I am thankful for the weekend.

I am thankful for weekends that are 60˚ in November…

…with blue skies and warm sunshine.

I am thankful for nature….

….and the time I am able to spend with it.

I am thankful for a lazy Saturday morning breakfast…

…when I can make pancakes smothered in warm apples.

I am thankful.

    I love the idea of using rye flour. I’ve got to try that.

    Your photos are beautiful.

    After making a pastry crust for a galette with rye flour, I’m convinced this is an excellent cross-over flour, suitable for both savory and sweet applications. It provides such a great texture, too. I look forward to tryin it in pancakes… we eat A LOT of pancakes at our house!

    Cheers,
