22aebe40a378196c 150x99 Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

Let me begin this post by saying how excited I am to share this doughnut recipe with you. What can I say? Doughnuts are exciting. They thrill me to the bone. Second, let me lay one thing out on the table: Making good, raised doughnuts at home is not as easy as you’d think . For years (yes, you heard me) I tried in vain to make the perfect homemade doughnut—not just a fat, bready wad of fried dough with a sweet glaze, but a delicate, light ring of love with a slightly crispy surface and a wonderful flavor. Like “those doughtnuts”, and I don’t mean Krispy Kreme. I mean the doughnuts sold at the tiny doughnut dive in our small town. They’re the best raised doughnuts in the world. The shop is owned by an older resident of our town whose temperament can range from kind, welcoming, and gracious to a complete mirror of a certain soup purveyor in a certain long-running series starring a certain man with the last name of Seinfeld. Think I’m kidding? The doughnut guy in our town once made my summer babysitter…

The Baby Bistro Cookbook: Healthy, Delicious Cuisine for Babies, Toddlers, and You

The Baby Bistro Cookbook: Healthy, Delicious Cuisine for Babies, Toddlers, and You

From Booklist

It’s only human that parents try to make their children into copies of themselves. In the case of this cookbook, the parent is trying to coax the toddler into eating solid food. The Baby Bistro Cookbook lures toddlers with recipes for slightly sweet vegetables such as corn pudding, and with lightly spiced dishes such as curried spinach and cheese. Author Joohee Muromcew has had success with encouraging her son’s appetite with these foods, so she offers them to other parents. Breakfast cakes, lamb and leeks, Swedish meatballs, gingersnaps, and similar all aim to lure the baby from primitive appetites. For the allergic, Muromcew presents both peanut and no-peanut versions of sesame noodles. Mark KnoblauchCopyrigh…

I’m going home this morning. Home. I’m sorry. But I just can’t help but break out the Judy Garland. “ Oh, but anyway, Toto, we’re home…HOME. And this is my room…(emotional cry)…and you’re all here…(emotional cry)…and I’m not gonna leave here ever, ever again…(emotional cry)…because I love you all…(emotional cry)…and…(emotional cry)…Oh, Auntie Em… there’s no place like home ! You may not have noticed, but I have a very bizarre ability to remember everything about movie lines, right down to the pauses and emotional cries and pauses. It’s why I can’t ever seem to remember some of the simplest things on my grocery list. Too crowded in there. Crowded with fluff, pauses, and Judy Garland. And Toto. I’ve had a wonderful week. So while I fly home and fall into the arms of Marlboro Man, the kids and Charlie, let me share a few glimpses.

10 DIY Food-Themed Halloween Costumes

October 29, 2009 – 6:00 pm | by admin

8f829fe293tressa 150x112 10 DIY Food Themed Halloween Costumes

All of these costumes are cheap, pretty throw-it-togetherable, and will make other people around you hungry. 1. Food Mascots From left: Sun Maid Raisin girl, Morton Salt Girl, Jolly Green Giant, and the Chiquita Banana lady. [Photograph: Tressa Eaton] Sun Maid Raisin Girl: A bonnet, white blouse, head scarf, and basket full of grapes. (Bonus points for sunshine rays emanating from your body) Morton Salt Girl: Wear a yellow dress (preferably with a huge bow) and hold an umbrella. (Fun fact: that would be our own Serious Green columnist Tressa Eaton in the photo!) Jolly Green Giant: Green shirt, green leaf-bearing toga, and green headband. Act jolly. Chiquita Banana Lady: A woven hat full of fruits piled on top, big hoop earrings, and a poofy dress. 2. Deviled Egg [ Flickr: txkimmers ] Most ladies probably have a devil horns headband and tail lying around from a previous devil costume. Multiply that by a white blob with yellow center—ta-da, everyone’s favorite finger food. Get two pieces of white poster board, cut two large ovals (of the same size), and color in a yellow yolk on one. Punch two holes at the top of each egg and string yarn…

e2e065b7c06a 150x99 Where Are You Going, Smitty Baby?

I received this book in the mail recently, but was on my way from here to there to everywhere to around to under to over to Crazyville and back and didn’t get a chance to really look at it in depth until this weekend. And did it ever charm my socks off. It’s such a sweet, sweet book. No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin .

It turns out that last week was World Breastfeeding Week (motto: “There’s a sucker born every minute.” ) In honor of the occasion, here’s what was served at a hospital-sponsored picnic for moms and their babies: If you’re wondering what a life preserver has to do with breastfeeding, then rest assured that so are the rest of us. Personally I like to think that the Wreckerator was in the process of drawing one huge bazooga when s/he was stopped by some killjoy middle manager. Also note that breastfed babies are “reading for anything.” Naturally, I think you’ll agree with me when I say this theory simply must be tested. So, the next time you see a mom breastfeeding, try to see if her kid is also reading. (You know, like this .) Then, once you’ve recovered from the police tasing and posted bail, be sure to report your …

Kidrobot: Yummy Breakfast. Foodie Art that’s Super Cute.

July 30, 2009 – 6:39 pm | by admin

23a7c70418fast 1 150x135 Kidrobot: Yummy Breakfast. Foodie Art thats Super Cute.

Filed under “Happy”. Take a fun break! Kidrobot style. I insist. What is Kidrobot you ask? NYC shoppers know Kidrobot as that store in SoHo packed with crazed kids, teens, parents, tourists and locals-all clamoring for creative, whimsical and edgy art, toys and apparel. As a self-confessed foodie with an obsession with anthropomorphizing foods, exhibit A: my Lunchbox Bunch brand , I fell in love with the “Yummy Breakfast” line of characters, designed by Heidi Kenney. How cute are these little guys?! I call mine (shown above): happy soy milk, sad banana and vegan cinna-bun . Yup. But why did it take me two years of walking right past the Kidrobot store to finally step inside and peruse? Well… What is Kidrobot? If you’ve never heard of Kidrobot, you’ve obviously never gone holiday shopping in SoHo, NYC before, the line runs out the door and around the corner. Clueless tourists and passers-by whisper, “what is …

overheard on walnut street…

July 13, 2009 – 11:42 am | by admin

On Saturday, Walnut Street, one of Philadelphia’s busiest shopping avenues, was closed to traffic for a festival. The weather was picture-perfect, so everyone emerged to soak up the sun. As Omniman and I passed Lush , I overheard a girl behind us, reading their sign aloud… “Fresh, handmade cosmetics,” she commented to her boyfriend. “Now that’s scary.” What’s really scary is that she didn’t seem to think that “machine-made, synthetic cosmetics” were scary. What this girl doesn’t know could hurt her. Most mass-produced cosmetics contain carcinogenic and/or toxic dyes and preservatives. And if that’s not bad enough, many major cosmetic firms still test on animals. How do your cosmetics rate? The Environmental Working Group analyzed countless cosmetics and put together this handy database . Search by brand, ingredient or company on SkinDeep . Rewind to the street fair. At 18 th and Walnut, Rittenhouse Square swarmed…
