Holiday Pop-Up at Variety Coffee in Brooklyn!


Okay, I'm joining forces with some local bakers and we are creating a holiday pop-up at Variety Coffee in Brooklyn NEXT WEEKEND! (12/18 & 12/19). We will be manning the coffee shop from 10am - 5pm. Stop by and visit, check out the wares and perhaps walk away with something delicious for yourself. Please check out the poster!

Simply ... Blondies


Apparently I was wrong when I said I'd be blogging more. I don't know where the crazy idea I would have time came into my head. The act of touring a play to prisons, homeless shelters, etc. is actually quite a time-consuming and exhausting process. Add on-to that the terrible illness that laid me out for the count this week, and I'm slowly refinding my kitchen (and various parts of my apartment that are buried).
But, in exchange for a lovely hoodie I promised a butterscotch treat for a friend. So, I found this (delicious) recipe for blondies. Don't you love the barter system?

Blondies can be dressed up a number of ways ... this is just a very simple, straight-forward recipe.
