[G]ood morning, friends! This might be too many sprinkles for a Sunday morning. A little aggressive. I’m in Vermont this weekend teaching people how to make pie at the King Arthur Flour Baking Education Center. The air is crispy and the trees are golden brown and otherwise drunk in love with Fall. I’ll soon be back in New Orleans, back in my kitchen, back being tormented by cat and claw. I hope your Sunday is mellow and more great than good.

The Serial podcast is so good. I constantly keep checking and waiting for the next one, what a great concept for a podcast.

I am absolutely OBSESSED with Serial!! My mom and I devour each new episode and then immediately wish another was available. It’s genius! Then again, I’d expect nothing less from the makers of This American Life.

I’m sorry. But you are just way overrated; not only by others, but by yourself as well.

I wonder if anyone else thought that “the number of eggs a woman has” meant the number of eggs she eats, not the number in her ovaries! LOL! Ooops!

Love your site….. have made many of your wonderful recipes and enjoy your rhetoric and sense of humor……..need to say that first. I am not a defender of anything going on in Ferguson, because I don’t live in Ferguson, so I don’t know what’s really going on, except what the media reports. Since September 11, 2001, cops have been expected to be the frontline in the protection of civilians from terrorists…..a double edged sword. While I enjoy many of the articles in “Mother Jones”, I acknowledge that they are not the most unbiased source of information and all that it implies. Interesting article, though!
joythebaker
you have an interesting perspective. i haven’t thought of it through the lens of september 11th. also you’re right about Mother Jones having some bias.
Sarah
You can never have too many sprinkles.. lol! Such a pretty pic! :)
If anyone needs any more ‘sugar inspiration’ for the impending holiday(Halloween!), I found some really cute ideas here.. https://entertaining.idailyinfo.com/
