This Saturday night was spent with my good friend Jennifer baking holiday cookies. Besides destroying a kitchen and leaving chocolate ganache everywhere, the cookies were darn good. My friends have a nickname for me when I cook. The Swedish Chef. I have a habit of obliterating everything around me. And making an utter mess. However, the Gingerbread […]

It is those connections that make us real, vulnerable, wonderful. I got […]
