Here’s some celebratory (cup)cakes. While there is lots to celebrate in life, right now I’m celebrating my fixed computer! I had to send my poor laptop into the Mac doctors to be fixed. Fortunately there’s a flat rate to send it to the warehouse for repairs and it came back with a new screen (whichRead more

In the meantime here’s the basic recipe I started with. I was a little concerned when I sampledRead more
