It was a total blast! I joined five other bakers, cooks, bloggers and food/photo enthusiasts at an airy, light-filled loft in Castleberry Hill. We snacked and drank mimosas while Tami showed us ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2010/03/05/food-styling-101/ RH and I celebrated a lovely Valentine's Day this year. I made Julia Child's boeuf bourguignon and chocolate pots de crème. I also got some yummy goodies from my favorite bath shop Lush. I'm a little late, but I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day too. :) http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2010/02/20/a-sweet-day/ Wow. It's a little hard to believe that it's 2010. First of all, it sounds so awesomely futuristic but it's NOW. Also, 2009 totally flew by! Seriously, it's all a bit of a blur. And unfortunately, I was so busy that I rarely found the time to blog and document ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2010/01/03/hello-2010/ I started writing a rather long post to share my kitchen disaster story from last night (let's just say I managed to make our crock pot explode), but I've changed my mind. I would rather share some thoughts of how grateful I am for things like kind, supportive friends, my sweet ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2009/11/25/gratitude/ I have just tucked into the fridge some prepped containers for tomorrow night's dinner—a dinner that I'm anxiously awaiting, because (a) it's going to be simmering in the slow cooker all day (and I haven't met a slow cooker meal I didn't like), and (b) it involves mole (pronounced "mo-lay"), ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2009/11/02/holy-mole/ In response to this news story—which I personally find even more unbelievable than the instant wonder "balloon boy" that made its way around the media outlets today—I have to scratch my head and wonder what the heck this guy is thinking. My mom and dad came from two very different ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2009/10/15/umhuh/ I knew that RH and I needed to take a relaxing vacation, especially since our last couple of trips that lasted beyond a long weekend were whirlwind jaunts through the innermost workings of Seoul, Korea, and a fast-paced tour of all the wonders that Paris, France, has to offer. When ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2009/09/08/i-3/ Greetings from the lovely beaches of Florida! RH and I are on a much-needed vacation in Seagrove Beach, and we're on Day 3 of our trip. There's a lot to write about, and many photos to share, but for now, I'll just tell you that it's absolutely wonderful here. The ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2009/09/07/at-the-beach/ Just super busy. Super exhausted. Super behind on blogging. But hey...look at how pretty this cupcake is! It's a carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and as pretty as it is, it tasted even better! :) Hope all is well on the interwebs. Our regularly scheduled programming will resume shortly. http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2009/08/23/im-still-here/ I will come back to this weekend's festivities, but first, here are some long overdue photos from our wedding day! The ladies and I got ready at my place. After much agonizing, I finally decided to hire a makeup artist and hairstylist to help me get prettified. I seriously thought about ... http://www.sweetfrenchtoast.com/2009/07/28/but-firstgetting-ready/
