gingersnap cookies

another day at the zoo

I’m working on some food posts, but sheesh, photo editing is killing me right now. It’s not that I do much of it, just some cropping here and there and combating the crappy lighting in my kitchen, but it just takes a long time. So I gave up and instead am finally posting pictures I […]
