Depeche Mode revisited
I know, I know - I ALWAYS say that I’m stuck in the 80’s and well, fact  of the matter is…I am. Out of sheer chaos in my life, I have not had many chances to do much besides get backstage at U2 and see my fave band of all times, Depeche Mode, upclose and personal this year!!!  So not too shabby for not being able to get out, unless food related.   Even Tiesto came to Houston a few weeks ago - you know how much I love that Dutch Dreamboat, but cakes trump raves. Anyhow, the DM show was held at the Cynthia Mitchell Woods Pavillion - b

How Hubunit uses The Force
Last week, Monkey turned FIVE.  It’s been a big deal at our house for weeks now.  Oh, who am I kidding.  It’s been months.  The birthday WISH LIST started, oh, right after christmas last year.  It included things like a real alien.  A real robot.  And Jello Lightsabers.  Now, last year, Hubunit set a very dangerous precedent.  Monkey got it in his head that he was going to get a space shuttle cake.  I don’t know where that idea came from, but once it took hold, it became fact in his little brain.  I searched every cake website I could find.  I called every bakery to no avail.  So Hubunit offhandedly suggested that we should make it.  Yeah,

The Vegan Dinner
Hello everyone, Yes it has been a very looooooooooooooooooooooooong time and I promised that I would post pics of the Vegan Dinner that I was involved in on October 26, 2009 at Beaver’s Ice House.

                      Karen got me started on Poke I had never tried it before she made this great appetizer for Jody’s going away party. WOW it was great.  Out of respect for Karen I decided to try my hand at it only different.  Here is my version.  The inspiration came over the weekend when my Brother and Nephew came home from a deep sea fishing trip out of San Diego on a great boat called the El Dorado where they scored big tim

Happy Birthday to my fave sister…
Well, only sister…Robin. She is the epitome of coolness and always has been.  Due to our age difference of 9 years, my sister and I have not always seen eye to eye…I guess basically when I came along, she was almost like a built in babysitter…and well, I was pretty much a terror. I actually remember, at the age of about 5, sitting on huge, overstuffed bunny, behind my bedroom door at our house in the Keys - waiting to prey on her.  She also states that at this house, I stabbed her in the leg with a fork at the dinner table.  Probably did, especially if it had ANYTHING to do with food on my plate.  Just ask
