I Set Out to Make Encanelados . . .

And ended up replicating Mrs. Fields’ sugar cookie recipe in the kitchen.  What the hell?

For reasons I cannot disclose at this point in time, I am currently housed in a hotel that’s situated on a stunningly beautiful beach. However, when contemplating said beach the past few days, watching people jump in at around six in the morning, I came to an epiphany:
I really don’t like the beach that [...]
