What is three kings cake? The tasty global food tradition for Epiphany explained Three Kings Day, or the Feast of the Epiphany, is celebrated with a delicious confection known in Spain "roscón de reyes," and "galette des rois" in France.

"Be it Spain, France or New Orleans, there are plenty of sweet iterations of king cake baked all over the world to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, when the three kings visited and brought gifts to baby Jesus."

Goodbye trusty beloved Braun stick blender (w 2 cracks). 😥You’ve been a wonderful trusty solid appliance for over 25 years. I’m so sorry it’s time to retire you.

Hello new fancy Breville stick blender. I hope you can last just as long and be just as beloved.

The Poilane walnut sourdough!

Her hydration is low - like 65%. It makes working w the dough easier for beginners. & while I WANT to do “sourdough only”, some yeast means failure is less likely. Lower stress overall. Highly recommended.
