I'm Instagramming the Heck Outta This

Was excellent. Who knew? #cookingnose and paws #catsofmadisonMy nephew made me a Brooklyn Blackout Cake from scratch! Took him most of the day. It was amazing! #baking #cake 🍰Chocolate chip raspberry cake. No eggs were harmed in the making of this cake. #happybirthday #cake #homemade 🎂10 years ago today we threw an early birthday party for my Mom. A week before she’d been diagnosed with brain cancer, and she was scheduled for surgery the following week, a day before her 70th birthday. We got her a laptop and she was thrilled, and scared. We all were scared. It was the last party where Mom was still fully my Mom. When she still had all her words, when she could reliably recognize me. I got this free iPod Nano with her laptop. It’s made it through about 3,000 hours of workouts and it’s still going just fine. I think of her whenever I use it, and I’m most likely going to cry a bit whenever it finally dies too. I miss you Mom. #loveSaturday afternoon #summerMy niece has spent 4 of the first 5 weeks of summer on living in a dorm on campus studying with a college prep program. I brought her loaded cookie bars because I’m the best aunt in the universe. #baking #lovemyniece 🍪Food is Very Social

About the Baker
I'm paid to design websites, but otherwise I bake, cook, draw, write, knit, run way too much, watch a great many bad movies, repair things, and reluctantly practice amateur psychotherapy and medicine. Jack of all trades, master of none? Most likely. But I tend to be overwhelmed with the options the world offers and people usually end up with cookies because of it, so no one seems to mind.
