I had a pretty challenging cake request this past weekend. It was supposed to be a bass guitar. It was for a girl's birthday and therefore needed to be "blinged out." And it was supposed to be made without any red food dye. I learned a very interesting lesson about this. Red food dye is ...
I love rock ‘n’ roll
the race bug
Fact. I am only in Week 5 of training. Fact. I have not actually run a complete 5K at this time. Fact. I want to sign up for All The Races. I don't know what's wrong with me. I thought I would select a 5K (done) and a longer race, say a 10 miler or a half marathon (also done), and ...
