RENOVATION WELL THE RENOVATION IS UNDERWAY AND I ARRIVED THERE THIS AM TO SEE THE UTTER DESTRUCTION THAT MUST ENSUE BEFORE EVERYTHING TAKES SHAPE. I HAVE TO SAY I FELT NO SADNESS SAYING FAREWELL TO THE HYACINTH WALLPAPER THAT HAS LINED ROSIE’S WALL FOR SO MANY YEARS OR THE BIG WOOD STRUCTURE ON WHICH WE […]
4th of July Kitchen Sink Pie
One day when I was making pies for the stores, I found myself with small amounts of leftover fillings from different batches of pies I had made. I needed one more large pie, but did not have enough of any one fruit so I threw all the leftover fillings into one pie and Voila!; one delicious […]
The Winner of I had a Chocolate Orgasm last night from Rosie’s Bumper Sticker Contest
Kudos to Danielle Curry for coming up with a bumper sticker photo that is just “so Rosie’s”! Not only does she also know about my favorite college haunt in Berkeley California King Pin Donuts (yum) because she herself lives in California, but she apparently loves wild animal skins (fake of course) as do I, as […]
Look What’s Coming up Rosie’s!
I wasn’t sure someone was going to come up with the perfect catch phrase for our weekly special but someone did: What’s coming up Rosie’s was one of the entrees and so we are going to name our weekly special: Look What’s Coming up Rosie’s!! What the winner doesn’t know is that I went to […]
The Ying and Yang of Rosie’s
As we get closer to the renovation of our Chestnut Hill store, I am becoming more and more excited; for me it is a renewal and a time for creativity. Although I will certainly miss the vintage lilac wallpaper that has lined Rosie’s walls for 30 years, I look forward with great anticipation to our new […]
A New Kind of Chocolate Chip Cookie
I have been thinking that I want to come up with a chocolate chip cookie that tastes as yummy as the one that Rosie’s sells now but that is made with olive oil instead of butter, whole wheat flour, organic sugar and a tiny bit of whole oats. I have made my first attempt and […]
Wedding Season
Wedding season is upon us and it always amazes me that many couples wait to deal with their cake until everything else has been figured out. In each of my past 2 weddings, deciding on the cake was at the top of my list. I remember as well the first wedding cake that I baked […]
Failure To Launch
MY CHOCOLATE CAKE EXPERIENCE So…tonight I was in the mood to bake a chocolate cake other than one of my own. I looked on Epicurious and found a recipe that had a good amount of chocolate and cocoa and decided it would be a good one to try. It called for measuring out all the […]
Renovations For Our Chestnut Hill Location
It is just astounding to me how fast the seasons fly by. I have been excited for the summer to come for many obvious reasons (like warmth and getting tan, swimming and barbecues and the ocean to name a few), but mostly because Rosie’s in Chestnut Hill will be having a much overdue face-lift which […]
Miami Sweets
I had always loved the Lemon Coconut Cake at Junior’s in Miami Beach and of course the Key Lime Pie at Joe’s Stone Crab. Unfortunately, Junior’s, an icon of the past, is gone and I realized that I should check out the pastries that were found at the Latino and Cuban bakeries around the city. […]
