United Sweets Of America

So today Slate published an interactive map of desserts from all 50 states in the union, the United Sweets of America.

I am not ashamed to admit that I got so excited when I saw it that I had a hard time typing that first sentence.

Add this to the list of recipes that I will be making and writing about in the fall. I think I will start with whatever states we have lived in, then move on to whichever we have traveled through, then go with what is seasonal when I am baking, then finish up.

I would love family recipes if you have any; if they are top secret, contact me privately through this site, and I will bake them but not publish the recipe.
