I’ve got dough on my mind all of the time today… and after a quick little knee surgery yesterday, I am stuck on the couch with the kitchen just out of my reach.  Sigh.  On a great note, I’ve been asked to bake doughnuts for a fall cider birthday party here in town; therefore, it … Continue reading →
