We finally did it! The girl and I have been talking about creating a magazine for basically an entire year but somehow we only managed to create the covers and put them up on the wall. But then we celebrated my first year with the girl on Jones Day with a trip to Green Bay,…

Yesterday my goal in life was to make the Lemon Tart with Almond Crust from my Bakeshop Classics cookbook, page 101. The girl got me all the ingredients we needed and even ordered a citrus juicer from Amazon so we could juice all the lemons ourselves. The first thing we had to do is make…
