Bake with abandon!
I’m telling this story out of order. I was so excited about my new perfectly engineered caffettiera from Oderin’s, I forgot the before and after parts. It was cold, as Kingston is in winter. How cold? Ice sculptures and outdoor rink cold. If the above …
I officially surrender. There are no decent blog templates out there for foodies. At least not ones that work with Blogger.
