“Sometimes I want to clean up my desk and go out and say, respect me, I’m a respectable grown-up, and other times I just want to jump into a paper bag and shake and bake myself to death” Wendy Wasserstein It’s all her fault. I wish I could have stolen it. Jamie tweeted she was pulling out a freshly baked Stollen from her oven a few days ago. ‘Pleeeeeeeease’ came the shout, ‘we want some too!!’ Diva & me fought for it, but I knew I had to make mine soon. Diva had a better chance of getting to Nantes to Jamie’s oven before me, so I took a stab…
