Remember when I did my kitchen post, I dreamt of a large kitchen amongst an isle too thus that I tin accept lots of friends over to bake. But inward the goal I got too thus poor amongst my concluding kitchen. To those who didn't believe it's minor ... enquire Lena. Don't believe the pictures, they lie. LOL. Lena has seen the truth.
2 weekends back, Lena came over for a bake-gether. My first!!! Since she stayed only twoscore mins away, nosotros are considered pretty about each other. Chatted too yakked too thus much that nosotros started our baking session much afterwards than planned, LOL. When 2 chatty ladies come upwards together... imagine.. Some to a greater extent than it's non our outset existent life encounter. This is our 5th, too thus nosotros tin hold upwards considered onetime buddies already, Lena right?? LOL.
