Top Chef Quiz: Camping
We played chefs and cowboys on last night's episode of Top Chef. On a ranch outside of Vegas, the chefs slept in tepees, made s'mores, then cooked over fire pits for a bunch of ranchers. Didn't you love when Mike I asked, "Is Padma sleeping in a tepee, too?"

Off to Market Recap: Fab Apron
When I was prepping and cooking the food for our Sex and the City Marathon at Fab's house, I expected her to offer me a glamorously stylish apron. However, I was shocked to see that an apron is the one article of clothing that she does NOT own. So I decided we should find her one!
Off To Market Recap: White Wine Glasses
Last week I told you about my white wine glass dilemma. The white wine glasses I have all come from the remnants of wine glass sets given to my parents many many years ago. Meaning I have plenty of white wine glasses but none of them go together!Off To Market Recap: Cool Flask
My girlfriend Kristen recently asked me if I could help her find a cool flask for her longtime boyfriend Chris. She has been going through some stressful times and he has been so supportive that she wants to surprise him with a small special gift. I asked you to head off to market in search of the coolest flasks around for Chris.
Off To Market Recap: Butter Bell
A little while back I dramatically declared that YumSugar was desperately in need of our help. Ok that may be a little exaggeration but she recently spent a good amount of money on a special, creamy goat butter (which she expertly turned into delicious goatbread cookies). Before the butter goes bad she wanted to find a butter bell.

My mom is hosting a dinner party and since she does not cook I promised her I would cater the event. To keep things simple she requested a meal that consists of chicken and pasta. Chicken and pasta are two dishes that really take on the flavorings of the food they are cooked and the possibilities are endless: Simple?!
Off To Market Recap: Cocktail Shaker
Andrew, my man about town artist friend from Cal, has begun to host sophisticated cocktail parties at his studio apartment in New York City. He lost the cocktail shaker that he stole from me years ago, so I thought it would be a great belated Christmas gift if I sent him a new cocktail shaker. I asked you to help me find a really cool cocktail shaker that is functional, modern, sleek, and artistic.
Off To Market Recap: Apron
My cousin Alli, who is in high school has recently developed an interest in cooking! To encourage her experimentation in the kitchen, I thought it would be fun to give her a cute apron. I asked you to help me find Alli an awesome apron.
Slippage Aside Bailey's Chocolate Layer Cake Is Divine
My half birthday was last Friday, and to celebrate I made myself a decadent chocolate layer cake. The recipe was something I personally devised by combining several different cake, pudding, and frosting recipes. The Bailey's pudding was an excellent consistency for the inside of a cake and the intense creamy flavor intense and insanely delightful.
