Tuesdays With Dorie – Fresh Ginger and Chocolate Gingerbread
I am going to change the name of my blog to DUMB MAN DOING BAKING. First of all, because I am (in actuality) a male model, and thus a gorgeous dude. What I can tell you, though, is that I am the crappiest piece of crap of all time, and that I ruined something as [...]
Inaugural Address
Here are a few thoughts on the inauguration. Some of them were live-blogged on my Twitter, and some are fresh and new. Based on George HW Bush’s tie choice, I’m fairly certain that he is secretly The Joker. When I saw Cheney in the wheelchair, I had my suspicions that he was going to pull [...]
Tuesdays With Dorie – Berry Surprise Cake
My cake did not rise. I couldn’t hollow it out, so I guess there’s no surprise. How do you feel about that, cake? Me too.

Tuesdays With Dorie – French Pear Tart, or “Tarts and Crafts”
THINGS ABOUT THE FRENCH PEAR TART 1) I could not find a properly-sized tart pan, so I made four mini-tarts instead. 2) I am the world’s worst fruit-chopper, and so every tart ended up with two massive hunks of crazy pear. 3) Rachel (another kind of tart) proclaims that the pear tart is “the best [...]
