the stars are lining up

clearly!

 I feel like the results of

 baking are always 'good' - really, 

you are using butter and sugar and other

 basic goodness? But, sometimes, things just 

fall into place. Perhaps I wanted to impress 

baby Smeaton? A real possibility. 

Anyway, I will share the recipe with you. 

I left out the raisins. And, took it out of the oven 

a bit gooey. Oddly enough, A Williams 

Sonoma recipe, from their Bread Book. 

I admit, it is the only recipe from the book that 

I have been compelled to try. 

But, I will get back to you on that. 

At 13 bucks, kind of a steal?

I think this picture really captures it. 

And with the coffee being

made in the background? I  mean..
