Grapefruit Cordial

October 23, 2014October 14, 2022 ~ Tandy ~ 26 Comments

I love how one word can have so many meanings! Being cordial means amongst other things being pleasant. When I deal with suppliers I try to be as cordial as possible.

We have had snow before in October but for some reason this … Continue reading Nut And Seed Bread
