I am not much of a baker, I must say. I do not do cakes, I have not done too many pies in my day, not many baked goods, well, you get the picture. On Friday I was going a bit stir crazy, so I decided to make some bread. I made the dough, but…… Continue reading I do not bake…

Hi there bloggies… I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. As most of you know, today is one of my top (3?) favorite days of the YEAR.

One reason for this was we did not have a refrigerator. My friend let me borrow a mini-fridge, and it was a huge help.…… Continue reading Oh how I have missed salads…

Happy Friday everyone. I cannot decide if this week has seemed long or short. There were days when I couldn’t believe it was ‘already Wednesday’ but then there were definitely a few times when I remember thinking, “how is it not Friday yet?” I celebrated the arrival of Friday morning with a cinnamon scone: Wednesday…… Continue reading A TGIF Scone…
