My grandmother made a traditional Welsh (I won't attempt to spell it) flat bread made from fried bread dough, which had the consistency and taste of an English Muffin. <br /><br />It is possible that what we know as the English Muffin originated in a particular British locality and is still consumed there but called something else. As in the case of what they call Chinese food in China.<br /><br />Tom Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-86582281781788635662017-10-18T13:49:19.929-05:002017-10-18T13:49:19.929-05:00I go for daily walks to fight off the carbs and th...I go for daily walks to fight off the carbs and the Trump's.

Baking is a great way to get your mind off the craziness that keeps spewing out of DC, you really need to pay attention to the recipe and the dough or its shot. The British Baking Show is also a soothing break. <br /><br />Coey, that's what Nutella is for.

If you are a thinking, feeling human being, you can't stop thinking about this lunatic. You know that he is not just relentlessly odious and inhumane, you know that he is a threat to perhaps the most important institution in the world, the United States of America. What kind of man lies and uses a friend's dead child to slander a good man and to make himself look better? No one.

The aroma is like aromatherapy, a sure cure for many a psychological malady. As always, I prefer having a guaranteed rate than have my favorite baseball team put butterflies in my tummy.
