twinkies & coke don't exist in my house. no HFCS allowed & there
are certain food colors that make Boo hyper, so we avoid those as
well. i grew up baking from scratch & so will he
he's been helping in the kitchen since he was 18 months old & he's
got a pretty good grasp of cooking & baking. his teacher says he's
a huge help in the weekly cooking class at school.

mmm. angel food! the chickens are starting to lay again, so pretty
soon i'll have enough eggs to make angel food. i've decided the
extra yolks are going to be either mayonaise or ice cream.
i'll be starting pizza crust dough in a little while, when the
