We’ve already established that I am no cake decorator (although not quite a wreckorator either) so these cupcakes, while cute, are not super duper. They tasted great and that’s all that counts, right? I used a box mix, one specifically for cupcakes that only used egg whites, rather than whole eggs. It was delicious. The […]

I also bake cookies
By Caitlin Jane in foodSort of. These were from a President’s Choice mix, Oatmeal with raisins and dates. I rolled the first batch in coconut and the second in pignoles. Truth be told, they’re not that great. They’re an odd texture, crumby and grainy, and they fall apart easily. They’re also oddly spiced, too much nutmeg or something. Eh. […]

Cooking on Sunday
By Caitlin Jane in food, making stuff is goodI rode my bike to the Liberty Village farmer’s market and it was worth it. The market’s not huge, but it’s nice, a good variety and there was a band playing. Here’s what I got for about $20: The gooseberries are amazing, and lucky for me, neither Shannon nor Ari like them. Ha. I made […]

Dear Tastespotting;
By Caitlin Jane in food, GripingYou used to be my favourite foodporn site. Then there was a battle about ownership and you went offline and someone started foodgawker so I started going there to satisfy my need for recipes. Then you came back online and I considered both sites to be equal. That is, until recently. Nowadays tastespotting has Patron […]

Obsessed.
By Caitlin Jane in theatreNow I know you all know how much I love my Sirius Satellite Radio subscription, and I know you all know that for the most part I listen to Howard Stern (who I adore). The portable unit I have is actually my second one because they’re not very sturdy. The first one sort of fell […]

Since nobody asked
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crapSometimes I can be a little obsessive compulsive. Today I went through my Koolaid points to see what’s up because I’ve been saving them for YEARS. As you can see. I only drink it in the summer time. Anyway, I snipped each point thing out neatly and organized them by denomination. Lately they’ve done 100 […]

Moving right along
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, loveI’d tried to delete my myspace page a couple months ago but wasn’t able to because I couldn’t remember the password for the email that I’d used to sign up. It’s my oldest email address and I think that it may be completely dead. So after I read an article on boingboing about people who […]

Side project.
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, crochetI don’t really know what inspired this in-between-other-projects project, but my fingers have been on fire pumping it out. Each number will be attached indvidually, and I am planning on mounting on masonite, with a layer of cotton batting over, then fabric and finally the giant granny square. Yes, the hands-for now-are crochet hooks. Right […]

This is the joke that never ends
By Caitlin Jane in food, Griping, loveI wound up at a walk-in clinic this afternoon. Since we’ve been home from Cuba I have been blessed with pretty serious stomach cramps and haven’t had a solid…well, I will spare you the gorier details but let’s just say that the phrase “pissing out my asshole” is appropriate. Now I’ve been told to stick […]

Playing catch up
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, haha, we have funIt seems, in hot weather, I let a lot of things slide. Don’t worry, Treyci and Jana, I haven’t forgotten about you or your acorns. Largely, they’re done, I just need more caps-which seems to be a problem right now. There are lots of things I’ve been meaning to blog about and now’s as good […]
