My mother is a baker; the kitchen barstools, something of a counseling couch in my childhood home. This isn't breaking news to anyone who befriended any of our family in the last 1-to-30 years, plus is likely 100% responsible for my personal sweet tooth and affinity for knowing my way around a spatula.
