I can’t drink, thanks to my new meds, which has robbed me of what I would consider a vital element to my relaxation equation. What can I say? I’m a Flannery. Booze is important. As a result, I’ve been looking for other ways to keep my hands busy. I’ve been doing more baking than you’ve seen here,…
Chocolate-Covered Mango-Passionfruit Cake
Like most people, I don’t really love going to the doctor. Unsurprisingly: paying my premiums is a source of severe irritation, particularly when the all-too-familiar solution to whatever is an unhelpful and ambiguous prescription of “rest.” As a result, I’m generally one to wait things out.

Learn – {Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie}
Occasionally, I wonder how different I would be if I had been born into a family of bakers. I wonder if I’d still be baking if I’d learned, as a child, to speak the language of dough. I wonder if the beauty of butter would still fascinate me, or if the magic of eggs would…
