To Live The Dream

Today, I attended my weekly writing class at The Second City, then went to a lovely independent book store to have a writing group meeting with two friends.  The classes teach sketch comedy techniques, while my friends in the writer group send each other short stories and novel selections that we’ve written, and we give each other notes.  This time, in addition to my writing, I brought in a white chocolate torte I made.

And I realized that my new dream in life is to open up a small bookstore/cafe and host weekly or monthly open mic sessions, where people are encouraged to bring in stuff they’ve written and receive feedback from the audience.

Anyone out there care to invest?

It’s dangerous to eat these alone… You could get a stomach ache.

Do you have a hard time deciding between cookies and brownies? Me too. But all your problems are solved, because I baked a ball of cookie dough into a brownie. And SURPRISE! It’s delicious! 
Here’s the recipe!

I am way too excited by this.

Harajuku Crepes, sold at this business in Santa Monica.  I want one right now.  Guess I’ll have to add these to the menu at my future bakery.

The Ark of the Covenant Cake.  Yes, cake. 

When you cut into this cake, light pours out and causes your face to melt away into red frosting.
