I’m actually nervous that Joann from Precious might snatch that Oscar back from Mo’nique.
Joann: “Hi, I’m Joann, haaaaaaayyyyyy, my favorite color is fluorescent beige. I’m already in the music business, shoot, I’m just here to get my GED!”

So, basically for three weeks straight I sit at a tiny table and hot glue gun fabric onto jewelry neck display forms. One of them hadn’t been de-fabric’d since my first year here. Aw. So many Christmasses.
on my mother and chastity
Mother: “Your sister has asked for one of those True Love Waits rings for purity and chastity and waiting for the one you love until marriage. Isn’t that so cute.”
Me: “Ummmm….”
Mother: “Well I hope she really means it. So I found them on this website and I ordered two.”
Me: “Oh, for she and Jacob?”
Mother: “Uh no, in case she ‘you know’….loses it.”
Me: “YOU ARE GOING TO REWARD HER FOR LOSING HER VIRGINITY BY GIVING HER ANOTHER RING THAT IS MEANT TO DEPICT HER NOT BEING A WHORE? ARE YOU JOKING ME?”
Mother: “Ahem” (long pause) “No, I meant in case she loses THE RING…like all her other jewelry, especially the ring you bought her for her birthday. I knew it was a touchy subject, I was not referring to your sister’s supposed virginity.”
Me: “I can’t deal with this all right now.”
Cupcake Class at BCAE
Take my other classes! Holiday Hints and Hors d’oeuvres and next session: Savory Cupcakes or Cupcakes and cocktails!

This past Wednesday night I helped out at Dustin’s ‘How to Bake the Perfect Cupcake” class at the Boston Center for Adult Education. If you know me, you know I love cupcakes, and I would never pass up an opportunity to bake and eat them for three hours. We made 13 different cupcakes and eight different frostings. Amazing, right?
The class was broken up into stations and each of the stations worked on a different cupcake and frosting. While the cupcakes were cooking, Dustin talked about different tips and answered questions.
One of my favorite tips is his use of the ice cream scoop to fill the cupcake tins. You get the same perfect amount in every cupcake without the mess you might get when using a spoon.
The best frosting of the evening was the peanut butter frosting. I included the recipe.
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Vanilla Rum Creme
I assure you, as Two Coast Table’s resident taste tester, they were great. Even after being refrigerated for eight days!
I have had a craving for pumpkin whoopie pies for awhile now and of course to satisfy that craving I had to bake some of my own. I am almost over my craze for pumpkin, which of course will culminate with my yearly pumpkin creme brûlée, then I will retire my cans of pumpkin until next October.
Ingredients & Directions:
Filling:
- 1 C powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 C (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 7-oz jar marshmallow creme (fluff!)
- 1 tsp rum extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add marshmallow creme and rum & vanilla extract (other flavors could be used or you could add none if you so choose); beat until blended and smooth. Can be made ahead of time and let stand at room temperature for two hours.
Every Kiss begins with Kay
Kay jewelers advertising “slogan” for the last 15 or so years.
I disagree. I’d imagine way more kisses begin with a shitload of PBR or some Bud Light, or a gulp of wine-a-box than they do with a cheap cubic zirconia from a jewelry store.
For folkinz. He sure hates miracle whip. i guess he hasn’t experienced the miracle yet.
That is all.
