I Can’t Believe They’re Gluten-Free Muffins

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― Tender! Chewy! And..... *drum roll + loud cymbal* gluten-free muffins that stay soft for days! No more baking disappointment of GF muffins that crumble and dry up after they cool off out of the oven, or muffins that taste like they're "different". It... (more)

Ain’t So Fresh Anymore

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― I don't think I'd be bothered as much by getting older if I aged gracefully like these guys. Here's some newly acquired fresh cut gerbera daisy flowers upon arrival... ... then after a few days of enjoyment at home. Still pretty and interesting: (more)

Red Punch

The Land That Ugly Forgot ― A bit of rouge never hurt anybody. I'm always impressed by how a colour can instantly change a mood or communicate. To me this one says, "At-ten-tion!". (more)
