Oh fancy baking stuff, you make me so happy. Only problem is, it's pretty hard to justify purchasing a 2$ bottle of edible glitter in silver and paying 7$ for shipping. Maybe someday!
First the Sweet, next time the Savory.
The best site I've found so far is Fancy Flours. They have everything from bakeware to decorations, and typically things I've never even seen in Edmonton. Behold:
Dust Luster in Aztec Gold and Silver.
Mmm Cinnamin Sugar:
And the Extracts. Dear God, the extracts. Over 49 flavors! Anything from Butter Rum, to Rootbeer, to black licorice. I want them all.

Eats
I'm a cooking fiend, which sort of explains my lack of posting, increase in eating and consequently, increase in my waistline.

Classy Dames: Amy Sedaris
First of all, Amy Sedaris is by far one of the coolest women ever. She's outrageously funny, she considers herself a housewife with no husband, she co-created "Strangers With Candy" with Stephen Colbert, and she's one of my heroines.. And by heroine I mean my female hero.. I don't want to inject her and listen to jazz. (Liz Lemon quote -natch)
Here's a video of her making cakes on the Martha Stewart Show. I think either her jokes were flying right over Martha's head or she just chose to ignore them. Either way, I love it.
Second of all, buy me this for Christmas please:
This book is Amy's take on entertaining the old fashioned way, when it was "charmingly old-fashioned, like courtship or back alley abortions." It offers hilarious offbeat advice for dinner parties and such (which won't necessarily be useful as I'm a hermit with no friends, but funny none the less). Want. Below is a video of her promoting it on Amazon
Some random goodness about Amy:
-She's the younger sister of amazingly witty and if-he-was-straight-I'd-do-him David Sedaris (Author extraordinaire and NPR genius)
-She's developing her own scripted/improv tv show for next year
-She's been on the cover of Bust magazine more than any other person. (Best magazine ever by the by, it's the Anti-Cosmo for all you ladies out there)
Finally, she's been on Letterman too many times to count, below is a video montage of some of her many strange moments.

Deadbeat Inspiration
A couple weeks ago I was laid off from my job, since then I've gained like 8 pounds due to baking to keep myself busy. Within 8 days I not only made from scratch, but completely consumed the following:
- Homemade White bread (x4 cuz I'm a pig)
- Two batches of these bad boys
- A Lemon Meringue Pie I made for a hottie.
(Turned out kind of eggy and nasty but whatever, I still ate it. Sigh, I always do)
Mmm Monte Cristo.
This sandwich is so embarrassing and gluttonous that I came thisclose to not admitting that I not only made it, but then promptly devoured it. Deep fried and battered cheese sandwich? Yessum.
Now I'm heavy with child. And by heavy I mean fat, and by child I mean my lil carb-fueled food fetus. I'd like to think it looks like this:
Needless to say I'll be doing some hiking on my trip.
