I feel like my baguette process from beginning to end is solidified.

The road to this point started, oh, many, many years ago. But, I've been at it with diligence since last fall.

And, here I am, happy as hell.

It's nice to have a partner that remembers your feast day and follows through with the requisite bottle of fine bourbon as a gift.

(Laura forgot the last couple years and made up for it this year. 🤣)

Today was busy and I didn't have a ton of time to reflect on my mom, who was born today 99 years ago.

However, in true Margery Kopacki spirit, we have Tiki food and drink plans for this Saturday, a day which I decided to name The Palms of March.

I can already smell the essence of rum.
