Sunday Switchup: English as Apple Pie

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Adam Lang

I did another order from The Brazen Head, and thought I’d try out another dessert after a bit of a disappointment last time. I figured I’d try their ‘fruit pie’ (it didn’t say what kind). Sorry that the presentation isn’t all … Continue reading →

Posted on May 10, 2020 by Adam Lang

Well, you remember how I said I was going to order some tarts from Miette for this week? ‘This time for sure?’ Well, I did! And they cancelled the order. Turns out they aren’t making tarts at the moment, probably … Continue reading →
