What the heck...

is wrong with my fire alarm -- whenever I roast meat, it goes nuts. However, I can bake fruit crisps and pies from dawn to dusk and not a peep. You'd think it wants me to get fat or something.

Easter Goodies...

One of the reasons I love my neighborhood is the Royal Bagel Bakery, which is a ten to fifteen minute walk, depending on weather. They do special pastries for holidays, everything from hamantashen for Purim to Christmas stolen and struffuli to sphgatelle for St. Jospeh's Day. For Easter, they do ( panatonne... )

I'm sharing these with sanj and ellen_fremedon -- better than a basket full of chocolate, no?
