Also new starbucks seasonal drinks loved one, will not ever try the other ever again. The whoa of springtime hits, yard work, starting an edible garden and seeing the damage winter has done. Erosion and sink hole worries.

  • Nutrtional cooking starts... not alot going on

    Nutrtional cooking starts... not alot going on
    Mar 29 2025

    This is a quick episode. We have had a big month sorry for the delay. Phil was in a car accident, and then other things happened. But this episode covers the nutrtional cooking class, however not the cooking portion. a little tour of Chicago bakeries close to the school and moderate disappointment in what i found. Paris Baguette is still my favorite at this point for actual patisseries.
