    breads and muffins, Countdown to Thanksgiving

    I’ve made these rolls twice.  They are fairly easy to make with the use of a bread machine. People love the fluffiness of the rolls.  They also love the deliciousness of these rolls. These would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table or for Sunday night dinner. Pull Apart…

I got to see Jeanne today. We ended up at Jungle Jim’s yesterday. Of course, I needed to take pictures at the infamous bathroom. A winner. I grew up on birch beer not root beer. So I was happy to find this treasure. No summer school today so we are exploring. I got this mocktail for lunch. I love ❤️ how it glowed. Tastes just like Cincinnati chili. Pongo and Gaston got to meet Finley, the Fairborn Middle School traveling mascot.
