In The English Kitchen today  . . . Pain d'Épices (French Gingerbread Loaf). This is amazing.  Rich and dense and delicious.  The smell alone is beautiful.

I hope that you have a wonderful day today.  Cindy and I are off to Cambridge to pick up a few bits we ordered from Costco.  Whatever you get up to, stay safe and be happy. Be blessed. Don't forget!
