I heard there is a funny clown
Who with the circus came to town

It goes like this,
You’ll go

Writing recipes is HARD
My mum visited, gave her a sourdough starter. Then promised to send her a recipe. Then procrastinated. Then finally sat down to write 😰

I can pay a small amount but it would have to be done partly for interest/nerdery!
