I've got so much honey, the bees envy me. Central Texas Wildflower Honey, that is. But we'll get to that in a minute. I absolutely love simplicity in my food. While it's fun to make cupcakes covered in buttercream and sprinkles and filled with curd/jam/whatever-craziness-I-can-come-up-with, nothing really...
