1. They take their fried dough seriously. Like, realllllllly seriously.
2. Yes, you see that right. In case these beignet fingers didn’t come with enough powdered sugar, there is extra on the table.
3. This entire tray cost $2.20.

Inspired by a dish at Makoto, a traditional Japanese restaurant in Fairfax, Virginia, bartender Kevin Diedrich’s Mexico-meets-Japan cocktail combines Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, Partida Blanco, Combier, togarashi syrup, lime juice and egg white, with a sprinkling of matcha salt on top.

Well, the lead-up games are over, which means it’s time for that two weeks of pre-Super Bowl hype…aka recipe planning!
America’s game means America’s food, so it’s time to break out the deep fryer. This recipe uses the “Hot Mama” pickles from Lynnae’s Gourmet Pickles–which come with a bonus jalapeno kick in the brine–for some spicy, crispy, pickle-y bites of goodness
Starting to feel that chill? Don’t forget that all of ES’s winter recipes are gathered in one place, from bacon-potato soup to snow cocktails.
OK, so we all now know I am the world’s worst cupcake froster, but the rustic look was actually all good because the party we went to this weekend was “hobohemian” themed (yes, my life is basically one extended episode of Portlandia.)
Anyway, the gf had a genius idea for saving our hobo cupcakes (which, by the way, were The Toasted Sprinkle’s delicious bourbon vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream). We decorated each one with a bindle, so that the cupcakes itself could look like an old-school hobo (or a would-be runaway child). They’re easy to make.
1) Break a kebab stick into thirds
2) Cut out square pieces off your most hobo-esque scrap fabric
3) Wrap each one around one or two mini marshmallows
4) Cut some string and wrap up yo’ bindle.
No actual hobos were harmed in the making of this cupcake.
Ya’ll know I am bakingly challenged, but I decided to give it a go this week and help in making cupcakes for a friend’s birthday. I must have been watching too much Food Network lately or something, because I thought I was cool enough to get fancy and try that thing where you pipe the frosting out of a plastic bag.
This is what happened. How the eff do you do this properly?!?
Also, did you guys know that frosting is just butter and sugar?!? OMG that is NOT healthy!
Sorry to keep teasing you guys! But I can’t help it. Full Denmark food post coming soon…I swear.
