I always get turned off by desserts with more than 4 words in their name. It gets complicated with so much stuff going on. Salted Caramel Brownies. DONE. I can make that. Oreo cheesecake? Yes please. Cherry-Vanilla-Almond Cupcakes. Thank god cupcake is one word, because I can make that. But bear with me (I just … Continue reading Brown Butter Frosted Rosemary Corn Cake

Friday Night Drinks: Cucumber Gin with Salt and Pepper
Friday nights should be about clearing off tables, putting away study material, closing Qbank (a test question bank thing second year medical students use for our impending board exams), and enjoying a drink. Having a drink is what I do Mon-Thursday...I like it, it tastes good, it makes the last few lectures I'm watching on … Continue reading Friday Night Drinks: Cucumber Gin with Salt and Pepper
Salted Caramel Brownies, the easiest
Oddly enough, I don't love sweets. I was that child that came back after a night of trick-or-treating, flushed face with my pumpkin bag in hand, dumped out all my candy on to the living room floor, and just started at it. After about 3 minutes of staring in awe at my bounty, the fun … Continue reading Salted Caramel Brownies, the easiest
BBQ Tofu and Cheesy Potatoes
So many things are happening in the news that I don't even want to put into words what I'm thinking, but I'm sure y'all can figure it out: 1. Zimmerman got off because of a stupid law in Florida. 2. Texas passed the abortion bill 3. The House passed a version of the Farm Bill … Continue reading BBQ Tofu and Cheesy Potatoes
Weekly Menu
I am the type of person that needs to know what I'm going to eat for dinner the next day as I'm eating dinner in the evening. Well, not need...but I like to think about I'm going to make, and if I don't know, I freak out like a small, lost puppy. Usually I'm pretty … Continue reading Weekly Menu
Apple Tarte Tatin, Mezze, And DC

Presenting: The wonderful, the awesome, the S-! (and a stuffed pepper)
This is a first for the Clumsy Cook Blog, but please welcome a guest writer: me! I just wanted to share that being friends with M- is an exercise in recognizing and coming to terms with your own laziness. M- and I have many similarities. We were both science majors, lived on the same hallway … Continue reading Presenting: The wonderful, the awesome, the S-! (and a stuffed pepper)
A British Breakfast
Arguably the easiest international breakfast ever. A few weekends ago, T- and I went over to a friend's house in Austin. She and her boyfriend had this lovely apartment near 6th street, and we enjoyed ourselves very much As a mid-afternoon snack on our second day there, our lovely yet tiny hostess suggested beans and … Continue reading A British Breakfast
Austin and Brown Sugar Whipped Cream
I really love San Antonio. With it's vibrant hispanic roots, the riverwalk dotted with all kinds of restaurants, and it's suburban neighborhoods with each house being architecturally unique. It's a great city. But Austin definitely has an appeal to it. A college town, the carefree feeling of youth is infectious and pervasive. T and I went to … Continue reading Austin and Brown Sugar Whipped Cream
