When I hear sheet cake, I have these weird flashbacks to terrible 80′s movies and decorations that are reminiscent of the cakes on Cake Wrecks (see link on sidebar). They are usually ugly, from Food Emporium, and are as dry as George Carlin’s humor. However, this cake is different. Real Different. Commence drooling. The Best [...]

I’m the worst. I’m a day past my normal post every three days, and I’ve got nothing. Please take this wonderful website as my apology. http://asleeponthesubway.tumblr.com/ Now once you’re done laughing at that, please feel free to comment, email, or facebook me with some recipes you would like to see. Do you want me to [...]

See, I have to be quite honest about a few things before I present this recipe. First of all, I have slowly learned that if you tell someone you love, and basically think is perfect, to do a very small task, one related to your blog, they will do the opposite. I admit I am [...]

I’m a klutz. I have always been ready and willing to admit I’m a klutz. I never learned how to crawl as a kid and it took me until I was 15 months old to learn how to walk. My parents were so afraid of my lack of coordination that they enrolled me in dance lessons [...]
Strata

When Little Mommies told me she would be making a “strata” for Hanukkah, I assumed that it would be some form of a multilayered cake and I was excited. Then when she told me that a strata was an egg dish filled with cheese, I was even more excited. Then, when she told me she was going [...]
Christmas List–Following the Masses
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Holiday, Jewish on December 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A lot of bloggers have been using this time of year when there is a lull in cooking before the holiday storm to write up Christmas lists. These lists range from what they want and what they think people might want to what no one really wants, but they need crap to talk about or need to promote [...]

Like most young women, I seem to follow some “unconventional” patterns in my dating. I would like to say that I’m an equal opportunity dater. I see no color, religion, heart, brain… However, I have never really seriously dated a Jewish man. Growing up in more of a traditional than religious, Jewish household, we have always [...]

Have you ever had a recipe that feels like family? I have been making this tart since I was competent enough to follow directions. There’s a picture on the http://twofacedchef.com/about-the-author/ page of me making this tart during my “Jack White I’m Continuously in Awkward Phases” phase. I brought it recently to a gathering of Rico’s family [...]

However, this year, we were asked to bring a side dish and we brought an easy, sweet, Fall side dish–sweet potato and carrot puree. [...]
