An introduction

I've decided that it's time that I had a blog. A blog with a purpose, as I am not very inclined to share things about myself. And after seeing Julie and Julia this weekend, I decided my escapades in the kitchen would be my purpose.

Before anyone gets too excited, I need to say that I was never one to sit in the kitchen as my mom or my aunts or my grandmothers cooked. I don't think our oven even worked until the kitchen was remodeled when I was eleven years old. Except for a semester of Introduction to Cooking in the 8th grade, most of my cooking experience came in college (which will likely be featured frequently).

These days, I mostly bake. And I mostly bake cakes for the express purpose of decorating them. I plan to document this process, and include recipes, for my own amusement. And possibly yours.

  1. You probably won't talk about it here, but I'd like to know how creative your family got without use of a working oven until you were 11! ;)

  2. Hi G! Are you going to talk about how you made the Snicker's ice cream cake?
