something delicious
Take some runny honey and softened butter in roughly equal amounts and blend together with cinnamon. That’s it. If you love cinnamon, add lots.

I foresee some xmas goodies in my immediate future. I’m sure it can’t bee too hard…

The rest of the onions are planted in my garden – hopefully they’ll get a good start on growing before winter! Anybody want the recipe? No? Too bad, I’m posting it anyway. There’s the small version and the big version, go with whatever suits.…
