it's a convoluted mess
When I had a job, I worked in an office that was a big fan of potlucks. One of my coworkers [almost] always brought in Mint Brownies to share. They were generally devoured by the end of the work day because they were so freaking good. When I was copying recipes from my mom, I found she had the recipe for Lilly’s famous mint brownies. So I added that to my list. I’ve been wanting… Keep reading…Mint Brownies…
When I start building characters for a story project, I cast them. I think in terms of, if this were a movie…who could I best see playing the roll? I don’t necessarily stick to strictly actors.

He mentioned those would be a good thing for me to try baking. So I thought I’d look up a recipe to make him lemon bars. Because I am all about baking to spoil my husband. I am so fekking domestic… Keep reading…Lemon Bars…

Perfect Strangers theme song anyone? Eventually I burned all those files to CDs so I would have them backed up. I had them all separated out into alphabetical folders (though looking at it now, some of my categorization was a… Keep reading…Just waiting for a chance…
