One of my favorite characters from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland is, of course, the magnificent Queen of Hearts: she is so mean, so pushy, so overbearing, so merciless that it’s a real pleasure to watch her punishing a very annoining Alice!To the contrary, in the book, I stand with Alice against the dictatorial Queen…And now
“Waiter there’s something in my bread” really encouraged my bakery instincts! After the bread I baked yesterday my only thought was: “Bake! Bake! Bake!”!!!
