An exhibition in over achievement in which dozens of cookies in two different flavors were mixed, scooped, and baked to sustain a grand total of 4 people travelling north for a long weekend. Needless to say, there were leftovers. A predicament of this magnitude had…

Bake Another Little Piece of my Heath
I purposefully purchase too many bananas, just to allow a few to teeter on the edge of too-ripe-to-enjoy.
