The Beckyan Deli: Gingerbread House Royal Icing
http://beckyandeli.blogspot.com/2013/12/gingerbread-house-royal-icing.html
Serving up observations on politics, sports, food, and life. Monday, December 9, 2013. Gingerbread House Royal Icing. The final component to a gingerbread house. Is the royal icing. This is literally the glue that holds everything together. My favorite royal icing recipe is adapted from here. It uses cream of tartar. Which apparently has some magical property to help stabilize the egg whites (along with being the other half of baking powder). It really does make a difference! Gingerbread House Royal Icing.

The Beckyan Deli: Strawberry Upside-Down Valentine's Day Cake
http://beckyandeli.blogspot.com/2015/02/strawberry-upside-down-valentines-day.html
Serving up observations on politics, sports, food, and life. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Strawberry Upside-Down Valentine's Day Cake. Today is Valentine's Day! And I wanted to try making something new. Something suitable for Valentine's Day. But I didn't know what it would be. When we got home, I turned to Chef Google. Searching for "valentine's day cake recipes" turned up this list. Which brought me to this recipe. But it gave me the idea of where to start. Strawberry Upside-Down Valentine's Day Cake.

The Beckyan Deli: July 2013
http://beckyandeli.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Serving up observations on politics, sports, food, and life. Monday, July 8, 2013. In Memoriam: Doc "Doctor" Rykoff, 1999-2013. At the end of August 2000 I bought a house. Labor Day weekend I went with my friend Oksana to the Huron Valley Humane Society. The one thing he did still have was testicles. And they don't let you take an un-neutered dog home from the pound. And it wasn't until Tuesday that the vet was coming to snip him! I thought things were great! Why are you leaving? He was a great car passe...

The Beckyan Deli: Gingerbread House Stained Glass Windows
http://beckyandeli.blogspot.com/2013/12/gingerbread-house-stained-glass-windows.html
Serving up observations on politics, sports, food, and life. Monday, December 9, 2013. Gingerbread House Stained Glass Windows. This was the first year that I tried to make stained glass windows for the gingerbread house. And it was a lot easier than I had feared . and they look great! I used a variation on this stained glass recipe. They've gone through all the trouble over many years perfecting the method. Fantastic! Gingerbread House Stained Glass Windows. Makes enough for 10 1" square windows. While ...

The Beckyan Deli: September 2012
http://beckyandeli.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Serving up observations on politics, sports, food, and life. Sunday, September 23, 2012. Perfect, reliable buttermilk pancakes. We usually cook these on a griddle on the grill outside on a beautiful Sunday morning. (And in California, this can be all year long. Depending on your location, YMMV.) I strongly recommend weighing the flour - the consistency of the pancakes depends on getting this right, and it's hard to get a consistent amount by measuring 2 cups of flour by volume. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder.

Fizzy Waters: June 2012
http://brenna-fizz.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Brilliant insights, insane rants, or whatever else I come up with in the middle of the night or while I should be doing something else. Tuesday, June 5, 2012. So I've seen a number of friends now post something very legal-sounding as their status on Facebook. It purports to be a warning/notice to anyone, including government agents, that they do not have permission to monitor your Facebook stuff and that they can't go after you for anything you post online. It goes like this:. Yeah, about that. Travel te...

Fizzy Waters: October 2011
http://brenna-fizz.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Brilliant insights, insane rants, or whatever else I come up with in the middle of the night or while I should be doing something else. Friday, October 21, 2011. All Pretty Rank to Me. I recently read two different online pieces about public school education, here. Are rich kids smarter than poor kids? What on earth do they hope to accomplish? Giving real estate agents yet another lazy-man's method of determining where to steer prospective home-buyers? It's certainly not designed, at least not by anyone ...

Fizzy Waters: Encouragement or Bribery?
http://brenna-fizz.blogspot.com/2013/03/encouragement-or-bribery.html
Brilliant insights, insane rants, or whatever else I come up with in the middle of the night or while I should be doing something else. Friday, March 8, 2013. Time for another small parenting rumination. Or rant, if you prefer. Not sure which it's going to turn out to be. In other words, if you show up to school as you're supposed to, and don't act like some jackwagon with antisocial personality disorder, we'll send you to an amusement park for the day? Unless you're a sociopath. March 8, 2013 at 7:45 AM.
