This weekend I took on the Blackberry Bush that had taken over the side of my house. The way was impassable and some of the tendrils were as thick as my wrist. It was such a nasty thing. I had double layers of leather gloves on and it still sliced through them. The abandoned construction [...]
Is there anything more Americana than Snickerdoodles? My first try didn’t turn out and Paul called them Cinnamon Toast Cookies. I’m really sad to say that the taste a lot better with Sugar than Frutose. Its much more in the texture than in the sweetness. I had no idea that they were [...]
