My sister Cheryl is the best family baker, hands down. To this day I talk very excitedly about some of her specialties, her Whoopie Pies top the list. Like all old school deserts there is absolutely no redeeming nutritional value to them. They are made with buttermilk, chocolate, and lots of butter and sugar. Needless [...]

How refreshing to hear the other side of the pond is not suffering from such extreme cultural amnesia that articles like this can still be written. There's a Kel-Tec I'm considering. It's cheap and small. In fact they bill it as the "lightest, flattest 9mm ever made." Very easy for concealed carry.Other than that, T's back (hooray!!), I have either a new head cold or a fearsome relapse with a sinus headache of doom, plus some kind of tooth issue...I'm going to bed early tonight (famous last words). Ibuprofen is my friend.
{summary}While we’re working to get R’s sleeping schedule sorted out, I’ve been doing my best to pay attention to his sleepy-time cues: ear yanking, pulling his hair, rubbing his eyes, etc. Normally between the time he wakes up and goes down for a nap I have at least two hours to get him fed (milk and then cereal an hour later), washed up, re-diapered, and dressed. Today, he wanted to go back to bed as soon as he woke up so to try to keep him on some semblance of a schedule I had to do everything in abbreviated form. He’s napping now.

While I’m on the subject of cranky babies, something R really likes to do is take his supposedly-unspillable Nûby cup and empty its contents all over himself. You see, as long as you squeeze the valve
I love regional sweets. There’s something very special about having a taste of your childhood still available today. I guess for many New Englanders, that treat is the Whoopie Pie. The name of the treat might sound a little strange to an outsider, but that’s part of the appeal. Just saying the name of these is fun. Say it out loud. Go ahead. Whoopie Pie. Draw out the “oo” sound. It’s hard to suppress a smile when you’re saying something so silly.
Labadie’s Bakery has been in the same Maine location since 1925. That’s a lot of Whoopie Pies sold over the years, and they must be doing something right, because their thriving mail order business sends Whoopie Pies all over the country.
So what is a Whoopie Pie? Basically, it’s cream filling (vanilla or peanut butter) sandwiched between two small, round slices of chocolate cake. Much more than just a cookie, they resemble individually wrapped snack cakes from Hostess or Little Debbie
