Things I Want To Put In My Face
Written by joythebaker on October 3, 2008 – 10:03 pm -
What a week. What a week. Financial crisis. Bail out. Katie Couric interviews. Vice Presidential debates. So much has gone on this week I literally feel exhausted by all of the news. I do know one thing. I need the phrase “Joe Six Pack” out of my life forever. Seriously. Out.
I thought I’d treat you all to some blog love. Why? Because it’s free, and free is a long long way from 700 billion.
Smoky Barbecue Sauce- I know it’s not a dessert and I also know that summer is over but I could eat barbecue sauce by the spoonful. Really? Ok… maybe not. But I love the idea of homemade barbecue sauce, especially if I get to use those darling flippy top jars. Check out Cooking for Seven to figure out what they heck I’m talking about.
Ginger and Chocolate Gingerbread- Yes! The perfect introduction into Fall. I’m also thinking hard about pumpkin and chocolate combinations. It’s not too early, right?
Double Chocolate Layer Cake- Oh Amanda, you know just how to speak to my heart. Yes. My answer is Yes! I’ll marry you. Wait…. did you ask?
Sweet Cherry Pie- Are there still cherries? Is it not too late? Maybe there’s something magical in Florida where Mike of Mike’s Table whipped up this pie. Warm cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream- I could die a happy happy girl.
Banana Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies- Abby, what have you done? Would these be a proper breakfast food, because I’m seriously considering these with a glass of milky coffee in the morning. Please and thank you.

Oh those whoopie pies look devine.
…your salt water taffy has me in a fit of nostalgic jealousy. Just sayin’.
Its NEVER too early for pumpkin!
yes yes! let’s plan a date
if i ever hear that damn 6-pack again too i might pull my ears out.
one thing i love about visiting sites from other countries is all the different stuff we have. whoopie pies? tee hee, that really tickles my funny bone! and I love BBQ sauce (or brown sauce as i’d probably call it), but have never thought about making my own. sounds like a plan to me, because BBQ weather is on the way. infact am waiting for the guests to turn up for today’s BBQ lunch. But, please enlighten me – what the freak is liquid smoke?????? I’d also be interested to know what australian culinary classics other people find strange.
Oooh, salt water taffy. I love it!
I am with you. I am done with Maverick and Joe six pack! PLEASE!!!
Great looking treats!
Can we put the taffy in the mouth of she who bespoke of the 6-pack? Like all the taffy?
Maverick and Joe Six Pack be gone, gosh darnit!
Oh man EB that would be a perfect silencing tool. Good thinking!
Thanks for the mention! And on the note of “joe sixpack,” I’ll add the phrase “main street” to the never-to-be-spoken again list. And those whoopie pies look awesome
All of these sound delish!! Thanks for the mention!
I just discovered your website! I love to bake, but I am baking impaired! Your recipies look so wonder and hopefully this impaired wanna be baker can make your recipies turn out half as good as your pictures look!
