For some odd reason every year I can never pin down the exact date of Thanksgiving. Is it the third week? Last week? Thursday, Friday? Rats. Then I figured out an easier way. Thanksgiving is getting close when the molasses and pumpkin start getting sold out at the grocery store. Will I be making a [...]

I like to think of myself as logical. Cool-headed if you will. I used to crinkle my nose when I watched mushy gushy movies. But then I met a funny bear. And he sang me songs and made me smile, tucked me in at night and held me after a bad dream. Funny, that. Nowadays [...]

Brownies are great. For a while. Amazingly enough, it is possible to get a wee bit tired of the fudgey chocolaty dark squares. Enter blondies.

Hmm.. I just realized that looks alot like “KKK”. Whoops. CCC= Chocolate Chip Cookie. Have you ever tried Chips Ahoy’s chewie chocolate chip cookies? That’s what these taste like the next day.

When I was growing up, my mom never baked. The sweetest thing that came out of her oven was usually a baked sweet potato. I’m not sure if it’s because Koreans don’t consider dessert as part of the meal, or if it was just because she didn’t like to bake, period. And while the word [...]
