To all those who served our country, I wanted to wish you all a very Happy Veteran's Day especially to @Henry Hunter Chef Henry and for whoever I left out that I am not aware of. We all honor and salute you today and appreciate you serving our wonderful country. Thank you for fighting for our freedom. 🇺🇸 "To our men and women in uniform, past, present, and future, God bless you and thank you.” “Home of the free because of the brave.” God Bless America! 🇺🇸 🙏❤️

I am aware our threads gets so long and lost and we miss an important message. We can all send her an e-card for free at her rehab facility. Here is Karen, her sister's message to me yesterday. Please continue to pray for her that she heals completely and be pain free. 🙏🙏🙏 Karen's message: Hi Sandy, flowers are probably not a good idea as she is concerned they might get her allergies going. The facility she is in actually provides a service where you can order an ecard (free), write your message and they will print and deliver it. The facility website is altaheightspa.com Just scroll down to Send a Greeting :) Not sure what their gift policy is yet but I can check on that. Also, feel free to share this info with the Crust & Crumb Academy crew. Overall, things continue to trend in a positive direction. Still dealing with the affects of all the anesthesia, etc. so not online much yet but I share updates with her!

Hi! This is Mary's sister. I just wanted to hop on and give a quick update. Mary has had a few rough days but maybe... just maybe... she has turned a corner and will soon be popping back on. Overall things have slowly been moving in the right direction... but it has been very slow. Thanks for being such a caring community!

@Paulette Ng I was craving for a good homemade pot of stew with lots of veggies, potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic, onions. ginger and pumpkin. Cleaning out my fridge today. It was so yummy and filling. Has anyone used any of the other features of the instant pot. I have only used the soup, saute and stew. I am very interested in the desserts and never utilized this yet and believe I can also make yogurt in it. Please provide me with feedback as love to put it to good use.

On Saturday at our bake-along, at Crust and Crumb Academy, we baked a Julekake Norwegian Christmas Bread. It is a sister of the Panettone bread which we will be baking this Saturday. It was a delicious bread with raisins, orange peel and grinded cardamom pods. We egg washed it and sprinkled some Pearl sugar on top. The aroma of the house smelled like Christmas and so heavenly as well. Christmas came early this year as since October, we have been baking our Holiday Bake. It is Christmas in November. 🍞 🍊 @Paulette Ng Look what we baked for the Christmas Holidays this weekend. 🤗❤️🪲
