Celebrating 10+ years of #DoTheDaniel

I couldn’t appreciate the beautiful lattice pastry in Bon Appetit because the ads for Kitchen Aid mixers made me envious (They come in Pistachio now!) and when Lena Dunham was the Vogue cover girl last year I was so body shamed by the time I got to the article that I had to read it twice.
