  1. Guest Blog: The Onyx Plate’s Peach Poundcake

    August 14, 2011 by The Yum Yum

    Hint, hint, Gigi.

    We actually have a peach orchard, and people have been bringing us Indian Peaches; for those of you who don’t know about Indian Peaches, they’re actually grey on the outside with a deep, purple-red inside. They’re absolutely gorgeous, and I think Indian Peaches would make an interesting look in the cake.

    But peaches in poundcake already sounds absolutely amazing, so here we go!

    Check it out at the Onyx Plate here.

  2. I See a Juicer in My Near Future

    August 14, 2011 by The Yum Yum

    Kelly informed me randomly one night that she owns five juicers and asked if I would like one. Well, of course, I would like a juicer, but that’s an awfully expensive sort of thing to give away; Michael explained that he and Kelly find juicers at garage sales and thrift shops and buy them, so they didn’t pay a whole lot for it; that made me feel much better.

    Of course, at the time of the writing of this blog, I don’t actually have the juicer in my possession, but you’d better believe without any doubt that I’ll become obsessed with juicing.

    Kelly recommended a documentary that deals with juicing and a kind of juicing diet that helps one reduce various health problems. And honestly, who doesn’t love juice? I’m not a huge fan of carrots historically (one day, I’ll tell the baby story involving carrots), but when I drank the carrot juice with ginger in it, it was absolutely amazing! Danyele admittedly put an excessive amount of ginger in it, but good grief, I welcome ginger, always!

    Does anyone have any particular juicing suggestions at the moment? I’m open to them.
