"Stress cannot exist in the presence of pie." -- David Mamet Once again, pie has inspired my weekend meditation! A few weeks ago, Omnivore Books on Food in San Francisco hosted a pie contest. Peop...
In my last Weekend Meditation, I wrote about the inspiring adventure of making thirty-six pies for the wedding reception for two close friends. Inspiration is one thing, but the practical details a...
We know what you're thinking, because we thought the same thing at first! Cheesecake in 2 minutes and made in the microwave?! It doesn't sound like a good idea, let alone delicious one. But our fe...
