green

When good bread goes bad, and fights back!

Planning a picnic on the back nine? Don't let any other golfers confuse your cake with a real green!

There is nothing not to love about this cake. The green is so fresh and modern and the little buildings are so elegant and perfectly handmade. I've never even been to Amsterdam and I'm smitten.

It's a shame that any smashing has to happen here, it's such a cute Hulk!

This clever cake is a perfect trap for a leprechaun! He'll fall for it every time. Also, there's a surprise! Hidden rainbow!!!

You simply can't make Halloween cookies with a non-themed timer. Yes, my kitchen is cluttered, but at least it's all season-appropriate.

Now that I'm getting older and slowing down a little (LIES!) and not raging six nights a week like I once did, I can imagine eating bright green donuts shaped like sweet little bears without feeling queasy in the least. There was a time when even the hint of breakfast would send me wretching. I'm happy to be able to appreciate the cuteness and whimsy of green icing.

It's nice to see cupcakes without any frosting on them. The surface of the cake is perfect for the crumbly soil effect around the sprouts. Dare I say it, they almost look healthy with just a little fondant sprout and lack of buttercream.

St. Patrick's Day is coming up on Thursday! I love green, I love Ireland, I love foods that get all dressed up for the holidays! I'll be regaling you with all the best goodies coming through the tubes this week to help celebrate.

First, plaid! Better get out your tartans and get spiffy!

I think we should have a special ceremony where an elephant carries a newborn baby around the neighborhood in its trunk to introduce the kid to all the neighbors. It would be so friendly and exciting! These cookies are just the beginning.

There's no shame in being a bookworm. Look how proud this little dude is!

It's almost time for one of my favorite holidays, St. Patrick's Day! I'm not concerned with my Irish heritage or collecting kisses or wearing green (though I do look very nice in green). No, I'm excited about my good friend Matt's corned beef. he cures a crapload of brisket and cooks it all day, then pairs it with his amazing home made sauerkraut and mashed potatoes and soda bread and Irish cheddar and dark beer and ohhhhhhh... I better get to the gym, I'm fixing to pack on a few pounds.

When I was a kid we used to press flowers and leaves in books. Every once in a while I still find a fern or a daisy in an old book. You can get the same feeling without the mildew!

Green and purple are a good color match. Of course if you want to get into the full tertiary you could add some orange to round things out but I think this is looking pretty nice. Do you care? No? Either do I. Just eat it!
