Ok, it is the city that has captured my heart. We made it out before the snow fell, came home to my daughter losing one of her two front teeth and a lot of laundry. I am grateful for the trees, the ocean, and my children and of course our island life….BUT and this is […]
Ok. Bad news. I ate at least five today because once I started I couldn’t stop. Think crumbly almond, honey, butter and you have a delicacy for the heavens.
