Tasty cakes vol. 3

As a general rule, I try not to order beverages that are more than three words long. Small, skinny latte. Cinnamon dolce latte. Pumpkin spice frappuccino. Coffee, for cryin' out loud. So one afternoon when I really wanted a four-word coffee drink, I remembered my vow to myself and decided to whip up my own double cinnamon dolce latte. Mmm, cinnamon sugar whipped cream and a double shot of Otherlands espresso! I made a couple versions on separate occasions, one that was hot and one that was FIVE words (iced!).


The iced one looked just like a Guinness but you can't tell from that picture.




And then the other night, Clinton and I decided to do a one-pot wonder (with my Batali dutch oven from mumsy!) so we did a beef soup. A couple of cut beef shanks, yellow squash, carrot, onion, gah-lic, corn, cilantro, beef broth. Cut radishes and fresh onion on top. It was super super tasty and the bone marrow that cooked out of the shanks was an added treat since it stayed in tact and didn't just dissolve into the soup.





I <3 food.

Hmm, I wonder why one of my posts didn't show up. I only eat bone marrow like, once every few months.
