The Raisin Bread version 1. punch and knead with a smile! For next version, try these: * 1/2 cup less flour on the mixture, to use on the countertop instead (??? is this a good idea?) * top rack bottom heat. * line the entire baking pan with baking paper (bottom & sides) , and use aluminum baking pan for easier clean-up 💡 Inspired by: Savor Easy Raisin Bread

Thats right, ' kopi ' (coffee) runs through my veins.  I run by its fuel, and a day without it feels incomplete. Not really a coffee connoisseur, just an avid coffee drinker.

One of my all-time fave Original Pinoy Music (OPM) by Mr. Rey Valera.  Reminds me of dad & mum, all their love and also the heartaches in between. Nobody is perfect and nobody's love is perfect, but God and God's love is. I have witnessed in their marriage, the loyal love of God,   at the center, holding them both together, individually and as one, keeping them sane, preserving them, making sweet waters out of the bitterness. Reminds me of Daddy God's promise: Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isa 46:4 Were it not for Christ Jesus, where else would every relationship go, but downhill, no matter how well-meant, willpower can only go so much; but the loneliness and hurts inside, the pride, and selfishness, truly, only the Lord Jesus can heal those. The good in every relationship that we see around?  That's God at work there, even if we don't see...
