(Does the tea towel make you dizzy?)

Ye be not confused by all the dots, nor drunken by the consumption of thus exotic tea

For I am not ruined by the sour bite, nor swayed by the smokiness, but renewed, alas this bake is joy, defined

P1160437

For it is not the destination, but the journey that soothes ones soul

P1160440

and rekindles fires and brings one hope

Let there be bread!

    • Meggars Caffeine, I miss you so much! Thanks for the shout-out. I wanted to call you yesterday, but I could only imagine how tired you must have been after your event. Stay hydrated! Temps don’t look as nasty in the upcoming week for you and Jacob. Now it’s our turn.
      Love you!

      P.S. I haven’t baked in so long. I had to use my noggin and my cookbook! ;)

    • I look forward to your call. I almost phoned at 7:22, but I know how tired you must be after yesterday’s event and then today. Rest late and call when you can. I must grocery shop tomorrow… Cell phone will be with me.

      Love you three!
