I am not what you would call a regular baker, but when provided the opportunity (read: hosting a dinner party or attending my weekly community potluck), I do love to bake. Scones, challah loaves, pies, quiche — all have seen the inside of my oven in recent months and years. There's something oddly satisfying about cobbling together a delicious, savory treat from what seems like the reject shelf of your kitchen or pantry and delighting friends with a food that is truly easy to make. "What's your secret?!?" my friends ask, when the true, simple answer is always, "Butter and cheese."
So, seeing as I am now confined to my kitchen and home for the time being (my kitchen is my work from home office, my partner has taken up the living room with our very strict work from home supervisor, Chester The Cat, seen below), it felt only natural to use this new (hopefully temporary) office and bake something today.
