What I love most about this hobby is you never know what you’re making until it’s done. I had no idea I was making a sweet yeast cake. It just said babka in the magazine. And so, I made babka (which of course, I didn’t know what that meant until I googled it). Blog this! [...]
I’m sooooo excited! We received a package in the mail today. What do you think it could be? With a quick rip, I saw two DVDs and the name of our wedding photographer. The wedding photos are here! (*Happy jiggle*) I have to be good and wait for Mr. G to come home so we [...]

Let me start from the beginning. G’s dad has a fantastic garden filled with fruit and vegetable plants. We grow our own [...]
I must have had shortbread before. But for the life of me, I can’t remember what it’s suppose to taste like. I had to ask G. and his sister B. if these shortbread tasted like… well, shortbread. It’s a little weird making something without an idea what it might taste like – but then I [...]
My dearest Chocolate Cake, I can’t believe you’re gone. Our meeting was so sweet and yet, all too brief. You were so beautiful. Our courtship was intense, passionate and sprinkled with a hint of nuttiness. You were special – you are special. We will meet again. Another time. Another place. Blog this!
