I am so very fortunate to have the most amazing readers and friends evuuurrr. Really. Sometimes I am even so lucky that I get cool things in the mail. Do you even know how joyous it is to get something in the mail besides junk addressed to the person that lived here before we did …
It’s the 20th! (Already? What in the world?) For this month’s Surprise Recipe Swap I was assigned This and That, a blog that dabbles in Canadian, American, and African cuisine. I’ve been playing with new cheesecake recipes to post for awhile now, because it’s been too long, right? Right.
I made a birthday cake for the wife of one of Chad’s buddies a few weeks ago. I should tell you that the test cake a.k.a. the quality control version that we get to eat before I send out the real deal got INHALED. I had to get that cake out of my house. I …
