It’s wedding season! While most dread wedding season, I love it.  I LOVE weddings. I love being in them, I love dressing up for them, I love all the hoopla that comes before and watching my friends start what I hope to be a happily ever after. You all know I’m a hopeless romantic. Anyone in their 20s and 30s know it’s a thing. I had my first experience six years ago when AC got married and for a while it was 2, 3…4 weddings a year. Lately…a stall. Last year I didn’t have any summer weddings. It was weird and sad.  Thankfully we’ve got one coming up and the bachelorette party led me to this La Bomba Rice.

I wasn’t going to make this today. I actually have a pretty fabulous chocolate marble babka to tell you about. However, to not capitalize on April’s Fools day would be, well…foolish. So for now, the babka must wait. And this white chocolate pomegranate fool must happen.

Wanderlust. The disease is real.

I know I need to stop being a spoiled brat about it, especially since I did just get back from vacation, and it’s not like I don’t have places to go planned for the short term (Denver for Memorial Day, L.A. for my birthday). However my need to travel to somewhere exotic won’t be fulfilled until the fall when Lettuce, Tomato and I go to Iceland/Germany/England/France/wherever we decide to go, and the fact that all of my friends are headed to Africa/England/France/Czech Republic before then does not help. At all.

Therefore, culinary travels through my kitchen will have to suffice, so working my way through the World Showcase brings me to Morocco, the land of a thousand spices for a non-dessert. Yes, I do remember how to cook and eat real food. It’s a Festivus miracle! (more…)
