Grilled Cheese Invitational

Today is the Day.

It is the 1st 7th Annual Grilled Cheese invitational.   I'll be competiting in the "Honey Pot" Dessert Category.  My sammich?  Grilled Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Spread and reduced strawberry spread.  I'm pretty excited!

Let's see how it goes!  It's supposed to be crowded today!

It's Hot!

Last Monday was my birthday, so I was taken for a massage on Tuesday night.  It was so very cold that night that I got goosebumps as I walked outside to my the massage center.  The wind was blowing, and the thermometer read 50.  Now, I realize that 50 degrees isn't FREEZING, but it's definitely cold.  The wind was blowing a cold air that was chilling my bones.  We slept with the heater on that night.

Fast forward 5 days, and its 98 degrees.  What's up with that?  I mean, I love sunshine like the next girl, but what happened to 75?  80?  Just a 50 degree jump to 100???

To beat the heat at Kiss My Bundt Bakery, we're offering fresh squeezed lemonade.  Farmer's Market lemons are pressed, then mixed with our special simple syrup to sweeten the juice slightly.  At $2 a glass, it's a steal.  Plus, its a perfect compliment to the Luscious Lemon Drop Cake. 

We've got a few light cakes today that aren't so heavy.  Almond Pound Cake, Pina Colada Cake, and Vanilla are other options as well.

I'm sipping on this lemonade right now and eating this tart lemon drop.  And it's helping beat the heat.  I'm not going outside until 9pm tonight.

Back to work :)

It's a Time for New Beginnings

New Beginnings

Spring, Easter and Passover are all about this! 

 

It's Springtime, the season that is widely considered a time of New Beginnings.  For one thing, it's the time when rain brings new flowers.  (Believe me, my allergies are evidence!)  For another thing, it's the time of year when Passover and Easter are celebrated.

Passover

The story goes that God inflicted ten plagues upon the Egyptians to get Pharaoh to release Israelite slaves.  The tenth plague was the killing of all Egyptian first-born sons. Hebrews were instructed to mark their doors as a sign to the Holy Spirit to pass over their homes and spare their children, hence the term "Passover".  After the 10th plague, the Pharaoh freed the Israelites.  As the story also goes, the Jews fled so quickly that they didn't have time to let the bread rise, which is why unleavened bread (or Matzo) is a part of this tradition.  The Jews, in essence, celebrated a new beginning post Passover.

Easter
Easter marks another story of new beginnings.  It is said that Easter is that day Jesus, the son of God, rose from the dead 3 days after being laid in a tomb.  It is this act that is the foundation of modern Christianity, which is why the rebirth of Christ on Easter is such a big holiday for Christians.
 

 

What about the Eggs?

Eggs during this time a year are not just about Easter!   Eggs are an international symbol of new beginnings.  Think about it--at a very basic level, life emerges from an egg when a chicken (or even a lizard) is hatched from it.  Ancient Persians, I'm told, painted eggs for their New Year Celebration (Nowrooz) which falls on the Spring Equinox because of the egg's symbol of life, birth, and new beginnings.
 

 

In each of these stories, we see that this time of year is about New Beginnings.  Think about that for a moment.  Are you in need of a new beginning?  Is there an aspect of your life that could use a fresh start?  If so, when will you begin?
