LOL Hope everyone has a warm and cozy day. My sentiments exactly! The good news is it’s Family Day tomorrow. The stores will be closed, but the sun is going to shine (weatherman isn’t wrong, right?) and the temperature will be above freezing, so that’s something to look forward too. PS: I don’t even remember the last time I’ve had French Toast. Should think about making some… 1 4

My oldest brother is dealing with advanced liver cancer his Dr here has just to the point wiped her hands of him, thankfully he was referred to a Dr in Tennessee, the hospital that he's going to is one of the best, we're hoping they can do more for him. The waiting is the hard part right now. 7

You will absolutely love and appreciate it, guaranteed! i have a cheaper one which is falling apart.. but i love all the extra attachments with this one.. i was looking for a replacement bread pan for our hamilton beach bread maker ... and saw that.. i guess i moaned out loud and Michael said.. what? i told Him and He said, buy it. yours is dying and that one looks more useful. i can't wait to try it out. You're right about cleaning them.. it's so fast. And you can use them to make skim milk into thick froth if it's cold enough. That's fun. LOL 3

What kind of flour? Chickpea, perhaps? The internet says it’s versatile and a good substitute for ap flour. Then again, so is almond flour. I’m feeling the need to makes this, though not with walnuts, because me and walnuts don’t get along. 1 2
