Now 74. The best is yet to come!
Indeed it is, Linda!
Love it!
Your third or fourth act is very interesting Kate, you must be thrilled with your success. I totally agree about Moosewood, a timeless cookbook.
This was a wonderful read! Thank you for sharing your kitchen, Kate. Pie Cottage sounds like such a cozy place.
Thank you, Mary! I love my sweet home.
Oh, lovely! Thank you for the scone recipe. I miss Washington State scones.
You’re very welcome, Alison. 😊
