I'm a blogger

Well this is it, the first post, and I'm starting in what I'm guessing is a very unoriginal fashion... Announcing to the world (or no one at all) that I have no idea what I'm doing, but starting today I am a "Blogger".  I'm not sure about this new label (especially after hearing my future sister-in-law divulge that she had second thoughts about a man on a first date after finding out that he was a "Blogger"....but since she married this "Blogger" I've decided that I too can get past the label and I hope you can as well).  Other labels I can admit include: "Foodie", "Cook", and "Baker" however all these labels can be used as loosely to describe me as "Blogger" since all are only used to describe my passions and none can be used formally.

As unoriginal as the fashion in which I announced my new project is my motivation for starting this blog... a new camera.  My wonderful fiance gifted it to me for Christmas this year and it's quickly becoming an addiction.  I'm not sure if he expected what this little light-box of mine would inspire (and maybe it will be short-lived) but I'm excited to start the project and see where it takes me.  Now I have to scope the project.  There are a few ideas in my head but those I will save for the next post when I have more confidence that I know what I'm doing.  I can tell you one thing, it will center around EATS!

Because when you turn 3 you need a purple, ombré, unicorn, cake!

For Reese's third birthday I made her (or maybe I made me) a purple, ombré, unicorn, cake.  I followed a few different recipes and instructions and took lots of pictures so I could either share with you (if you're not me) or remind myself later, how I made it.  I mostly uses this "How to make your own unicorn cake"  tutorial .  It was super helpful! Wednesday: I made the four layers of purple cake.  I used the Cook's Country White Layer Cake   but used almond flavoring and tons of gel food coloring, decreasing the amount for each layer.  I used an 8" round and kept the layers short since I couldn't cut the layers horizontally because they each needed to be a different colors.  I made the recipe twice and divided it each time into two pans. After the cakes cooled, I wrapped each one and put them in the freezer over night. Thursday: When I started to assemble the cake I used my twirly cake decorator and I like to tape a cake boa...

Slanted Door - San Francisco

The amazing thing about Slanted Door is how popular it is on a random Tuesday night.  We couldn't get over how many people were there.  Trish, Molly, and Jeannie and I decided a few months ago when we had dinner in the city that we would not make the trip again without a reservation at a restaurant that makes it worth it.  We started brainstorming the San Francisco restaurants that we wanted to try or revisit and the first on our list was Slanted Door in the Ferry Building.  SUPER good eats but even better company.  I absolutely love these "girls" nights filled with yummy food, all of life's details, and Trish's inappropriate humor that has us all rolling!! I didn't think I liked spare ribs but Trish convinced me to try them and they were awesome! Trish had these last time and insisted on ordering them.  The crispy shallots made the dish. The waitress spilled water on my phone so I got complementary Cotton Candy.  So fun!!

Making my own sushi

Loving this "making my own sushi" thing.  It's so much easier then I ever thought.  The key is ordering sushi rice from the sushi counter at the grocery store.  The BEST is to use frozen tempura and after you cook it up, roll it in!
