The day we visited Macau was a rainy one. We splashed around from Senado Square to the Ruins of St. Paul, hunted down Margaret's Cafe e Nata for caramelized, blistered Portuguese egg tarts only to discover to my utter dismay that it was closed on Wednesdays, and eventually ended up, soggy-toed, in the Venetian Macau, which I suspected meant we ...

fig jam & goat cheese thumbprint cookies
We're in Hawaii! I had a filing the night before that kept me in the office about a million hours later than I expected, we packed half the things we meant to pack and none of our laundry, but we made it on the plane (I think I set a new record for the most hours I've or anyone has ever slept on a single flight) and now I'm sitting at B2's family's ...
rosemary & salted caramel linzer cookies
Before we moved this past June, I was beginning to think the idea of neighbors who came bearing welcome casseroles when you moved in and popped by to borrow cups of sugar was a fiction. It's not like we've ever had any true horror stories or anything pilfered from us (although I never did get my office gift basket last Christmas, just sayin') but ...
bacon & sweet corn ice cream sandwiches // my name is yeh x trb!
Last Saturday, something magical happened -- the one and only Molly Yeh graced my little Brooklyn abode with her sunshiny self, and we baked and ate and shot a joint post together. Really! It was the most fun I've ever had shooting a post; I might even go out on a limb and say it's my favorite post so far. There was highly hygienic ice cream ...
blackberry goat cheese thumbprint cookies
Summer has arrived! After the obstinate winter and temperamental spring we've had this year, I was convinced that New York was going to throw down the humid-est of humid New York summers on us, just to be the cruelest mistress it could possibly be. But instead, the universe has reminded me Cynthia, be a smidge more optimistic -- and this summer has ...
fresh mint dark chocolate truffle cookies
OK, y'all. Somebody's gotta be jokin' me. As some of you already know, earlier this week Two Red Bowls was named a finalist for Best New Blog in Saveur Magazine's Best Food Blog Awards. (I may or may not have had to stop typing at least three times in the last sentence to breathe shallowly into a paper bag.) If you feel like voting for me, you ...
cranberry orange shortbread cookies
Here are three situations that I should have learned how to handle better at some point in my upbringing but never did. Ready? 1. Sharing free food. Or, how to go to that lunch talk with the pizza from that place you like and wait in line without freaking out about whether that person ahead of you is going to get the last piece of pepperoni pizza ...
classic no-fail gingersnaps
My oven doesn't like cookies. I didn't know it was possible not to like cookies, but if there was anyone or anything that didn't, it's my oven. (Well, and Bowl #2, unnaturally immune to the powers of sugar and fat. It's weird.) It's mainly that the cookies don't spread -- even with different pans, less flour, different temperatures, and an oven ...
matcha shortbread cookies
Hi again! This past week, I said a wistful goodbye to paradise and headed back home to visit my own parents, while Bowl #2 stayed in Honolulu for a little while longer to enjoy some alone time with his family. It was the perfect, lazy, relaxing trip (and I already miss Bowl #2's mom so much!) but it was time to go home. Honolulu, I'll be seeing ya. ...
the best chocolate chip cookies i’ve ever baked
Today is Sunday. That, to me, feels like a cookie day. I was going to post a delectable recipe I just found on Taste Love & Nourish, these wonderfully decadent but (relatively) guilt-free chocolate fudge cookies, but I've been having problems with my new oven where none of my cookies will spread! And I don't know why! :( (If anyone happens to ...
