When we have family gatherings or when friends come over for a get-together type of event, if it is a pot luck style, I sometimes cook the meal, and then I ask other people to bring dessert. I don’t usually bake, in all honesty, it is not my forté. But once in a while I get the itch to try something new. Sometimes I use a …
