Thank You "COLD" Weather! Thank You George W. Bush!

Thank you cold weather. You have inspired me! Today I ate hot porridge with almonds, cinnamon, brown sugar and milk!

Then I made fresh, yummy bread from a recipe in the excellent book Warm Bread and Honey Cake that I got at the excellent bookstore Domy Books.

And now, off to make some Freedom Onion Soup!
