New Adventures

I love, love, love to write.
I also love to bake.
I don't know I stumbled upon my new affection for food, but I suddenly went from being deathly afraid of the kitchen to aching to be in there.
For 2012 I've complied a list of recipes I have to try. As I am impatient, I will probably start a little bit early. I've decided to write about everything I prepare in this blog. Hopefully by 2013 I'll be baking purely off my own recipes; but for now I'll use the recipes of more knowledgeable bakers and cooks.
Here's my 52 for 2012!
