We have been making a lot of pizza lately. It is so much easier and less expensive than I thought. It tastes so much better if you make your own sauce and use fresh toppings. This pizza recipe is similar to what I make. Pizza

I like this print because it's of my husband
it is fairly large
I etched the plate for so long that the lines are deeply embossed
the newspaper is an actual page from a French paper
I chose a French paper for several reasons but one is because I minored in French in college, and I wanted to represent that in this, one of my last prints of my undergraduate career
my sister sent me the French newspaper from New York City

That was nice of them.
General Conference Cinnamon Rolls
It's a wonderful tradition! Doesn't everyone eat cinnamon rolls during conference?
Cinnamon Cupcakes/ What I really think of Georgetown Cupcake/ I should really post on this blog more
I went to the famous Georgetown Cupcake the other day. It's right around the corner from where I work. But unfortunately (or fortunately) it's not much of a temptation for me.
It was disappointing.
They are lovely little cupcakes, and they don't taste so bad either. But at three bucks a pop, I lose a little self respect.
I am a baker! Every time I see someone walking down the street carrying one of those cute pink boxes from Georgetown Cupcake (which you also have to pay for, by the way), I can't help but think, "what a sucker". Needless to say I rushed right home and made my own.
Cinnamon cupcakes. A nice flavor for fall. They may not be so pretty or quite so good (I take that back, they were that good) but they are all mine.
Grilled Pineapple Dessert
The recipe:
1-2 whole pineapples
Then make a little sauce for grilling:
6 tablespoons Butter
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
a good amount of nutmeg
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter then add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Add nutmeg. When it's nice and smooth, pour the mixture over the fruit so it's nicely coated.
Grill the pineapple for about 10, maybe 15 minutes, turning it over a couple of times. Pineapple should be just a little golden.
While that's grilling make the carmel sauce:
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
pinch of salt
a little vanilla
Just use the same saucepan. Over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and cream. Whisk continuously and bring it almost to a boil, but be really careful not to make it too hot or the butter and sugar will separate and not taste too good. When it's nice and smooth, remove from heat and add salt and vanilla. (The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, and reheated on the stove over low heat. )
When the pineapple is done arrange on a platter and pour carmel sauce over it.
It's even better if you sprinkle orange zest on it, or you can serve the warm fruit over vanilla ice cream. You could grill bananas along with the pineapple if you want, but that doesn't sound very good to me. After grilling but before the carmel sauce, the pineapple is really good to add to your grilled burger or grilled teriyaki chicken. It's a really generous amount of sauce for one pineapple. I think 1 and 1/2 pineapples should serve 6-8 people.

Opening Night
The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho invited the advanced printmakers from BYU-Idaho to have a little print show again.
Our print show, and the Idaho Paints Idaho exhibit will be up in the museum until the beginning of August. Worth it.
