The Brooklyn Nester: Limited Counter Space, Revisited; Pt.1: The Best News EVER!
http://thebrooklynnester.blogspot.com/2009/02/limited-counter-space-revisited-pt1.html
Abode Booze. Brooklyn. Thursday, February 5, 2009. Limited Counter Space, Revisited; Pt.1: The Best News EVER! So, I think the most noteworthy thing to happen in recent times, also happens to be the BEST. Thing to happen in recent times. Believe it or not, these cookies actually weren't made on election day. These pics are so fucking old, they are actually from the evening of the last debate. But, they looked so fabulous. That, I said to myself, how could I NOT. Here, I paint excitedly:.

The Brooklyn Nester: 2 Cakes To Rule Them All
http://thebrooklynnester.blogspot.com/2008/04/2-cakes-to-rule-them-all.html
Abode Booze. Brooklyn. Friday, April 25, 2008. 2 Cakes To Rule Them All. And I are now both officially. Birthday away from landmark ages. In early April, and addROC. Or as I like to call him, Gramps. While I will, on occasion. Search for crow's feet, I'm still far, far. More concerned with birthday snacks. There's nothing like celebrating with a big ol' birthday cake. So this year, with both addROC. Is the best. So, when I came home from work on my birthday I had this bad boy waiting for me! Both of thes...

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. ZZ: I have a hamameh like baba and (to mimi) you have a toot like mama. Hamameh and toot are the "cute" arabic words respectively for male and female genitalia and watching the girls grappling with gender has been hilariously funny. Mimi: Are you a woman? Mimi: Am I a baby woman? Me: Are you hungry? Mimi: No, I'm happy! ZZ: No you cannot go to work and I take the choo choo card (as she reaches for the metrocard in my backpocket). At our First Dress-Up Dinner Party. SLEEP all nig...

Monday, May 24, 2010. Fifteen years ago I married the man I met in this cafe. Thursday, May 20, 2010. The Boy Next Door. Friday, May 14, 2010. I gave it a try. The conversation went something like this. Me: Mimi, stop throwing books. (She laughs and throws a book). Me: Mimi, mama said you need to stop throwing books. (She laughs and throws a book). Me: Mimi, go sit in the corner for time out. Mimi: I like to sit here. Me: You are in trouble. Mimi: I like to be in trouble. ZZ to Mimi: Yeah! She said that ...

zznemo08: Conversations II: Squirrels & Coffee
http://zznemo08.blogspot.com/2010/05/conversations-ii-squirrels-coffee.html
Monday, May 3, 2010. Conversations II: Squirrels and Coffee. The girls are very interested in squirrels who continuously frustrate them by climbing trees whenever the girls approach. In the park on Saturday morning, they asked their father to fix this situation, pronto! She then turned to me and said, "mama, mister not a good listener! I told her she was absolutely right. May 4, 2010 at 5:13 PM. May 5, 2010 at 2:27 PM. ZZ is right, they are not good listeners. My dad also has squirrels in the attic a...

zznemo08: Conversations III: Time-Out
http://zznemo08.blogspot.com/2010/05/conversations-iii-time-out.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. Discipline and two two-year old children is not an easy mix. When I can take something away or deliver on a threat then discipline seems to work. But certain behaviors, for example, throwing heavy objects about the house, require a different approach (you can't exactly take away something that has already been released and you can't threaten to go home, because, well, you are already home). Time-Out? I gave it a try. The conversation went something like this. Mimi: I like to sit here.

The Brooklyn Nester: The Good Ship, Lollipop.
http://thebrooklynnester.blogspot.com/2008/06/good-ship-lollipop.html
Abode Booze. Brooklyn. Thursday, June 5, 2008. The Good Ship, Lollipop. I've never liked Lollipops all that much. Even less so, are small, high-pitched children who sing about them. But, I recently tried a new recipe that is changing my. These charming, little treats were easy enough to make, tasty, and a very pretty addition to our Mother's Day dinner party spread, indeed. Start off by baking some cheesecake! Then, impale the the balls like you're fighting in Braveheart. What chocolaty flavors did I.

The Brooklyn Nester: Oh, Those Scrumptious Southerners
http://thebrooklynnester.blogspot.com/2008/08/oh-those-scrumptious-southerners.html
Abode Booze. Brooklyn. Thursday, August 28, 2008. Oh, Those Scrumptious Southerners. To me, great biscuits are the epitome of southern cooking. Simple, high calorie eats that you can mix and match to almost any meal. They're good at breakfast stacked high with eggs, cheese, and bacon. They're good at dinner lathered up in gravy, beans, slaw, and juicy pulled pork. Heck, they're just freakin' good. So, when I tried Paula Deen's Cream Biscuit recipe. From "Paula's Home Cooking," I nearly croaked. Oh, Those...
