Gastronomique Tour de Colombia v2.4
Esta Domingo! *snort* Today, I'm supposed to go to Usaquen where there is a market like a flea market? Or craft market? I get up this morning...bright and early as usual. I head down to grab a light bite, knowing that lunch will be later and then just lounge around waiting for the rest of the world to wake up. LOL I'm not so sure I could get used to this type of lifestyle. Even if I want to, I can't sleep much past 7. My motto, "If the sun is up, so am I!" So, I knit, I play, I blog, I … [Read more...]
Hola de Colombia
Early January, work tells me that I will need to travel to Colombia to help with a FY2013 budget either the end of January or the beginning of February. Me, "Can it be more towards February? I don't want to be in Colombia for my birthday." So, here I sit...in Colombia...without a kitchen to cook in. My mouth - no matter how much water I drink - feels like a salt lick. I have two weeks of this. *sigh* Can I just say...altitude sickness is HORRID! I was expecting something, but WAS.NOT … [Read more...]

Low Fat Chocolate Cheesecake
I...have a confession to make. *wrings hands* I'm not quite sure how to tell y'all this but. *sigh* I AM AN ANIMAL MURDERER! There! I said it! It's out in the open. I have killed dozens of animals! No, I don't know how I sleep at night or how I can live with myself. I killed dozens of animals just making this cheesecake alone! *giggles* Animal CRACKERS that is. I couldn't honestly hurt a fly...spider maybe, but fly probably … [Read more...]
Chocolate Banana Upside Down Cake
Okay...so I can't take credit for the idea or even the basic cake recipe. But, I made several changes to the original recipe I found (here) that it's kind of NOT the same anymore? *shrugs* And not to mention the changes I'm going to make at some point in time at a later date that's undefined at this moment in time. Man...could I be more vague? I have a few projects up my sleeve but no gumption to actually complete them. Maybe Sunday I will do one of the … [Read more...]
Chocolate Drizzled Peanut Butter Cheesecake Recipe
Chocolate Drizzled Peanut Butter Cheesecake Recipe I wanted to make a peanut butter cheesecake, so I searched and found this one. I used RF cream cheese and egg beaters instead of the full fat stuff. I used the Planters peanut butter. I find it has the best taste of all that are out there...and being the PB snob that I am, *I* should know. *snort* Eating it tonight, I'm thinking it needs more sugar. The tartness of the cream cheese comes through too much. … [Read more...]
