Xagave winner

Whew!  There sure is a LOT to do and see in our nation’s capital… I will tell you all about my fun, tourism-packed weekend in D.C. but first I believe I have some business to take care of.  Congrats to reader Olivia, who will soon be the lucky owner of some yummy vegan baked treats (made by yours truly) AND a bottle of Xagave’s agave syrup!!  Her guess as to what place I finished was one of the closer ones, but was still fairly far off.  Props to those of you who guessed in the… Read more >
