**Update: Wonky sidebars have been fixed in Safari and Chrome. My husband is hiding his head in shame. And he says SD readers are way too savvy. Who knew that 30% of you were on Chrome? This is a short and sweet post to announce that the new design has been launched! If you’re viewingContinue Reading
Reason #193 why my husband rocks: He’s a web designer. Which, for me, translates into having someone around who not only knows how to give my little blog a new logo and a badly-needed redesign, but is just as excited as I am about the whole project. Oh, and he does it for free. OrContinue Reading

Friends! Guess what? We have a winner! You were kind of expecting that, though, weren’t you?

You’ve been awesome. You’ve been witty and fun and gracious, and just as in love with flour and sugar and eggs as I am. Starting up this blog, I was excited about the prospect of having my own corner of cyberspace to throw powdered sugar around in. But what I enjoy even more is theContinue Reading
Season changes give me ants in my pants. Proverbially. In the spirit of turning seasons, my little blog has been undergoing some changes. The astute reader will have noticed. And of course all of my readers are astute. And attractive. And clever. It’s really nothing major, mostly just a couple of useful sidebar widgets, andContinue Reading
