(35/366) Tomorrow we’re going to a Super Bowl party and I was put in charge of the desserts. So naturally I turned to Elise to come up with something. We made a chocolate stout cake and an almond macaroon torte. This is going to be a classy Super Bowl party.

We’ve had record breaking temperatures here in Maryland for the last…what seems like forever. When I moved here people would warn me of the hot summers down here to which I would respond, “Pshaw, I can take the heat.” Ok, I admit, I started writing this post like a week and a half ago when [...]
