It is a puzzling time in the world right now, as COVID-19 has inflicted a great deal of stress and sadness, and turned our day-to-day lifestyles upside down. My heart goes out to all of those directly affected by the virus, as well as everyone who is struggling financially and/or emotionally. There isn’t much that…

Autumn Pancakes for Two
