Okay, so I went to this place, Urban Dessert Lab, in Los Angeles. Let me tell you, it was quite the experience. First off, I figured out where it was. It’s on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. Not too hard to find, really. Then I checked out their hours. They’re not open Mondays or Tuesdays, it seems. I went on a Thursday evening. They opened at 5:00 PM that day, so I made sure to get there a bit after that. What I Did Walked in and this lady,…

Okay, so, I’ve been trying to get more use out of my rice cooker lately. You know, it’s one of those kitchen gadgets that just sits there most of the time. I figured, why not try making a whole meal in it? Chicken and rice seemed like a good place to start. First off, I grabbed a whole chicken. Nothing fancy, just your average bird from the grocery store. I rinsed it off and patted it dry with some paper towels. Then, I started thinking about flavors. I’m a big…

Okay, here’s my post about canned squash recipes, written in the style you requested: So, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen again, this time with canned squash. I know, I know, fresh is always best, but let’s be real, sometimes you just need something quick and easy, right? Plus, it’s kinda cool to have that sweet, nutty squash flavor anytime you want, no matter the season. First off, I grabbed a few cans of butternut squash from the pantry. I always stock up on these when they’re on sale –…

Okay, so the other day I was craving something sweet, and I remembered seeing those fancy French cookies, “La Mere Poulard,” online. They looked so darn good, I just had to try making them myself. Getting Started First things first, I dug around for some info about these cookies. Turns out, they’re from way back in the day in France, somewhere on the northwest coast. They’re known for being super buttery and flaky. People online were saying they’re like a mix between a butter cookie and shortbread, which sounded right…

Okay, so, I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about the drinking age in the US Virgin Islands. It seems like there’s a bit of confusion out there, so I thought I’d share my experience and what I found out. I decided to dig into this because, well, who doesn’t like a good mystery, right? First off, I started where everyone starts these days – the internet. I went through a bunch of websites and forums. You wouldn’t believe the amount of stuff that’s out there. Some say one…

Okay, so, my best friend asked me to be her bridesmaid, and I was like, “Heck yeah!” I started to think about what I needed to do. First things first, I got to find a killer dress for the rehearsal dinner. Not just any dress, though. It’s got to be something special, you know? Something that says, “I’m here to celebrate, and I look good doing it.” I started by browsing online, just to get some ideas. I typed in “rehearsal dinner dresses for bridesmaid” and, oh boy, the options!…

Okay, let’s talk about these flamingo cookies I made the other day. I saw some cute flamingo stuff online and thought, “Why not make cookies that look like that?” So, I got started. First, I gathered all my baking stuff. I needed flour, sugar, butter, the usual cookie ingredients. Then, I mixed everything together to make the dough. It was a bit messy, but hey, that’s baking for you. After the dough was ready, I rolled it out on the counter. I don’t have a flamingo-shaped cookie cutter, so I…

Okay, guys, so today I tried to make this thing called a “Trash Can” drink. Sounds wild, right? I saw some stuff about it online and thought, why not give it a shot? It looked like a total mess, but in a fun way. First, I grabbed a huge container. I mean, this thing was massive, like a small bucket, I filled it up with tons of ice. Then came the fun part – pouring in all the booze. I dumped in every kind of liquor I could find in…

Today, I tried to make some cookies, called “sable dessert.” It’s a kind of French cookie. I didn’t know what it was, so I searched online and found some interesting things. It seems these cookies are also called “Sabl,” which means “sand” or “sandy” in French. I guess it’s because of their texture. I saw they are also known as French butter cookies or Breton biscuits. They are originally from Normandy, France. Some people say they are similar to American shortbread cookies, but the texture is different, and sometimes the…

So, I’ve been messing around with some red dessert wines lately, and I wanted to share my little adventure with you all. It all started when I saw this online guide about dessert wines. I got curious, you know? I mean, I’ve always enjoyed a good glass of red, but dessert wines? That was new territory for me. The guide talked about different types, like sweet reds and ice wines, and how to serve them. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” First thing I learned was that dessert…
