Who doesn’t love a savory scone? These are my Dill Green Onion Parmesan scones that have become a hit at @wildvintagemarket each month. A pillowy, buttery scone packed with all the dill, salty Parmesan, and savory sweet green onion.

With all the crap going on in this country under the current regime…I mean administration…At least we have cookies to help us get through it and fight.

Made a vintage style cake for Quinn’s first birthday. Red velvety cake with (lots of) cream cheese frosting.

Fill in the blank: C or P? Hint: both are correct. I made a cake inspired by a post by @blcksmth.bsky.social, and prompted by some random Trumper DMing me with unsolicited business advice. To those that think I shouldn’t be political, even though my identity is a political issue for some - F*ck off

I realized I forgot to post some holiday bakes. These are @easygayoven ‘s chocolate mint marshmallow cookies. They were simply delicious! Tender chocolate biscuits, pillowy marshmallow, and some delicious chocolate coating.

Just going to say this once, for those of you who are new: if a recipe developer posts a photography of a dish without a recipe link, do not reply "Recipe?"

If there were a recipe, it would be obvious. Sometimes pictures of food are just pictures of food.

Oops I spilled my drink! What a better way to celebrate a birthday than with a martini and a triple chocolate and peanut butter cake. Dark chocolate rye cake with peanut butter filling, chocolate buttercream, dark chocolate ganache, and a fudge frosting.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.
