Did you know that it’s good luck to eat pork on New Year’s Day? You probably did. I didn’t. Apparently, though, it is. But actually, I guess I kind of did know, because isn’t there, like, a lucky pig thing with a peppermint candy pig that you crush up with a hammer or something? Oh […]...
I did something last week that I swore to myself I would never do. Ever. I’m just gonna come out and say it… I…*ahem* I… Iputbaconinacupcake. There. I said it. Are you happy? I put bacon in a cupcake. What? I did. Shut up. The whole thing just felt wrong. I know there are a […]...
OMIGOSH, you guys!! I got my Pottermore email! FINALLY! To celebrate, I made profiteroles! Just like Slughorn serves for dessert at the Slug Club. Well, maybe not ‘just like’, but still…pretty much.

I know both Worcestershire and ketchup have vinegar but the point of this sauce is that it doesn’t taste like […]...
Saturdays in my realm are Pizza Night. It’s the perfect day for it because HRH Beermeister makes them and he doesn’t work on weekends (usually).
