A Day of Firsts

I made my first cake today. That might surprise you, considering how much I enjoy cooking. But baking & cooking ate two different things entirely, and whe I've always been a fairly confident chef, it doesn't really extend to the alchemy of baking.

But - there is a birthday and that warrants a cake!

Also made my first chicken pot pie, which is tasty, but since it's a savory, this was not as far out of my comfort zone.

Can't wait to get home & EAT!
