Hi Roy,
ReplyDeleteFor pardon me you should either say "pardonnez-moi" or just "pardon".
Have a great week-end,
Isabelle
PS: I'm going to learn how to make cupcakes on Sunday (I'll keep you posted!)
Good Luck on the cup-cakes, I will not tell Velia about them, because she would be on the 1st plane to France to try them :)
ReplyDeleteI've had pretty good success so far with my breadmaker. I make a fresh pizza every weekend, from scratch. -Roy
