Come Party With Me

Come Party With Me: My 29th Birthday — Dessert

Every year for my birthday I bake myself a cake.

Every year for my birthday I bake myself a cake. However, I'm spending the actual day on vacation in Spain, so that means the elaborate cake baking will happen when I return.

At the celebratory dinner in Cadiz, I'll offer my new Spanish friends an easy-to-make but delicious-to-eat sundae. Not just any sundae, one that keeps up with my Tex-Mex-inspired menu, a Mexican sundae with cinnamon chocolate sauce and dulce de leche ice cream.

Salty, crunchy peanuts and flaky sweetened coconut give texture to the frozen dessert. To look at the recipe I'll be using, read more.

Love and Sex

Do Food and Sex Mix?

In college, I had this insanely fun roommate that was so wild and free, she made me jealous.

In college, I had this insanely fun roommate that was so wild and free, she made me jealous. She was always full of amazing stories of all the crazy things she'd done.

One night I remember being woken up at two in the morning by joyful screaming in the hallway. I opened my door, rubbed my eyes, and saw her running naked down the hall with a jar of peanut butter in one hand and her bra in the other. A naked guy was following close behind her. I smiled, shook my head, and went back to bed. In the morning, I found peanut butter smeared all over the shower. When she finally woke up, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "We didn't have any chocolate syrup!"

I have to say that I've never experimented much with food and sex. What about you? Do you have any stories to share about food and sex? Are you into that? Is there a certain food that works really well and one you'd never use again?

Keeping It Simple

I love to go crazy making an expert level dessert with layers full of syrups, cakes, creams, and frostings, but I also love creating a supremely simple dessert with one or two easy components.


I love to go crazy making an expert level dessert with layers full of syrups, cakes, creams, and frostings, but I also love creating a supremely simple dessert with one or two easy components. It's because desserts are like handbags, one day you choose your Dior and the next day you feel more like your Target.

Yesterday I was in the mood for an intricate princess cake with marzipan dome and today all I want is vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. The classic "can't go wrong" combination of vanilla and chocolate in its purest form. Pour this chocolate sauce over your favorite store bought vanilla ice cream (my recommendation: Häagen-Daazs vanilla bean) or if you are feeling adventurous, break out the ice cream maker and whip up a batch of homemade vanilla ice cream.
