isn’t that basically every Jewish holiday? Yes. Yes it is. So why […]
We’ve all done it: we go to the store, buy bananas with every intention of eating them, completely forget they are there, and end up with a bunch of bananas that more closely resemble their slug counterparts than actual pieces of fruit. You think I’m kidding? See below. Luckily, in times like these we have […]
I am amazed it took me this long to post something with brown butter. For those of you who don’t know, brown butter is what you get when you cook your butter long enough to caramelize the milk solids. The first time you make it, the process goes something like this: Okay, butter is melting. […]
You know the saying “when life hands you lemons”? Well, life didn’t so much as hand me lemons as it pie’d me in the face. Then, as I was wiping the whipped cream from my eyes, life said, “here, catch!” and beaned me with those damned lemons. There are times when life gets in the […]
