Comment of the Week
Susie writes, "Yes, testing things before serving them is key!! A few weeks ago I had the new pastor’s wife and her kids over for a play date and coffee. I accidentally made her a latte using slightly soured milk!! And here I was feeling a bit miffed that she didn’t finish the whole cup 😂…. I learned at my next coffee break why that was."
Hi Susie, this has happened to me before and I was mortified! So important to test the milk. Oh well! 
Thank you for joining us for today's video. I hope it gives you inspiration to make some classic dishes and relax in style.
