Well, Well, Well! October is a wrap. We turn clocks back 1 hour here
tonight. Like I haven't just gotten used to Daylight Savings Time. I am
not joking. The other day, I was dressing to leave for an appointment
and putting on my watch (one that had not been used for some time) and
was surprised to discover how quickly I put myself together! So, I sat
down to read a bit. 15 minutes later I hear pleading from
downstairs...."aren't you ready yet, we are going to be late!" My watch
was set for Eastern Standard Time, from pre-pandemic times. Since I
rarely go anywhere, I hadn't worn the watch since then. A bit of a
scamper ensued and off we went, at breakneck speed down the driveway.

even buttery pastries can easily become part of your own personal menu,
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day will teach you everything you need
to know, opening the eyes of any potential baker."

have done some experimenting with this skill, I find that it works very
well for a bake and eat but not a keeper beyond one day. But from the
oven, yum!
Once a month on Monday night, eight students gather in Lillian's restaurant for a cooking class. Over time, the paths of the students mingle and intertwine, and the essence of Lillian's cooking expands beyond the restaurant and into the secret corners of their lives, with results that are often unexpected, and always delicious.
