Sweet Spot #21: Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget

I, like most people, am guilty of what some call “champagne taste on a beer budget” or “eyes bigger than her stomach” or “expensive” or simply “living beyond her means”.

My good friend blew my mind when she showed me this blog. The writer is also a food stylist, photographer and awesome chef. With each new blog post my brain gets a new wrinkle! I drool in awe at everything she posts.
I am debuting her blog, La Tartine Gourmande, in my blog post, with a scrumptious recipe for Spiced pumpkin pots de crème with sautéed apples and pistachios, perfect for this Thanksgiving season. I will try them this weekend and report back – pause for anticipation squeals – in the Comments section.

Sweet Spot #6: Plan to Plate the Perfect Party

I don’t even know how I found these, but I’m wondering where they’ve been all my life! It was like the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot. I dreamt about the Holy Grail of party plates, but couldn’t ever find it. I knew I’d seen them somewhere before, but what are they called, and how can [...]

Sweet Spot #2: More bling for your byte

This time it’s tech time! How big is your USB thumb drive? I’ve got an old 4GB one (not big enough) that I carry in my purse. Anyone wear theirs like a necklace, on its lanyard? Anyone, like me, wish that someone, anyone, would make a thumb drive that we could display proudly?
