So I’ve been looking into budget-friendly pro-grade stand mixers and finally got the one from Instant. And I LOVE it.

You can also make candied lemon, lime, and orange wheels! They’re so gorgeous for decorating cakes, giving as gifts, and making cocktails

I zested 19 lemons yesterday to make lemon curd. I love my lemon curd process because it gives me fresh juice, curd, candied lemon peel that I dip in real white chocolate, and pectin!
Anyone interested in learning as I do it?

Kirkus and Booklist liked DINAH. It was a Bisexual Book Awards nominee--& the finalists were never awarded because of Covid. I think it's a good book. If you want to support a queer YA book, reviews & sales will make ALL the difference right now. Maybe the publisher will decide to keep it in print.

I'm finally using Bluesky for real! I write YA suspense about queer teen girls someone underestimated. I'd love to be friends with anyone passionate about fiction, baking, dog training, neurology, & trauma, esp. if you're a #LGBTQartist Photos: my dogs & hobbies!
