Lauren has worked at the Red Hen and the Medici Bakery. Most recently she has been baking at home and delivering to people in the Hyde Park/Woodlawn […]

Yearly Archives: 2005I will be visiting New York with my mother and some of her friends from June 25 to June 29. Clotide has compiled some excellent recommendations for the city, but if anyone has any other advice (we did all the museums, etc. a few years back) I would love to hear it.

Those biscuits look great, and with a slice of cheddar, fried egg and goat cheese? Heavem!
