Does this make me a desperate housewife? Or just a @thepioneerwoman stalker?
I actually remember Ree's first cooking post, a long, long, LONG time ago. What made me especially remember it was our mutual friend Willowtree, a curmudgeonly, foul-mouthed but completely lovable Australian, posted a recipe right after she did, and the...

Broken heart
I saw his face, I learned about his plight, and now I'm asking you to help. Because the truth is, if you're able to read this (as am I), you're (we're) in a position where you can help. A little, a lot, it's of no concern to me...but it...
