Good Morning Darlings!

How I love getting a package in the mail…you know, brown paper packages tied up with string. Or packing tape. Either way.

Kahlua came knocking on my door this week. Let’s mix up some libations!

Isn’t Kahlua the yummiest?

Sometimes I receive things in the mail that are a surprise. This little package was one of those days.

Good Morning Darlings!

I know I really should post more recipes, but I’ve been very busy.

Now, I know that is a terrible excuse, so today I hope to make it up to you.

Come on in!

Easter Envy

Good Morning Darlings!

I am still dreaming of Easter entertaining. We will have a small group of friends over for dinner (when I told Eric we were hosting 20pp, he was a bit surprised. My answer? “It is small compared to 175 for the Christmas Party!”) God bless my husband for putting up with my antics.

Anyhoo, I am still poring over ideas for our special spring soiree. Take a look and see what I’ve found.

Hop to it, Bunnies!

Truffle Truffle…Yummy Yummy!

Good Morning Darlings!

When I arrived home from St. Simons yesterday, this precious package was waiting for me. I think this is the best idea for Easter. Especially those of us with no children.

You will love this!

FFF- Movie Premiere!

Friday, April 1st, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Eric and I bought a Flip camera a few weeks ago with the hopes of making some fun videos.

Cooking videos, you naughty children!! lol

I would like to share our first offering. Chef Jeffrey Gardner of South City Kitchen and Food Network’s Chopped, came by to teach me how to cook in a tajine. The tajine was sent to me by our friends at Beka.

And now, without further adieu…

Good Morning Darlings!

Although my birthday was in February, my dear friends over at Cake Hag have been trying to get my birthday cake to me.

I got it this weekend. The only stipulation? I had to guess what the cake was filled with.

Check it out.
