Just a couple of things.. The initials BLT stand for Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato, and it’s traditionally consumed between two pieces of toasted bread (which has been smeared with Mayo) If you choose to make a BLT sandwich, you should be choosing only top quality ingredients, pay an extra dollar a pound and get the heirlooms, find good quality…
Coconut and Lime Cookies
There are a few things about the coconut lime flavor that I love, mostly the flavor reminds me of a tropical setting, and that’s pretty much all it takes to make me think of my wife. (this happens on many subjects, what can I say? I love the woman) Some of the other things include…

Filipino Ensaymada
I hardly consider myself a master baker, especially when it comes to using yeast. I can wield yeast to my hearts desire, proofing, rising, punching down, and whatnot. However, it’s the shaping of the dough, and the actual baking that usually seems to go awry somehow. I blame it 100% on my own fault, of…
