September 1, 2011 By 21 Comments
That is what I typed into google last night………I was making a chocolate cake that called for 1/2 cup of brandavino. Now I pride myself on my food knowledge.

I may not have an online store anymore but can I just say that I love markets! Especially when you’re sitting at home in your pj’s at 4pm with your feet up, coffee next to you and reflecting on the day. I don’t love markets when I have to set my alarm for 5am but once […]
