Folklore and an artsy, fartsy, crafty ending
Well, it’s Thursday, and I’m surprisingly happy to announce that it’s the end of our Thursdayly adventure, Arts and Farts and Crafts. It’s been a fun ride, and I’ve been happy with all of your contributions over the weeks, but I feel like I’ve accomplished what I’ve set out to do with this thing: [...]

When I saw the picture in Dorie Greenspan’s cookbook, “Baking: From My Home To Yours,” I was taken aback. This was going to be the hardest TWD recipe yet! I just knew it.
FALSE.
It actually may have been the easiest one, albeit the most time-consuming. The ganache came together well, as did the ice cream. I [...]
Arts, Farts, Crafts, Purr-sonal Failure, and Redemption
Arts and Farts and Crafts is a weekly artistic challenge. Every Thursday, a new prompt will be posted here on Ugly Food for an Ugly Dude. Then, you will create some sort of media based on the prompt.

Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie - Granola Grabbers
Well, let’s see here. Today’s recipe was Granola Grabbers. I followed the recipe to the letter, even making a last-minute run for coconut.
I plopped my cookies out onto the parchment-ed tray, and I stuck my trays in the oven. Easy. So easy. And if the dough was any indication, these cookies were going to be [...]
You love me approximately that much
Well I’ll be a sun of a gon.
My good Twitterfacebookdorieblog friend Jessica gave me a grand award for all of my hard work sporadic blogging!
I came across Jessica’s blog through Tuesdays with Dorie, and since then I’ve been enthralled with her stories of bridal-store-incompetence, baked goods, scrumptious onion soups, life on the road, Good Humor [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie - Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream
I was really good this week, I swear! After I made the decision to use an ice cream maker for this week’s recipe, I went right out and bought one. I had all the ingredients in my fridge so that I could get right to it when I got back from my trip to Ocean [...]

Read More..>>Tuesdays With Dorie - Black-And-White Banana Loaf
How blaise! I put together a recipe and it turned out pretty well. With the exception of replacing whole milk with 2% milk, I followed this thing to the letter. It turned out well. It was moist and delicious. I have no complaints (and subsequently nothing to write about).
I’m beginning to feel more comfortable baking, [...]
