Beth is a wonderfully generous and hard working person who is always willing to lend a helping hand or opinion. We will miss her but wish her luck in her new endeavor of working for the Barack Obama campaign. (voter registration forms are available at the bakery)We celebrated Beth

Our lovely Pastry Chef Peri (formerly Abramsky) Anderson pipes a bit of decor on her 7 tiered wedding cake at her wedding! She decorated each tier at the Night Kitchen and John and I drove it to her reception site in New Rochelle, NY on Saturday August 9th. The dress (and cake) were fabulous. We had a great time and all the girls swooned when hubby Brian performed a new song that he wrote for her

By recycling we have reduced our garbage from 8 to 6 cans per week! Plus the City of Philadelphia is now taking cardboard with the rest of the recycling. Kudos to Mayor Nutter for making "green" initiatives a priority.We have stopped using plastic bags. Yes, there is controversy about paper vs. plastic but plastic bags, biodegradable or not, choke marine life. Plastic is also a petroleum

We get many questions about our cakes, cookies, pies, tarts and other treats at The Night Kitchen. Most often the questions are about the taste or the ingredients but sometimes a person will ask about how we get our ideas. The answer to this is many layered. Some recipes came with the bakery and we had the good sense to keep them. Some recipes were gathered over years of trial and error from

Tonight I watched a cable channel about refitting ones house so that one uses less energy and I noticed that a solution that came up was to get rid of your old toilet and replace it with a low flow toilet. It seems to me that one can take a water bottle of an appropriate volume (one quart or one gallon) , fill it with water and put it in the water hold tank at the back of the toilet to displace

I will admit that I do not read the Local as diligently as my wife Amy does. Today I had some extra time before delivering a cake to Morris Arboretum so I decided to check it out online. This is one page I found and it is great. There are wonderful photos of people enjoying the festival and even a photo of the cake we donated to the Local. I know I had a great time since it was my Birthday.

I found this from my sister Angela's Shared Reader page and thought it was amazing. We are in the process of adopting a girl from Guatemala and even in the nice Westin hotel there one is unable to drink the tap water. So, straw huts aside this kind of invention if made in large enough quantities and sizes could have wonderful benefits today in places like Guatemala. Since it seems that

Amy and I would love to carpool more often but with me having to get home for my two boys and the animals (one cat and one dog) and her having to do closeup duties at work we often do not get to contribute in the car pool sense. So, transportation is a topic on our minds. We love living in Bala Cynwyd where we can walk to many places like the theatre, restaurants, Murrays, etc. Amy used to

I have been having fun with my Google Reader page and collecting blog sites to read. So far it has been about a month of collecting and getting familiar with the process (learning curve thing). Amy and I have always had the environment on our mind but have only recently become more active in doing more then we did about it. Amy got some biodegradable cleaning materials for work just the other

Amy comments on going and being Green. The making of this article was the impetus for us starting the blog. I really liked what she did with the article and I should know since she cut out a bunch of drivel that I thought would be good :-).
