rugelach. naughty or nice.

December 1, 2011

November 4, 2011

Dear Driscoll’s, I hoped to have a party tonight, just as you asked in your nice PR pitch. You sent me coupons and recipes and a cookbook from Rick Rodgers and asked me to invite people over to join your virtual party. I’m trying not to take it personally, but everyone I asked was busy. [...]
