Today marks the day of one whole year of {local milk}. It may seem like an over-statement (it\u2019s not), but this space has changed my life. It\u2019s given my work direction. It\u2019s given me purpose in a new life where I didn\u2019t quite know what to do with myself, where to go with my new found billionth chance after getting clean. \u00a0And of course, what people always say because it\u2019s so wonderfully true, I have met (both virtually and in reality) some of the best & brightest people I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of knowing through this. So thank you all. There\u2019s so much to celebrate, so I have cake & presents.<\/p>\n

So, yes, I made cakes. Many cakes. I made cakes until I created the perfect signature recipe for this space. It isn\u2019t really a coconut tres leches cake, it\u2019s a cake of many leches. All of the milks! Because what better cake for {local milk}? Obviously. The cake recipe is the gift I can give to you all, a labor of love that involved a lot recipe testing. A lot of cake eaten in the name of science. This is a cake you can trust.<\/p>\n

And I got (one of) you a present. Those of you who follow me on Instagram seemed to love those wooden measuring spoons & wooden cake stand from Sophie\u2019s<\/b> (a fantastic little shop on North Market St. here in Chattanooga\u2026if you don\u2019t win, they deliver!) so much that I decided to get an extra set to giveaway. To enter simply leave a comment below, and I\u2019ll randomly choose a winner in a week. It\u2019s my way of saying thank you, thank you, a million times thank you. You\u2019ve all made my life better.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m absolutely overwhelmed by the response. I\u2019d love to go through and reply to each and every one personally, but unfortunately time does not permit at the moment. So just let me say that I don\u2019t think it makes much sense how much your comments mean, but they are one of the things that keep me growing as a writer, photographer, and cook. It\u2019s like a rad, weird tsunami of encouragement. And from the internet, no less! It\u2019s not exactly known for being a hospitable place, and I\u2019ve found it (thank god) quite. No, I\u2019m not complaining. At all. Thanks again\u2026I\u2019m awfully excited for this coming year. The least I can do is make more goodies for you all. And I have another giveaway coming up soon\u2026 so if you didn\u2019t get this one there\u2019s more to come! I kinda love you strangers.<\/p>\n
