Mmmm!  The house smells good!  The Craisy Almond Bread (With Craisins and Cinnamon) is hot from the oven.  I've been busy baking, as we will have several rounds of guests, and a few birthday celebrations coming up in the busy week ahead! 

Of course, there were the usual batches of bread, and some Russian black bread too.   I already mentioned the pound cake...  We finally got a workable recipe (and figured out the right size) for hamburger buns.  We've tried a few times over the years, but couldn't get the size and shape quite right.  I think we managed it this time!  We did a huge batch of  yummy AND healthful cookies.  And finally, no baking fest is complete without a big batch of gooey brownies. 

I didn't take a picture of the Russian bread or our regular bread.

And, goop to hot oil and herbalize Kaira's hair after she got a 4inch health trim. 

(It is still nearly to her waist, just two inches above instead of two inches below.)  It made lovely green slime, and was quite fun!
