I saw my wish-list mom, Ina Garten, make this cake to celebrate her & Jeffrey's wedding anniversary. It's nothing at all like our wedding cake, but six years later, change can be good. Six years. In Hollywood, that's a lifetime.
Nice & dense, bittersweet. Seriously chocolate. What more is there to say?
This month, Blog Party's all about the ultimate hand-held food & having a Pizza Party!
Top your pies...full-sized and sliced, or in miniature form...any way you want, pour yourself a drink, and join the party. You have till Thursday, 20 March to RSVP...hope to see you there!

- For The Kid In You
A few of Matt's friends came over last weekend for a night of gaming. Yes, gaming. Not poker or video games, but good old-fashioned role playing games. They're a really nice group of guys, but I often tease them that they're still 12 at...
- Outside, Inside
Normally, it's about the food. Food blog, after all. But this time, the food is more a means to an end. So, I don't have much to say about the goat cheese pasta, or that fact we used a novelty, heart-shaped, pasta in the recipe. Instead, I took...
