It’s about time to close The Hotppot. I’ll still post occasionally on The Marys. And I’ll either be doing a closed blog or sending emails. I want to write more stuff about us, but can’t on the open blog o’sphere. See ya around!

I’ve had this National Bread Bakery for 20 years. We’ve made many loaves together over the years, loaves that have traveled with me, loaves that have become gifts for family and friends.
