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

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:26:00 -0500

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

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:15:00 -0500

I assure you, as Two Coast Table’s resident taste tester, they were great. Even after being refrigerated for eight days!

twocoasttable:

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.

I’m guessing the flavors are (clockwise from top left) cigarette ashes, adultery shame, january jones’ leftover hair color and finally bourbon.

I do love Sweet, but wish they’d do more flavoring in their cakes! Not just squirty fillings and the same frostings and cakes all the time.

My tumblr is such a fucking hipster

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:13:07 -0500

It’s so hip and edgy that people are afraid to talk about it or reblog it.

It’s so underground that no one knows about it yet.

My tumblr is such a fucking hipster. Well, that’s what I tell people anyway.

When Yelp businesses attack back: Bookstore owner tracks down...

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:25:04 -0500

When Yelp businesses attack back:

Bookstore owner tracks down unlisted address of review writer ”calling the reviewer a ‘pussy boy’ and a ‘coward’” and gets into physical altercation after a dozen or so hateful remarks to his original post which says little more than that the store is a “total mess.”

This happens to me on a nearly weekly basis, not the physical altercations, but nasty messages. Thank goodness Yelp has rules that protect true criticisms. If my reviews were actually inappropriate they’d be taken down by Yelp staff.

Thank goodness someone is discussing this subject. I thought I was the only own.

PS the bookstore owner says she was only trying to apologize and won’t discuss how she found his unlisted address to track him down and attack the man.
