“We didn’t know what we were getting into.” If I had a nickel for every time Bob and I uttered that expression, I wouldn’t be shuffling funds from all the different farm accounts to pay this guy to install the new hood and fire suppression system so that we could finally get the cafe’s beer […]

If it hadn’t been for the saliva-inducing photo of those profiteroles stuffed with peaches and whipped cream and drizzled in caramelized sugar, she’d have just made a pan of brownies. I’d have made it through a lot more emails and caught up with the bills, and the kitchen wouldn’t have […]
