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…
Would it Help? {Chocolate Chile Cake with Chocolate Avocado Buttercream}
Due to the fact that the local theater runs a weekly $5 special on tickets, Tuesday has become movie night. S and I like all kinds of movies, but we’ve been into more serious ones lately, beginning with Black Mass a few weeks ago, then The Martian after that, and, most recently: Bridge of Spies….
