A few weeks ago we went to Farina Bakery, a local bakery I have been meaning to go to for a long time. I'd heard so much about the amazing macarons they make, and they really are that good. And, so beautiful! And, they come in this adorable box! And, the ladies working there were so nice! It was a wonderful outing.
It's fall in Portland now. We just got back from our yearly week at Sunriver where it was in the high 80s the whole time. Our days were full of activity; horseback riding, canoeing, swimming, and lots of bike riding. I haven't unpacked yet, but I need to bake gingerbread. It's a tradition that I make it right when we get back to celebrate fall. I use the recipe from the PDF recipe cheat sheet I made long ago. I still make all that stuff.
