Testing, testing..

So, this is a blog.
It’s mostly a blog for my baked goods and confections, (which are for sale upon request for special occasions, or no ocassion at all!) but some savory posts can be expected..it’s June after-all, and our Clarion River Organics CSA just began.
My baking and cooking interest revolve around seasonal, local, and organic ingredients. I work hard to do everything I can to only work with such things. (excluding an occasional glucose syrup to create a delicious sweet treat.)
This is something I do in my free time. I work at a great restaurant called,”Dinette,” and I love it there. Come check it out!
I’ll make sure to figure out where to properly put my email address so anyone can contact me with any inquires or requests for sweet treats for special occasions.
Obviously this is going to take me a few solid days to figure out exactly how to use this wordpress program, (major thanks to Jay for setting me up with it!) So, until then, here’s what I’ve been up to in my free time for the past seven months. Just cooking for people I like, for anyone, really:
