We’re in the fantastic position of having a few new readers bounce over thanks to the great folks at Smart Girls. Honestly, where was that website when we were in junior high? We had to learn all of our lessons from Zoom.

You might be wondering what this blog is all about. Despite the name, it’s not a cooking blog. There’s a longer explanation, but let’s just say that just like cookies and sangria, we are a little bit sweet but may also get you drunk if you let us. It’s also not a gossip blog, or an entertainment blog. We’re just writing the things that we’d like to read ourselves. If you can’t find it, write it!

If you’re new to the game, here are a smattering of posts to help you get to know us. If you like what you see, we’d love for you to stick around, follow us on facebook or twitter, or drop us a line! (If you don’t like us, please file out quietly.)
