Well, I kicked the tires and lit the fires on my new mixer, she cut her teeth on my first homemade chocolate cake. She still doesn’t have a name, it will come with time, she will let me know her personality and gain her name.
Yes, you should commit me, I am talking about my stand [...]
The best ever shortbread.
