Withdrawals?

Are you experiencing any?

I'm really only referring to withdrawals from seeing edible goodies here on the blog, if you're suffering from any other type, I'm afraid I can't help - or at least not today.  My apologies.

But, if your withdrawals are of the missing edible goody variety, a syndrome I can completely understand since it's been nearly two months (TWO months!) since I shared any cakes or cookies or cupcakes with you, then it's your lucky day.

Why is it lucky?  Well, I've got one word for you - May.  As in the month of May and all the sweets I created during it's 31 days - 24 creations in all.

Shall we get started on the cure?  Maybe we should see if we can find 24 synonyms for "cure...;" one to go with each goody.  Let's play!

Red vs Green

Ever see the red jalapenos in the produce section and think, "hmm...what's the difference between those and the green jalapenos?"  Well, I'm glad you asked!

Jalapenos turn from green to red as they ripen on the vine and as they do, their flavor changes.  Red jalapenos are spicier, but sweeter and slightly less harsh tasting than the green ones.

Give 'em a try!

Mmm...tasty!

Culinary Code

Ever read through a recipe and think, "This is Greek, I have no idea what these abbreviations mean?"  If so, don't feel bad; recipes are sometimes chock full of culinary codes.  Here's a list of  some common abbreviations and what they stand for:

Mmm...tasty!
