Cookbook Challenge American: The Frappuccino

by Hannah on March 29, 2011

For reasons that will become clear as you read the following post, I spent tonight going through photos from the American component of my travels last year. I thought it would be easy. It wasn’t.

Some of you might have picked up on the comments I’ve dropped here and there in recent weeks about making some big decisions and life changes.
