Post image for Red White and Blue Velvet Independence Parfait

Not so much a recipe as a concept, we present you with a simple yet very patriotic dessert. Just layer some blue velvet cake, a bit of whipped cream and some red velvet cake in a decorative glass and viola!

We like to keep holidays simple.  Especially those with fireworks.

Happy 4th everyone.

Thanksgiving 2008, a wonderful day

November 28, 2008 Personal Ramblings

(And Thank God for smoker grills!)  I’m not totally used to our new oven, and there just isn’t enough room for the two of us in that kitchen.  Thankfully we’ll be looking to buy a home …

Our 2008 Turkey Day Menu

November 25, 2008 Personal Ramblings

For those of you with an interest in what will be on other people’s tables this Thanksgiving, I thought I’d lay out our plans for the holiday.  For us, Holiday dinners are a week-long affair, and like any other holiday, I’ve already begun on this one.  I’d rather spend the actual day chatting with my friends and family than being “the cook”, because the whole point of a holiday like …
