We like pretzels. One of the things I really miss is fresh warm pretzels, the kind we used to buy at the old mall in Auburn. I don't know if the mall is open or will open. It was barely functioning before the COVID-19 shutdown. It's an aging mall in a bad location, not convenient … Continue reading MAKING PRETZELS – Marilyn Armstrong

ANOTHER WEEK – Marilyn Armstrong
