This cake is black. Like really black. Like the cake batter itself is black, in addition to the icing. It’s kind of morbid. And I think a little unnerving. Better yet, the cake is vanilla flavored and the icing is chocolate. But it’s all black. Why did I make a black cake may you ask? [...]
So…I have a friend from college. He has a friend in New York. That friend in New York is dating this girl. Turns out I went to high school with that girl. What a small world. Of course, you are probably wondering why you should care that a friend of a friend is dating another [...]

I have a dirty little secret. Sometimes I use box mixes. Yes, that’s right. Box mixes. Sometimes they come in a pouch, but the gist is the same. Add some oil, some water, a few eggs, and pop those suckers in the oven. In 20 minutes you have delicious smells wafting through your kitchen and [...]
This weekend we went up to NJ to celebrate the Ellster’s 60th birthday. The Ellster is Melissa’s dad and he’s pretty much just awesome. We’ve managed to celebrate the many of the major holidays with the Medoways and every visit is a ton of fun, filled with laughing, relaxing, and eating. Always eating. Usually I [...]
