That’s it! I keep hearing so much lately about homemade bread…I’m breaking out my stainless steel bread bowl…the one that’s all pock marked with dents from marbles being whirled around in it back in the ’80s.
Is there a better fragrance in a home in the fall?
I love the feel of working with the dough…kneading by [...]

Just now I heard a clunk! on our front [...]

I envy gray-haired women. Seriously. It’s not that I wish I had gray hair. I already do. Anyone who knows me has seen it peeking periodically from my center part and my temples.

“Was it a once and for all watershed moment, w/ occasional tests to your resolve, or has it been a gradual healing?”
