all dolled up

I learned about Hello Dollies in one of my top five favorite movies. I have seen the movie more times than I can even ballpark but never made the featured baked good until this past weekend.

The first attempt was structurally semi-successful, but taste-wise quite excellent. And they made the perfect accompaniment for yet another viewing.

It's one of the most wonderful times of the year!

Mallomars are back on our local grocer's shelves!

Due to their heat sensitivity, Mallomars have a season that starts about now and runs until it gets warm again. While I really like summer, I also really like Mallomars--so the balance of life is maintained pretty well for me through this transitional period.

After months of idleness, the time is now(!) to hunt, gather, and begin stockpiling for summer.
