Tuesdays With Dorie – Low and Lush Chocolate Cheesecake
Just pretend that I have unmolded this cake to get a good picture; also, just pretend that I’ve tasted it. This is going to my parents’ house for New Years Eve. This is the obligatory Tuesday post. I’ll try to update you all on the fallout if/when I remember. (The pale spots are from moisture [...]

It’s been a couple of months since there’s been something this time-intensive and work-intensive for a Tuesday. Couple that with an already-busy week (and all of the backbreaking hard work that I’m putting into Wade Bloggs, the world’s premiere Wade Boggs blog), and I almost called it quits. Then again, I haven’t missed a TWD [...]
