Posted by E-George on February 6, 2010
Matthew’s birthday is once again upon us and with it comes the opportunity (for what else could it be?) to recreate the famed meat cake. This year I took the time to consider what improvements could be made from last year’s version and here’s what I came up with:
Make a blend of ground pork [...]

A foray into chocolate
Posted by E-George on December 22, 2009
After taking a creative hiatus for the last eight or so years, I decided to exercise that part of my personality once again, this time in the form of candy making. Where candy = chocolate. I didn’t think it would be hugely smart to be smelting sugar around Evelyn and figured if she [...]

Out with the old and in with the expensive
Posted by E-George on August 9, 2009
Our house sold, luckily. And, by all market standards it sold in record time, too. We had been debating between two houses while we waited, and ultimately ended up buying a house that was neither of them. Here’s a satellite photo of it
Residing inside a cul-de-sac, it is 2,620 square feet, 4 [...]

Unbridled domesticity
Posted by E-George on April 9, 2009
I have a domestic side. >GASP!< NO! Surely not… But wait! My story gets better! Sometimes I feel the urge to do crafts. The kind of crafts that require a trip (or [squeal!] multiple trips) to Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby is a unique place if for only these two reasons: (1) the [...]

If Billy Mays ain’t sellin’ it, I ain’t buyin’ it.
Posted by E-George on April 3, 2009
And, now glory upon glory, Billy Mays has his own TV show. Set your TiVos folks for April 15th to bask in this goldmine of gratuitous attempt to boost the infomercial industry. BUT WAIT! Don’t order now! THERE’S MORE! Mr. Mays will be sharing the reality TV stage with Anthony Sullivan. [...]

Trip to the Zoo
Posted by E-George on January 21, 2009
It was a glorious Saturday last week, and the temps were easily into the mid 60s. Matthew strangely wanted to leave the house and do something together as a family and since I am not foolish enough to ask, “Are you sure?” I promptly packed everyone into the Infiniti and we scampered off to the [...]

My baby shower cake
Posted by E-George on January 14, 2009
Did I ever show you this? It was the cake from the baby shower my workmates gave me. Not only was the cake a phenomenal white cake with a fresh raspberry filling, but the chocolate stegosaurus is what made it really special. I just stumbled across a picture today and thought I’d [...]

Cake wrecks
Posted by E-George on December 29, 2008
Matthew turned me on to this website called Cake Wrecks that profiles both the absurd and sublime in decorated cakes.

Hamster on a piano
Posted by E-George on December 18, 2008
I realize that I’ve been posting a lot of video lately, but they are valuable bits of social archiving that, in less than 2 minutes, displays a complete balance of imbecility and creative raw genius. Observe.
