Mo~~~~~~~~ How's the weather in NY?

Cinnamon Apple pancakes followed by Cinnamon Apple waffle washed down by hot coffee for brekkie for me followed by Cinnamon Apple pancakes followed by Cinnamon Apple waffle washed down by hot coffee for brunch followed by Cinnamon Apple waffle followed by Cinnamon Apple pancakes washed down by hot coffee just for a change for my tea.

In case you hadn't spotted it, I just <3 Cinnamon.

You could try the cinnamon apple frenchtoast for a change sometime..

I am a cinnamon fan as well. I generally put it in apple charlotte, or apple crumble etc.

and my mother used to make a cinnamon sponge cake which I loved.. I have only made it once we had guests and instead of being two neat sponges with cream in the middle it had a definite slope to it .. in fact you could ski down it... but it still tasted great.

Oh cr*p,Gins-don't ask about the weather.

I know it's bad over there,too.

Just day after flipping day of 90-98 F.

It's supposed to let up today/tomorrow.

Oh well....there must be a bright side to this.

Hello All,

I is here again feeling better than I have for the past 10 days :-D

I have caught up - I think- with everyone's news.

I have been going to bed with a hot water bottle and an electric fan talk about hot and cold ;-)

Am now trying to catch up with housework as OH wants to do a BBQ tomorrow!

Hope everyone is ok and nobody has melted ;-)

Let that housework wait Linds !!!

Glad you are starting to feel a little better but don't overdo it ! ;-)

It is only 21 degrees here today which is about 10 degrees lower than it has been every day for more than the past 2 weeks !! - I had to put a cardie on !!! :-D

Might have a BBQ as well tomorrow if it is not too hot ! :-D
