    I hope that my eyes are not playing tricks on me, I can see that a tree is growing in the platin and the roots have dirt, so one would think that the dirt is mixing with the farine as the platin is getting heat

    Just back from DA.

    Drove pass where the bread was made. Was not ready on either occasion and could not pass back.

    This is on my ‘must do’ list when I return next year. Oh sweet memories of childhood.

    All natural old school process going on there eh. Dominica so unique man.

    I still like farine and zaboca or farine and sugar. It brings back childish memories.
