Hello, my name is Tess and I'm a blendaholic. Don't be alarmed. You can enable this addiction without too much collateral damage. But proceed with caution. This recipe is deceptive, and will kick even the most sober cream dreamer, wheat weeper, and sugar addict into denial.
We were baking! Not the "put a pie in the oven" kind of baking. Rather, the "it's too hot for humans" kind of baking, where you're sweating in embarrassing places you didn't know could weep for themselves.
In the midst of a culinary wet dream I was ready to "coat-check" my teeth, and swear off solids for life. That might just be the moment The Blender Girl was born!
