And, I've only read so many posts, but Kelli and Andrew got married to each other? From what I read, it just seemed like they were friends and fellow bloggers, where Andrew would pitch in to help his friend.

I got a bit of nostalgia and looked you up. Just checking in to see how you're doing. I hope all is well in San Fran. I'll drop you a line when I'm down there next. PS I love watching the paths that we all follow. not a straight line in the bunch :) Andrew!

Now as I read how it came to be, I'm inspired! I'm studying to be a social worker and my boyfriend is in fashion but he's wanted to own a restaurant and I love baking and want a cafe. It always seems like outrageously wishful thinking, but hearing your story reminds me that the unexpected can be possible. Best wishes to you moving forward!

I'm going to place an order for Michelle and my mother-in-law, who are feisty critics. I'm sure they'll love them. We had a little girl a month ago, by the way: Lindsey Bryn, 7 lbs, 4 oz!

I think we all worship our mixers, for without it baking wouldn't be as much fun. I love the tall, proud Kitchen Aid on the masthead.
