Holidays

I’m off to Portland to visit my sister for the holidays. Happy new year, and hopefully I’ll  be back on the 2nd with joy and yummy treats. Happy new year!

Daring Bakers December- Chocolate Yule Log (Buche de Noel)

Phew! *Wipes sweat off her brow*. That was tough, and involved quite a few unwarranted jokes at my expense. In fact, a certain someone in my life was known to comment “Wow! That’s going to look the same going in as coming out.” *Pout* Of course, he was also the same person to comment the [...]

Ethical Eating (3)- Organics and Mishigash*
