makin’ dough!

16Jul10

I love to cook, and I love to bake. But, usually sweet vs. savory requires two different sides of the brain — for baking, you’re being analytical and exact with your measurements and ingredients, and for cooking, you’re using a little of this, a pinch of that, and coming up with something as you go.
