*Sits at laptop, drumming fingertips together and trying her best to look pensive as she gazes (internally (work with me)) at the beginnings of an idea for a post*
Unlike the Son of God, my ‘Hot Cross Bunnies’ did NOT rise again. They didn’t even rise ONCE. Apparently I’m no good with yeast-based recipes (couldn’t tell you why – perhaps I need new yeast?
