Yes, it's Wednesday. Not Tuesday. But I'm sure you knew that already! This week, Holly of Phe/MOM/enon chose 15-Minute Magic: Chocolate Amaretti Torte to bake. Here's my problem. Being the procrastinator that I am, I waited until, oh, yesterday to even read the recipe. Shocker, but I didn't have all the ingredients needed to make the torte. Well, I was missing one...the amaretti cookies. A quick trip to the closest grocery store did not help me with my problem. Upon further investigation at the TWD site, you can apparently come across these cookies at Starbucks and World Market as well, neither of which I thought to visit yesterday. You can also make your own, which I did not have time for. So, while I had totally planned on baking with the TWD bakers this week, it was not meant to be. However, I am drooling over next week's selection so I will try to plan better, lol! Check out what the other TWD bakers did with this week's recipe -- it looks great!!! I'll have to scout out the amaretti cookies and bake it when I can. :)

I was so excited to get the email letting me know when I would be posting! I feel very honored to be a part of this. Later, when I sat down to write my post, the emotions really hit me. My grandmother has battled cancer not once, but twice in her life. And thankfully, both times, she has won. She’s a tough old lady! Just don’t tell her I called her old. And she is not the only woman in my life to have been touched by cancer. A dear friend of mine, Denyse, recentl...
