    Whaaattt?

    The recipe is from the late 19th and early 20th century, that's when my great-grandfather had the bakery. I've got some of the notebooks where he'd written down the recipes they used.

    What's your weather like 2026

    It has stayed dry but the temperature is starting to dip now as we head into late afternoon. My one weather app says a bit of snow overnight and another one has rain. It will be 3 degrees either way.
