FLAVOUR SWAP

YUMMY!!
I am still learning the formalities of the blogging world AND I am SO EXCITED that I found this amazing little blog called
FLAVOR SWAP
It's a blog authored by a few friends that LOVE to cook and share recipe's of DELICIOUS foods!
I LOVE the fact that they have their own favorites, likes and dislikes and they all seem to add a bit of their own personalities to their posts. Most of all, they all actually make what they are sharing!
Perhaps I am even more drawn to this blog because I LOVE the idea of cooking but lack the kitchen and supplies in doing a lot of it. I enjoy that everything is food I CAN actually make!
There are GREAT PICTURES and step by step ingredients.
(and everyone knows that I REALLY need that)
*memory*
...my Mom will never let me live down the day I learned they write ingredients in a certain order for a reason...I was probably 14-15 and decided to add all the ingredients together at once. I ended up with a disgusting oily, chocolate chip paper weight. Totally a waste of food...and like I said, that story STILL rears its head now and then!

So, as I was saying, FLAVOR SWAP looks like a FABULOUS ADDITION to my MUST READ blogs! It's added to the right side of the page. CHECK IT OUT!

Alice Pleasance Jewelry

OK.
Alice Pleasance Bakery is my new FAVORITE place and I won't put on a single pound from her delicious treats!
LOL!
If you are not familiar with this talented lady across the sea somewhere in Italy, then you MUST be introduced.

"My name's Anna, I'm 27 and I'm from Italy. I love childhood and fairy tales...they're my first inspiration and they're always in my mind when I design and make my funny and original jewelry. I love little toys, lucite and glass candy beads, briolettes and sparkling details and everything tiny, yummy, kitsch and cute. Miniature food is my obsession, as you could see!"
(from her profile)

I have seen many of this type of product (I'm Japanese and we're obsessed with miniature foods and things) however, Anna's pieces are truly extraordinary. Her attention to detail shows in her designs. My mouth waters seeing her little treats! I am amazed that they REALLY are NOT the real thing when I look at the photos of her work! They hold something special that can't be written and I think you will agree when you see them. They really are a stand out from the others! No mere slices...YOU get THE WHOLE CAKE!
LOL!
Cakes, cookies, SUSHI, tarts and other fun items will be found in her shop!
Thank goodness for Etsy and my accidentally finding her!
I HAD TO SHARE her with the rest of you!
...*thinking*..."it's lunch time and I am craving sushi..."

PLEASE take a moment to visit her shop:

She also had a very fun Blog: The Cup Cake Diary
Both can be found at the right of my page in my recommendations.
