Roof – {Best Birthday Cake with Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting}

May 21, 2012 by Whisk Kid

It was 6 PM on a cool Sunday in May, and our waitress was enjoying the leisurely trickle of customers through the patio door. It wasn’t really warm enough to justify the icy pitcher of sangria that we’d ordered, but it didn’t matter. After recording our request, our waitress – A – headed for the…

March 6, 2011 by Whisk Kid

In this onslaught of snow, the speed limit signs annotating the shoulders taunt me.

I know how fast I could be driving down this winding road, but, considering the conditions, even the…
