Sydney's Goodies

I especially love to bake. I suppose you could say that baking is my hobby (it might be nicer to take up needlepoint or kickboxing, something with fewer calories). After a day when everything goes wrong, it's very soothing to come home and do something which works (and is rapidly consumed with signs of enjoyment).

It's also one of my favorite ways to show appreciation. As JP would say, "Eternal gratitude ain't worth the price of a cheap cup of coffee. Baked goods, on the other hand....."

Quick or Easy Dinners
