Day’s Bakery; Bakery Day

It’s bakery day and I’m fondly thinking of Day’s Bakery, the local bakery in my hometown: the donuts and the sugar cookies with thick, colored frosting and candy eyes and the autumn smells of gingerbread and Lebkuchen – oh the Lebkuchen, how I miss it. Time now means the bakery is but a memory . . .

A chalkboard-like sign displaying the store hours is the the left of the door.

The Spice Must Flow

Spice Blend Day! Pumpkin spice has returned (I await Cauldron-Aged Pumpkin Death Wish Coffee), but I’m also thinking about my tweaked & perfected apple pie spice as well as a particular blend that’s found its way onto salmon & chicken and into tacos, hamburgers, & baked beans. What’s your spice blend of choice?
