I don’t know about you, but I love a good gooey dessert. Especially a good gooey cookie or a good gooey butter cake. And these tea cakes are the best of both of those! Soft and slightly underbaked, richly vanilla, with a sweet tangy glaze. Yum.
Sarah and I have been meaning to grill together for ages. Inevitably, we gather all of the ingredients and our courage to cook with charcoal, and then it pours rain.

A few months before Caitlin was born, Dave and I spent a weekend in Staunton, VA. We arrived on a cold Friday night and when we woke up on Saturday morning, it was a wintery wonderland. By noon, there was over a foot of fresh snow on the ground, and the temperature was about 9°Fahrenheit. […]
