Has it really been since April since I posted anything here?! Holy wa! To make up for it, here's a bunch of stuff that I found in the mean time that spans from the spring to the present...

Over the Holidays

-Homemade onion bagels. Not so bad to make really. And they're good.
-Custard from the Bob-In in Petoskey. A new favorite.



--Sour Cream Pound Cake with Lemon Sauce, for my mom's birthday. It turned out pretty well...and pretty.
