Hello world - what a year it has been! In recent months I have truly neglected both this blog and my other blog, so sorry. Let's just say that life has taken over and I just have not been able to keep up. But I wanted to pop in and publish one last post for 2013, which has been quite a notable year for me culinary-wise. Last month, I traveled to Las Vegas with my sweetie and had the exciting opportunity of participating as a finalist in the one and only Pillsbury Bake-Off! I was one of one-hundred lucky and talented home cooks chosen for this honor, and let me tell you, an honor it was! Alas, I did not win, but I truly had an amazing time and met lots of great people. And losing did not dissuade me - in fact, I am more encouraged than ever to pursue cooking and baking with a passion! I love it and always will. What better way to show love to my family and friend than by offering them something delicious to eat? None that I know of...
So, the above photo is of all 100 "46th Pillsbury Bake-Off" Finalists. I'm on the right side of the photo, quite near the back 'cuz I'm a tall girl, a few people in from the end... squint and you'll see me (see the lady three from the end in the back row, wearing a bright mint-green sweater? I'm just to the left and slightly in front of her. I'm wearing black under my apron). The whole Bake-Off Experience was just so incredibly exciting, and even if I never get the chance to do something like that again (but I'm gonna sure try, yes I am!), I will never forget it.
2013 was memorable for many other reasons, but I will leave this blog post at that. Welcome 2014 - let's see what you got! I'm ready!
