As one of my favorite musicians rattled… it’s ‘colder than a well diggers a**’ Haha! YES IT IS! Well, most definitely cold outside (like, -24 this morning) and gratefully staying cozy and warm inside. The bakers and cooks have never been so grateful for the heat off the grills and out of the ovens. Far cry from our hot, hot summer. If you are in town and having a challenge getting warmed up, come on over: tables are big, coffee is hot, strong and we could all use the body heat
