Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for April 15, 2024

Dan’s look in panel 3…. the man knows what he’s facing, and how to face it.

Looked up bierocks, a bread roll with a meat or vegetable filling baked in. Darn it, now you’ve gone and made me hungry.

I can bore people with recollections of a wonderful neighborhood bakery from my childhood in St Louis and that’s almost 7 decades ago. They made the most wonderful deep butter cake.

I was upset to find out this month that a bakery in the town to the north of us closed – no more chocolate rum balls (unless I visit the German bakery in Indianapolis). :(

Plus Thursday we found out our favorite winery with its award-winning strawberry wine had closed December 31. :(

My wife often gives disclaimers when preparing meals.

Wait…you “Made Some” and didn’t save any for Dan to taste? Well..I guess if you deemed them “not bad” you wouldn’t want to serve them to your husband to get HIS opinion as long they weren’t perfect…carry on.

It’s nice to see Amanda the Great got some sponsorship. Now I’ve gotta try Burke’s Bakery!

Let us know how they turned out Manders, unless you’re not happy with the results.

Do you all have Cobbs bread down there? They make some really savoury pastries. sigh I miss that.

Can you really talk about bakeries too much? I think not!

OMG, I thought my family was the only one who ever heard of those!!!! My mom used to make them. She hasn’t made them in years, though. I actually like them! Hers don’t have a lot of cabbage so you don’t taste it much. That’s what I love about them.

Panel 3, Amanda’s heart eyes! I think they are better than not bad!
