It's not perfect, but considering it's the first time I really brought everything together, I approve. Practice makes perfect, boys and girls.

Happy Birthday Andrew
Yes, maybe your birthday was actually weeks ago.
...hey look, pie! Blueberry!
I'm not sure what this blog should be, exactly. Do you people want the recipes for this stuff? In all honesty, the blueprints for these delicious baked goods don't spring forth from my forehead fully formed, like the goddess Athena. They are the end result of a deeply personal spiritual journey that involves a) going to the google and b) typing in "recipes." 90% of the time, my modifications are simply either adding nutmeg (mmm, nutmeg) or substituting a cheap/easy to find ingredient for an expensive/rare one (cream cheese for mascarpone, anyone?).
Adding to the problem is the urban sprawl of my blog community. Blogspot lists 8 of them, three of which are technically the same, one which only updates one month out of every year, and another to which I don't exactly... contribute. At all. The bulk of my internet presence is spread over the three most-frequently updated ones, and that's probably two (or three) more than is necessary.
What is a boy to do?

I'll show myself out
Flavonoids, amiright? Antioxidants! Healthy! Excellent name! They cut down on allergic reactions, inflammations, infections, and cancer. So, eat your citrus, kids, along with tea, wine, and (very) dark chocolate. So dark, in fact (>70% cocoa), that it's almost impossible to find in the US.
NUTS.

Aesthetic Deficiencies
Like all good bakers*, my work space become ridiculously dirty as I go about my business. The photo above is the lone surviving pâte à choux from last night's baking session, soon to become a cream puff. It's a little undersized, but tasty.
*no good bakers.
Food Blag
There has been some request recently for a food/comic blog. As I am a man of the people, I will not disappoint. Really, what's one more blog in the scheme of things? To kick things off, here are a few comics I posted earlier.
