I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Here’s a cake I made to celebrate the brand new US citizenship of Argentinian born Diego Gisualdi.

Ok, that was a two-pun sentence as, this last week, we pressed our fermented “must” (the crushed skins and juice of this year’s grape harvest) into wine.

Our 2017 Rattlecreek Ranch backyard grape stomp was smashing—and yes, the pun is intended!

It’s Monday morning; a clump of leftover homemade pizza dough stares at me from my refrigerator shelf, like a hangover from last night’s pizza making extravaganza.

No, I’m not a doctor, but that’s me with a 60cc syringe and a medical supply bag.

While digging my hands into helping the Mending Kids volunteer medical staff during their surgical mission in Armenia, I also got to take time before and after to dig in to some of the local food.

I’m a UCLA Bruin, and I had to sell my soul just to make this cake.

At a Kansas City style BBQ joint, my heart melted as my first taste of a burnt end did the same, in my mouth.

I did this surgical cake last Friday for the Mending Kids “Cinco de Mending” party celebrating the 50th birthday of surgeon Dr.
