We went to Bear Lake for a while. Pre-emptive answer: No, it’s not particularly warm there this time of year. In fact, it snowed a little on Monday morning. We baked lots of round loafs of bread, this variety and Irish Soda Bread. We made 2 kinds of donuts. My boys got $4 haircuts. BC’s […]

Bread. Not Wonder Bread…..this bread. I made some Thursday and it turned out OK — delicious, but ugly. (SO many directions for jokes on that one, but I’ll leave it alone. It’s Sunday.) I made some again today and it looks better. See that wonky party on top? Totally stuck to my towel. And see […]

Here’s where I confess that I always use the “free” (but please send us money) address labels that come in the mail. You know, from the American Cancer Society or Cystic Fibrosis or whatever. Have I ever sent any of them money? Not even once. If you’ve ever gotten mail from me with a Ziggy […]
