It is wonderful and won't last long, which can be bad for one's waistline.<br /><br /><br />The no part of my answer, is that I have been making my bread for so long that I don't use a recipe anymore.

Other baking doesn't happen as often. However I did make a batch of lemon ice cream yesterday. It is quite tasty. I think I will make peach ice cream next.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-1805626821208827382013-08-11T13:53:37.390-04:002013-08-11T13:53:37.390-04:00So fun seeing you yesterday!
