Laura Writes

A special thanks to all of you who read me and follow my blog.  I know I haven’t been blogging much lately but the good news behind that is that I’m writing, working on a new book and it’s coming so well I hesitate to annoy She-Who-Shall-Not-Be Named (Da Muse, for first timers!  Shhh!)

There are few recipes more personally intimidating to me than my mother’s mother’s Coconut Cake. I’ve made it twice now. Most recently last Sunday, for Easter.
