you're hot and you're cold

There are very few things I enjoy more than baking. Maybe that sets women back 70 years. Whatevs. There's just something about a mixer on high speed, beating sugar and butter. It's the happiest sight in the world. And lately I've really gone to town. I've gone through 8 boxes of butter in the past month. 8. Not sticks. Boxes. And I use any excuse to bake. Any sort of gathering becomes a reason to bake a cake or batch of cookies or bars. So when does a hobby become an obsession, and when does that obsession become a problem, and how soon should my loved ones intervene? I'll bring treats for the intervention.

  2. This is one good reason why I don't live with you anymore. I can't afford anymore dentist bills.

  4. When you start blogging about your baking, its an obsession. Think of that hit Julie and Julia documentary a few years back.

  5. Allyson, it's my go-to plate when I want to look like I have cute plates.
    Ashton, after we outlive our husbands and have dentures, we can be roommates again.
    Cary, are you saying if I continue to blog about food there will be a major motion picture made based on my life?
