Under our recent 70 cm of snow in Montréal, homebound, I made my first raisin bread (recipe from Ricardo, "Pain aux raisins et à la cannelle") ... It tasted pretty good! #HomeBread #RaisinBread #Bread #Food
Freshly baked Raisin Bread on a cutting board with a bread-cutting knife next to it.

Google maps (in Canada and in UK where i was last week) shows Gulf of America and Gulf of Mexico, but Apple Maps only shows Gulf of Mexico < 👍 … I may switch from always using Google maps :-(
