Wow, what a week / 10 days it has been! A lot of fun, a ton of work, lots of time in class, and making bagels for Bruja’s Bakery, and a few new opportunities. So many good things, and so little time to blog about it. I often have ideas for posts floating around in […]
A Food Weekend in London

Madrid Open and Other Weekend Things
Hello, hello! Happy, happy Tuesday! (But not really…is it just me or is this week DRAGGING? It should be at least Thursday by now!). But anyway, enough about the week and let’s back up to the weekend. This weekend was strange in that I spent a lot of it alone, but I also did a […]
