The Bake Sale - lengthy
The local Sr. Citizens Center is having its annual fundraiser bake sale
tomorrow. I started baking at 8:00 a.m. this morning. Having done some
prep work yesterday (preparing the nectarines and apricots and measuring
out the dry ingredients), it was quick work to make a double batch of
Nutty Apricot Snack Loaf, bagged in decorated cello bags for $5 each:
