Coquito cheesecake for the road. 😂 Pastry chef Paola Velez Paola Velez 🍇 Bodega Bakes—lets bake together! 🍇 made our morning extra sweet!

I didn’t anticipate going Viral on a Sunday but here we are 😂

No hate given! When this happened I was recently married. I enjoyed my single days and then met someone who I still have a lot of care and admiration for. We’re about to be married for a decade. And have been together for much longer.

I understand a lot of folks are upset I turned down an opportunity (when I was younger) that most people wouldn’t have. But did I mention my husband has REALLY good health insurance? Haha

🥴 cause the RT’s are on fire right now, gotta show folks there was a happy outcome to saying no to an opportunity. 😂😂😂 Thanks for all the love and all the views on this viral post 😂

A lot of folks wanted to know, what was the dessert that I served— Apple butter with Kataifi and fall fruits (figs, apples, pears & citrus— that were bruleed, grilled, macerated and fresh)

Me reading all the comments and RT’s about my husband But knowing that “He’s a good man, Savannah”
