@KeithA thank you for the prompt to make reservations. Some of my top choices were already unavailable but dinner reservations have been secured.

Should have mentioned, I've visited Monticello -- it was at least 15 years ago. Worth visiting again? More inclined to check out the area's vineyards.

Has anyone visited recently? Considering dinner at Ivy Inn or Alley Light. Planning to have lunch at Whiskey Jar and The Nook. Would appreciate some recommendations for meals and sightseeing.

Baked the jam swirled cake from "Snacking Cakes" by Yossy Arefi. I used some of my homemade peach jam for this recipe.

Congratulations!!! I’ve been to a few events catered by Susan Gage Catering and they always do a wonderful job. They cater small and large events. https://susangage.com

How would you like the software to assist with your menu making? What type of paper are you currently using for your menu cards and is this what you would like to continue using? Size and paper thickness might help determine the type of printers that will work for this project.

For a very fudgey brownie, I recommend Paul Young’s brownie recipes. https://youtu.be/d8mNY-omIsM

One thing to note when visiting Lancaster Pennsylvania is that many restaurants are closed on Sunday and Monday. I arrived Saturday evening and departed Monday afternoon and was not able to go to all the places that I intended due to their operating hours. I still had a very nice time and enjoyed the city and its restaurants. Sunday brunch at Zoetropolis. I had the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with a very nice cup of coffee. Pastries from Barberet. Pistachio eclair and their coco bomb (dacquoise, mango-coconut mousse, guava gel center). https://26eastlancaster.com/barberet/ Dinner at Cabalar Meat Co. I had their steakhouse burger. https://www.cabalarmeatco.com/ Monday lunch at Sprout Rice and Noodle. https://riceandnoodlesrestaurant.com/sprout-menu/

I was contemplating Central Market; you have moved it to a must visit. 🙂 I’m also figuring out how to fit Front Porch Baking into my schedule. And with your suggestions I now have some great places for nearby meals.

@curiouskitkatt thank you very much!

Any recent recommendations? I will be in Penn Square next week so mostly looking for things in that area but will be driving from Fairfax so willing to stop along the way as well. Currently planning for breakfasts at the New Holland Coffee Company & the Prince Street Cafe.

Roland Mesnier he died 26 August at 78.

Has anyone been here recently? Any recommendations? Thank you.

I suspect the cut the dough in half step is to give you two manageable dough balls to roll out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. It would be more difficult to roll out all the dough at once to that thickness and you would need a very large counter. My visual on this is that you are making two cinnamon sugar strudel logs (or coils). Sounds like it will be delicious for an afternoon snack with some coffee or tea.
