As for an actual fooding post, please wait a day or two… Caaaake… Chocolate-Almond Cake with Lemon Cream From La Maison du Chocolat: Transcendent Desserts ... Read More | | | | | | Here’s all the work put into it Two weeks ago I baked a cake for my younger brother’s 21st birthday. Yeah, he’s all grown up now and I feel kinda old just thinking back how little he was. [Sniffles] Anyway, my mom wanted me to bake him a “sophisticated” cake just because he’s turning the milest... Read More | | | | | | If you remember several weeks ago (or several posts ago), I went to Gramercy Tavern with Giulia for Restaurant Week and we received gift certificates for a future lunch. We set a date on when to return and keep perusing their website if the dining room menu changes after RW. But, they didn’t. They ...

I’m busy for the past week since I’m officially employed by the company/institution that I’ve been working for the past six or so months. Yay. I think? At least my pay is better and I get benefits. I’ll get a post up by Wednesday. Just bear with me... Read More | | | | | | Last Friday, my co-workers, scientists who are way more important than me, wanted to throw a dessert party.
