cold weather = hearty food

On October 21, 2010 By

HP friends, sorry to say there is nothing Harry Potter related in this post. Many more to come, though!

My life, as of late, has consisted of work and baking. LOTS of baking. Not to complain, but woman cannot live on cake alone. (You think I lie. For realz, though, if anyone could it would […]

i scratch your back, you scratch mine…

On July 25, 2010 By

So, I have a favor to ask. But like any good negotiator, I’ll anty up my goods first before asking for reciprocation. 🙂

If you’re like me, you love some apricots. For realz, they are tart and fragrant and inherently sexy. I don’t know what is about them, but they are just […]
