Sad to hear of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle's passing
Such a great director of so many wonderful films and p'raps even more importantly, a staunch critic of the Trump administration and all their cruel backward thinking policies RS

@nytimes.com: “The change to Calibri was meant to improve accessibility for readers with disabilities, such as low vision, dyslexia, and people who use assistive technologies like screen readers.“

Rout Cakes - Victoria
Although Jane Austen suggests “a poor attempt” by her heroine Emma Woodhouse, our chefs prepare these Rout Cakes perfectly, with dried currants and apricots.
